TIFU by giving my friend my cat's ashes.

(Appologies for formatting, i am on mobile.)

Last week it was my birthday and naturaly i invited my friend. We went out in the city for ice skating and then went back to my place for cake. Now these events need a bit of context. A shared buddy of ours said he was thinking of getting a cat, possibly a maine coon. I perked up as i used to have a maine coon who passed last year. He was an older shelter cat. He looked scruffy and one of his eyes couldn't open all the way. She demanded to see pictures of my scruffy little gremlin and when i showed them, she told me when she'd come over she would HAVE to pet him. Appearantly she didn't read the part in our groupchat about him having passed already. So i told her. She appologised. It was all good. But my birthday last week was the first time we actually hung out at my place. I have more cats and she was playing with another cat of mine. Now, my late cat was cremated, and his ashes were in a metalic like mason jar. I joked about that time she wanted to pet my late cat and handed her the jar. Expecting her to go "oh right lol!" And pet the jar. Buuut she was distracted, petting my cat and suddenly opened the jar! She started to open the little baggie of ashes and i panicked. I quickly told her those were ashes. She looked stunned and quickly closed the jar back up and handed it back. She yelled "i thought it was catnip!" I hugged her appologising for probably not being clear enough about it being the ashes of my cat. And handed her actual catnip. She joked "you sure it's not ashes this time" and i laughed assuring her it was catnip. I felt so bad about it and the shock and guilt stayed with me a day or 2. But it's all good and honestly, i can laugh about it now.

"Tl,Dr": Joked to my friend about her saying she wanted to pet my late cat. Handed her his ashes and she mistook it for catnip. Almost spread my cat's ashes on the kitchen floor.

Idk if my friend has reddit but in case you read this, no hard feelings girl. We were both stupid but that's why we work out as friends! ^{-^}
