Pet StoriesWhen one of my cats was younger and a lot fatter, he came bowling in from the garden with an almighty crash. Looking slightly stunned, he'd arrived into the kitchen having ripped the cat flap from the door and was still wearing it as a cat-tutu. Did I mention he was quite fat?
In honour of Jake, a well loved cat, who died on Wednesday, tell us your pet stories and cheer us up.

Cats..My old cat, Patches, died years ago..
Way to start a story, eh?
Actually, she was a funny cat. Massively clumsy (which cats normally aren't). She used to love walking along the Windowsill on my mum's bedroom, only to get to the end and fall off. We'd be sitting in the living room (below) and hear a sort of meeow and see a dark brown blur go by.
Also, she used to like to sleep in odd places. Normally, the top of our boiler (nice and warm). However, one day, we couldn't find her, so we walked around the house calling her. Eventually, we heard a quiet and rather pathetic sounding meeow coming from the kitchen. So, I went in there, called her again. Heard another meeow, coming from the Cutlery drawer. Someone had left it open, she'd gone to sleep in the back, and someone else had closed it.
Our current cat has his moments as well. Before I carry on, I should explain that he appears to consider his own tail to be another animal. He has a tendancy to wander around not really caring where his tail goes. This means he frequently knocks stuff off tables, but it also means that if he's on the kitchen worktop, he's been known to stick it near the cooker. On one occasion, it caught fire. He was OK, just a little pissed off at having water thrown at him.
