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.

FrogsAs was done in the 70s, I used to collect tadpoles in the spring and watch them metamorphose into frogs. Well, one year - I was probably 9 or 10 - I had collected my batch of little black wriggly things, and they had grown legs. I kept them in an old fish tank on the kitchen windowsill.
When my mum opened the curtains in the morning, she was met with several half-inch long frogs hopping around, out of the tank.
My mum hates frogs. They give her the creeps.
They were released into the local reservoir later that day.
Actually, thinking back on it, good on my mum for putting up with my tadpoles, when she was actually a bit scared of them.
Do kids still collect tadpoles these days? Or has the HSE banned it?
