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.

This will be a hard oneI have too many stories for this. I'm already getting out the slide projector.
Worst one I can think about is my dog Mickey. He's a bichon frise, which is close to a poodle. Like all bichons, he has a habit of keeping his nose to the ground whenever he walks anywhere, and he loves eating random things.
One time he got really sick and nobody knew why. My mom noticed he hadn't had a bowel movement in a while. I think after a week she started to panic. She took him to the vet where they determined there was some sort of blockage. It could be serious, and they recommended exploratory surgery to locate the source of the blockage. It was going to be expensive.
He spent the night at the vet before the operation. Then, in the morning, he took a huge dump. Mixed in with it was a piece of plastic wrap, like the kind that you would package ground beef in.
That single bowel evacuation ended up saving my family a small fortune in unnecessary surgery.
