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.

cat + frozen fishI've always had cats, so have many stories about the little buggers.
One of my favourites is about an old cat of mine who's name was Hedley. He was a proper little scamp, always nicking stuff from the kitchen.
One day I'd got some fish out of the freezer and left it on the counter to defrost. I'd popped out the kitchen for a minute and when I came back in, there was Hedley on the counter with the fish in his gob.
When he saw me (and knowing that an almight kick up the arse was coming) he flew off the counter straight for the catflap.
Shame the little bugger didn't think to drop the fish - it was wider than the catflap. There was an almight crash as cat hit catflap, then he sat there dazed for a moment (I swear it was like looking at Wiley Coyote, I could almost see the tweety birds flying round his head), before he ran off in that way that only embarrassed cats can.
He never used the catflap after that.
