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.

Phantom PooI've got a young kitten called Charlie. He's a year old now, but this happened when he was about six months.
I'd been aware for some time that he was in the litter tray. It's a covered one (I hate the sight of poo) and he would normally sit in it with his head poking out whilst he did his business.
(does anyone else call "we know what your doing?" to their cat when there on the loo? I swear that the look on their faces makes me think they understand English)
Anyway, much scrabbling was going on inside and when he did emerge he looked a little freaked out. He ran down the hallway as if the hounds of hell were chasing him, then stopped and looked behind him before running and stopping again.
Then I noticed the trail of poo that was following him. This wasn't a poo trail on the floor, oh no. This was three little solid lumps that appeared to be chasing after him.
On closer inspection, it turned out that Charlie had swallowed one of my girlfriends hairs (they're very long). The poo was threaded onto the hair which was still stuck up his bum.
Poor little mite did howl so when I pulled it out, and have you ever seen a cat make a face like it's sucking lemons? Well, Charlie pulled that face that day...
