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.

pet the first (where does one start???)Back when video cameras were quite new; let's set the scene....
There was a share-house filled with folks of the very best intentions towards our furry friends. So much so in fact that a couple of them (this really wasn't me, promise) decided to help rehouse all the unwanted Christmassy kittens in the area, and put up posters and ads in the local papers. Kittens came from far and wide, the idea being to later readvertise slightly older kittens and find them more caring homes, for life.
Meanwhile, some 60-70 kittens are being cared for in the great basement room, which had previously been used as a band rehearsal room so was padded on the walls, and now houses a massive model train set and landscape: just perfect for cute kitteny play.
As I said, videos were quite new back then, and if we all look very carefully we may still be able to find the tape of what happened...
a few weeks in...
and for the very first time...
the trainset was turned on....
Sadly, this was also before the era of pet psychiatry.
