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.

Pepper the pillow shredderMy dog Pepper was a border collie/blue healer mix I got as a stray. He was a sweet dog, but he freaked out when alone and took out his frustration by chewing (he completely destroyed his plastic crate and later ate a hole in the drywall).
One day I came home from work to find my apartment covered with feathers. He must have had a grand old time shredding one of my feather pillows and I can just picture the feathers flying as he dragged the pillow all over the apartment.
I started closing my bedroom door when I went to work, and that solved that problem.
One day, I came home from work and noticed a feather near the front door. "Funny," I thought. "I thought I cleaned up all the feathers from the last time he...OH NO!"
At this point Pepper came running down the stairs, feathers wafting off of him. He'd have been in a lot of trouble if it hadn't been so cute.
