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.

Picky? Not Him.Our Tristan(aka 'Pinky' because of his bubblegum pink nose) is the anti-finicky eater. He's a shelter rescue, like all of our cats, and his time as a stray apparently introduced some interesting foods into his diet.
Among the foods he eats are:
tortillas - chips - crisps - courgettes - popcorn - biscuits - scones - collard greens - cornbread - tofu - soy 'meat' of any and every kind(goes nuts for it) - shrimps and scallops(but not oysters) - potatoes - matzo balls - butter - quiche - mushrooms - sprouts - cheese, especially goat's cheese - and, of course, cat food both wet and dry.
When offered any of these foods on a fork, he delicately takes the bite without his mouth ever touching the tines. It's such a charming little trick that he always gets a few bites of what he wants at every meal.
Perhaps the most surprising thing is that he eats all of this when he can get it and it perfectly healthy and of average size.
