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.

AmeliaBless, one of our 2 cats, Ruger, died last year - it was not pleasant watching him die by any means, and traumatized my husband and I for quite some time.
A few weeks prior to that, Down on the Farm had done a wonderful drawing of Ruger and Kramer - thanks DOTF!
Anyway, about 5 weeks after Ruger went to kitty heaven to frolic under the orange tree, our neighbors had found 2 abandoned kittens and rescued them. As soon as I laid eyes on this one kitty, I made my husband fall in love with her.
She was fluffy and had the biggest, most trusting eyes, and the neighbors said we could have her.
We named her Amelia.
Amelia was loads of fun, and we found out she was a Bengal cat. She was a little wild, but she would snuggle up to me on the couch and nuzzle into my hair.
About 5 weeks after we got her, his balls dropped. Yes. Amelia was actually a boy. We spend about an hour online making sure, we even measured the distance from anus to nuts to make sure. Then we took him to the vet. Yup, definitely a boy. Now his name is Cornelius, and he's still a wild child - even getting his nuts chopped didn't help much. But he still nuzzles up to me on the couch - he loves his mummy.
