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.

HamstersHad a hamster when I was younger, called him Dracula as he bit everyone and everything. He eventually escaped by chewing through the floorboards in our bathroom (clever little bastard pulled back, and then replaced, the carpet so we wouldn't notice). Can't say I was too sad... Lost a lot of blood with that one.
Also, when I lived in Brazil my two youngest sisters were given two hamsters by a friend who's family was being posted to Thailand. One day these hamsters were spooked by the hoover and play dead. My mum finds them and assumes they are chewing lettuce in heaven... but given that it was around 45C that day decides that she should 'keep them on ice' until my sisters come back from school. So she put them in the freezer. She got a bit of a shock later on when the plastic bag they'd been put in was empty, and two frozen hamsters were at the back of the freezer. Worse thing is that she gave them to the porter of our building to bury. Two days later he told me he'd eaten them instead.
