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.

FudgeWe had a hamster called Fudge, who was quite the acrobat, and could open the side flap of her cage by clamping on the the cage with her teeth and pushing with her paws as hard as she could on the flap. We normally put a padlock over it, but one night we forgot, and she escaped. We spent half an hour looking for her, then gave up and had breakfast.
We found her in the top drawer in the kitchen, sleeping on about 6 very sharp carving knives. She had escaped, crawled under the kitchen door, past the washing machine, round the back of the cupboards, up 5 drawers and fallen asleep.
She was very clever, and could even climb up the curtains, 2 metres up, then fall, and still be fine. She also enjoyed chasing our rabbits around the house, one moment being a rabbit chasing her, going behind the sofa, then the rabbit running out with Fudge chasing it. I miss Fudge...
Length? It was a girl hamster....
