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.

hamster vs gerbilsWhen I was younger I had a hamster who was named Harry after the magician as he would escape from anything he was put in, even worked out how to unhook the catch on those hamster balls. Clever sod.
I also had two gerbils called Pinky & Perky, they did not like being picked up and were not domesticated at all.
Anyway we kept them in rather large fish tanks with chipboard wooden lids which had large bits of mesh fixed into them - which was great for hamster acrobatics.
They were placed about a foot apart from each other...
Somehow Harry managed to climb up the vertical side of glass of his tank, lift up the rather heavy (for a hamster!) chipboard lid, not decapitate himself, JUMP a foot clear across to the gerbils cage and get inside!
Now that is a a feat worthy of any magician...
We only found out that this is what had happened after my mum noticed later that evening the gerbils were not sleeping in their little house... They had bite marks and everything!
Length? I bet the hamster raped the gerbils too...
