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.

Expensive catWhen I was younger, my mother had a mid-life crisis and bought a £450 Bengal cat.
He was really nice looking, with satiny fur - but £450!?
Anyway, we brought him home, but it was at an unfortunate time when out dog was having a phantom pregnancy, so she suckled him for about a month - but we weren't worried, as she'd done it with our other cat when we got it too.
Until the cat started jumping up at people when they came through the door, licking peoples faces, miaowing when the doorbell went and following the dog on walks. My mum even bought him a cat harness and lead, which he loved.
The dog and cat are both still alive, and he's a proper killer. My mum frequently has to take out pigeons, rats, mice, voles and various small birds - I think his record was 4 birds in one day. Recently, when I was visiting my mum, he brought in a mouse with the mouse trap still attached - cheat! And when I lived at home, he brought in a coi carp. I can't fathom HOW he did it... fishing in a pond? Did it jump out? It was a huge one too, one of those expensive ones.
Crazy.
Length? He's been done.
