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.

Wally the Cat & the coal scuttle...Years ago, Wal, out black witch's cat, used to live high up on the mantelpiece above our old coal burning rayburn (think AGA) in the kitchen, which used to be alight pretty much all year... He used to jump up there from the corner of the kitchen table, and then just sprawl out on the mantelpiece with his 4 legs and tail hanging off... it was pretty hot up there, but cats love that sort of thing...
One day tho, he went to jump off the table, but there was a pile of papers on the corner which he was standing on, so his launch was not quite as successful as he wished, as all the papers went flying behind him... The loss in traction meant that he didn't quite reach the orbit he required to make the mantelpiece, but instead landing feet-first (of course!) square in the coal scuttle next to the rayburn... Unfortunately, as he climbed out, covered in coal dust and looking decidedly pissed off, he looked around and saw me and most of the family pointing and laughing at him as we'd pretty much seen the whole thing! Ha ha ha ha!
Poor old Wal, He was the best cat in the world!
