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.

CaesarCaesar was one of three cats we once had. They were rescued kittens from feral parents & as such they weren't your pedigree stock.
Julie had weight gain early followed by weight loss in her later years (it was a proper medical reason too; not greedy-cat-itis)
Her sister Cleo had a propensity for climbing up the roof ladder & walking on the fibreglass loft insulation (her pink paw pads & nose would glow for ages after)
And then there was Caesar.....
who was diagnosed with epilepsy. On tablets to control his fits it never held him back. He would love to climb & be fussed. He'd climb the curtain on the back door from floor to curtain rail then hang back to be caught. He'd climb legs then jumpers in order to sit on your shoulders as you stood in the kitchen doing stuff. He'd launch himself in a one-way jump from the side to me Mum many a time. Once he tried that with me but I caught him mid-air much to both our surprise!
They all passed on years ago now & are always missed.
