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.

Suicidal KittenWe got our first cat as children - it came from a neighbour who had a small zoo in their back garden (they used to keep sheep there - in the middle of an East London council estate).
Anyhew - 'biscuit' arrived and would delight us with all the cute kitten-y antics. My little brother (who was a toddler at the time) would be wandering around the room, only for this black and white blur to run full pelt at his back and launch itself, 4 paws outstretched and land on his nappy, claws embedded. He would be quite happy to then toddle around with a cat attached to his arse!
However, one day the cat went missing - we had just started the search when our neighbours from downstairs knocked on the door (we lived in a second storey maisonette) with a black and white bundle covered in blood. Aparently Biscuit had seen an open window climbed out onto the window sill and launched herself into the air, only to fall three floors onto concrete below. Normally a fall isn't a problem for cats, as they naturally rotate themselves in mid-air to ensure they land on all fours - only this time, due to the distance - she made a perfect 5-point landing, with her chin hitting the floor too.
Stupid moggy did the same thing a week later! 15 years later she's still going strong though!
