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.

greedy houdiniI have a little story about my little hamster Harriet.
Harriet, who is sadly no longer with us, was effing huge, and really, really beautiful. Sable fur and big big eyes, she looked like a tiny bear.
Harriet was a real homemaker, she got very affronted when anyone dared to move anything in her cage and would kick up a real fuss and block all the tubes up with sawdust whenever you cleaned her out.
One night, mummy dearest forgot to put the lid back on Harriet's cage after she had been for her nightly stroll around the house in her royal hamster ball.
Harriet, being so proud of her home, did not attempt an escape. Instead, she sauntered out, hoovered up all the hamster treats and sugar flowers mum had been making for a wedding cake and had left on the dresser, and then calmly put herself back to bed.
Awww.
Also, if anyone says hamsters aren't intelligent they are WRONG WRONG WRONG - Harriet knew my voice and would climb up on my mum's shoulder to listen to me talk on the phone when I was away and calling home. How very cute.
I miss that little fluffy thing :(
