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.

Sexing kittensAnyone whose cat has had kittens will know it's a difficult job to determine their sex. Staring into furry rear ends reveals not a lot in the way of dangly bits, etc.
However, when my mum was a wee lass, the people downstairs had a cat which had kittens on a regular basis. The mother cat used to chew the ears of all of the female kittens but leave the males alone!
So anyone who wanted a female kitten was given one with mutilated ears. Probably an evolutionary disadvantage, but for domestic moggies I wouldn't imagine it was too much of a problem.
