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.

LabradorsAnyone who has one will know that they are basically stomachs on legs.
Our old dog Maud (named so Mother could sing, "come into the garden Maud" at her) was a terror for eating stuff. Smartest dog I've ever met, but she could eat anything.
Examples:
1. When she was young she would happily devour an entire pair of football boots
2. Was once woken up by howling akin to that of a wolf to discover that the dog had eaten an entire large loaf of wholemeal bread that had been accidentally left on the kitchen table overnight.
3. Numerous portions of sunday roast
4. Innumerable Easter Eggs (She was amazing at unwrapping them first)
5. and my personal favourite: after a trip to the theatre with the family one christmas, we returned to find that the dog had devoured an entire box of liquor chocolates that had been wrapped up under the christmas tree and was staggering around like a drunk.
I seem to recall that the only things she wouldn't eat were slugs and bananas. Clever girl.
sadly she had to be put to sleep at the grand old age of 15. The new dog is the spitting image, but smaller and with a mad glint in it's eye
that is all
