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.

Bigpuss the catA very large cat once arrived at the family home. He decided to stay after my grandfather fed him smoked salmon. As we were short of imagination we called him 'Bigpus'.
One summer we were a bit worried that Bigpuss wasn't eating his food. Until my father chanced upon him eating a baby rabbit. He was that hard.
He was also a slut. Later on he lived with me and a mate in a very dodgy flat in Edinburgh. As were living on benefits the flat wasn't very warm. So he used to crawl into bed with one of us. And by the morning he would be tucked up in the other bedroom. The hussy.
He was also fond of waking you up by scratching your face in the middle of the night when he was bored. So one night my mate took revenge. He had to get up very early to catch a coach to London. As he wasn't very good at waking up he decided to stay up all night. So he locked Bigpuss in his room and spent the night giving him Abu Ghraib style sleep deprivation. Whenever Bigpuss fell asleep he picked him up and started to talk to the cat.
The cat seemed to survive as he lived to well over 20.
