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.

Your rabbit's a fucking wuss compared to Jaffa.My nan's rabbit, Jaffa, now sadly deceased, lived to be 11 years old. It was also the most bad tempered rabbit I've ever seen. It had huge bright yellow teeth, white fur, and evil red eyes and would literally go for you if you threatened it. It also made a low rumbling noise.
One night, a fox turned up at my nan's house. She shooed it away, fearing it would try and eat the rabbit. But that wasn't the end of Mister Fox.
When he came back, later, he proceeded to go after Jaffa. My nan heard what she calls "a terrible wail" from the garden. She gets out there and finds Jaffa's mouth clamped around the nose of the fox who is desperately trying to shake himself free.
Finally, the fox shook Jaffa off, at which the rabbit literally growled (unless my nan's making things up) and charged at him. At this, the fox took major evasive action.
Later on, my grandad came outside and found lots of blood on Jaffa's fur and their garden. But it wasn't rabbit blood. Oh certainly not.
He lived to die of natural causes last year.
Here's to Jaffa, fox-slaying rabbit.
