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.

Henry and SolomonHenry was your typical wise-arse tabby alley cat, Solomon was a purebred pedrigree burmese we were given who despite his pedigree was worthless because he got his tail slammed in a door when he was a kitten.
Anyway, Solomon, being as inbred as the Duke of Edinburgh, was not the sharpest sandwich in the picnic. In fact, he was thick as shit.
Once, Henry decided it would be a merry jape to lie flat on one of our stairs pretending to be a step. Sure enough, Solomon proceeded to walk down the stairs, straight into the trap. Just at the right moment and with the biggest smirk across his face, Henry stood up and sent Solomon tumbling 8ft or so down the stairs, landing at the bottom looking even more dumbfounded than usual.
The fact that I was lucky enough to witness the orchestration and success of this feline practical joke always fills me with joy.
Oh yeah, this was many years ago. Henry lived a long and happy life and passed away some years ago. Solomon buggered off to the bastard old woman next door who used to feed him WHOLE CHICKENS and became so fat his legs buckled and he died :'(
