![]() When her beloved pet cat, "Flipper", was tragically killed in a freak everyday fire/water/electricity incident, no one was more surprised than Janet when the moggy returned from the grave. (except possibly Flipper.) Janet takes up the story - "Every Thursday I used to give Flipper his monthly bath. He loved splashing about in the water and used to get quite frantic with excitement. This particular Thursday I was using my husbands industrial strength electrical paint-stripper to dry Flipper. It works in much the same way as a normal hair-dryer though unfortunately with rather faster results. Flipper suddenly burst into flames, I immediately plunged him back into the bath, sadly dropping the paint-stripper in with him. The results were devastating as well as noisy, though pleasingly quick." Janet wrapped the remains of her cat in a blanket, placed the blanket in a large plastic Tupperware tub and buried him under the patio. "I was broken-hearted, I couldn't sleep for a week, except at night of course and sometimes in the early afternoon if there was nothing on the box". ![]() The shock of the accident had affected Flipper in many ways - he seemed to have lost his memory, he no longer wanted his favourite comfort snuggle-bunny and much of his fur had faded from white to ginger. Flippers' near-death experience or rather actual-death experience had virtually changed him to all extents and purposes into a different cat. Even more bizarrely, Flipper is now expecting kittens. It's quite extraordinary, says Janet "I don't know what to call him now he's a girl cat I can hardly keep calling him Flipper". Has something strange ever happened to you? why not tell us about it!
