Mum said that when i was little we lived in a flat and there was bungee jumping near us, you could see them from our flat. So i tied string round my cat and chucked it off the balcony! Mum managed to catch it and it survived.

Oh my god.

I thought *I* was the only one who ever did something like that, though my newts didn't survive hot tap water... or at least, my mom and stepbrother didn't give them a chance to. They got "burial at sea" straight away.

However, my plecostomus DID survive three-year-old-me taking him out of the tank several times to pet him.

When I was about 7 or 8 I woke up in the middle of the night to hear strange crunching noises coming from somewhere very close by.

Reached out and switched on bedside lamp turned over and came face to face with my cat who was sat on my pillow next to me with one of my stick insects sticking out her mouth. Staggering around over the duvet (thank god not under it) were my other stick insects all half eaten, missing limbs etc

Cat had hidden under bed in the evening so we hadn't realised she was there, then she'd snuck out once the lights were out and got into the stick insect tank in the corner of the room, but of course being a cat she wanted somewhere nice and comfy to sit while she munched.

Naturally I screamed the place down...

eh, my dog (family springer spaniel still residing with folks), ran into a neighbours garden...they were in the garden with their cat...it chased the cat, which ran in the door and up the stairs, with Flyn on his tail...it did a leap of faith out the bedroom window and died

Man that brings back real bad memories...

hmmmm, when i was younger i had a tropical fish tank with figure 8 puffers and little cambodian sharks none of them lived longer than a week and i kept replenishing the fish so it was kinda like Auschwitz for fish really lol!

On reflection now im older it was probably the water quality.

[*H*]

Er, I had 2 stick insects when i was younger...... and I thought they had died as they wern't moving.. and being a bone idle teenager I left them where they was for weeks and the tank got all misty.......... so my mum thought she'd empty the tank when I was away for the weekend..... so she picked up the tank and took the lid off but got side tracked talking to my brother....... so she was stood there holding the tank in her arms without the lid........... next thing she knew she felt something on her face......... and looked down and was COVERED in hundreds of tiny stick insects ...... Lol wasn't allowed any more after that

i had a cat called sly that was run over by a land rover but survived with only a small graze on his nose (god knows how) only to be run over by a mini bus full of primary school kids a month later.. he was a daft cat, always sitting in the road and used to chase cars and run into table legs and stuff :/
