Lurch just ran away. Pussy Cat just faded away. Bunny Fluff just kicked his back legs one last time and went as stiff as a floorboard.
I wept, of course, because that’s what you do when your childhood pets shuffle off the animal equivalent of this mortal coil, but then quite soon my tears dried up and I got on with my life which at the time mainly consisted of reading The Beano and half-making Airfix kits of World War Two fighter planes.
Bunny Fluff had eyes the colour of blancmange and fur the colour of rice pudding. His hutch was a luxurious detached pad that my dad had made from timber and wire netting and Bunny Fluff enjoyed bounding around his apartment and then gambolling in the fenced off bit of the garden that was his domain. Indeed, his hutch appeared so big that I bet my mates that I could get inside it and lie down.
