Ernest the cat has had his sight restored by contact lenses in what is believed to be a medical first.
Meanwhile, less fortunate turkies are getting their own back on humans from beyond the grave.No wonder Terence the turkey keeps himself apart from his pals. He’s not going to be a Christmas dinner. The lucky bird managed to dodge being someone’s main course because he has become one of the family down at the farm.
Farmer Roger Barron, 53, and wife Marianne, 49, are so attached to him they’ve invited him for Christmas. At their turkey farm in Essex, Marianne said: "There was something different about him. He was more brazen, jumping on bales of hay, squawking and showing who was leader of the pack."
Before long he was coming into the family home for food. Marianne said: "I couldn’t bear having him slaughtered with all the rest. So Terence is going to be guest of honour at our dinner table. He will have a special place laid. While we’re tucking into one of his old pals, he’ll be feasting on a plateful of grain. He won’t get any bubbly, though. We don’t want a drunken bird. After all, the cure would be cold turkey."

Zoo-keepers have apologised to visitors for the stench coming from a gorilla enclosure after feeding the animals sprouts.
'Sprouts can cause bouts of flatulence in animals and humans. But I don't think any of us were prepared for a smell that strong,' said Michael Riozzi of Chessington Zoo in Surrey.
A Chinese man was shocked to discover the dog he had raised from a pup was actually a rare Arctic fox.
Zhang, of Tunkou, bought what he thought was an all-white Pomeranian dog for £60 a year ago on a business trip. But he found the dog hard to tame, it would often bite him and had several unusual traits, he told the Wuhan Evening Post.
"It can't bark but instead makes little 'em em' noises, and its tail has been growing longer and longer," he said. "The most annoying thing is that starting this summer, the dog became very smelly. Even when we gave it a daily shampoo bath, the smell was still strong."
Zhang took his 'dog' to a local zoo for answers, and it turned out the dog is actually an Arctic fox, a protected rare species. He has now donated the animal to the zoo.
