Corrie's camp factory worker Sean decides to have some fun with a dead cat - and ends up falling for a hunky vet in the process.

The feline frolics begin when Antony Cotton's character buys a stuffed cat from Keith and tricks all his friends into thinking it is his pet.

His plans take an unexpected turn, however, when Sean takes the monged moggy to the vet - and he encounters dishy animal doctor Tim.

Jason, played by Ryan Thomas, is the first target of Sean's japes when the factory worker and one-time bingo caller presents him with the cat as a token of his esteem.

When he finds out the cat is dead, Jason is less than impressed, but Sean decides he's on to a winner and takes his 'pet' to see the girls in the factory.

He didn't bargain for animal lover Fiz, played by Jennie McAlpine, calling a vet to come and see the desperately ill cat, however.

Embarrassment soon turns to something much stronger, however, when sexy Irish vet Tim, played by Edward MacLiam, arrives and Sean is instantly smitten.

Desperate to find out if the vet is gay or straight, he agrees to pay to borrow Chesney's dog Schmeichel to get him into the surgery - and closer to the lovely Tim.
