YOUR pets really are the cat's whiskers.
Five feline friends feature in our weekly selection of readers adored animals.
They include a 19-year-old who is deaf and blind but very vocal and a cuddly cat who likes to spy on birds and squirrels.
The common theme seems to be relaxation for these Hampshire moggies!

BEAUTIFUL rescue cat Simba from Eastleigh is deaf, blind and very vocal! The Perisan cross has reached the ripe old age of 19!
POSING is never too much trouble for gorgeous Maine Coon Bruce, a rescue from Cats Protection who otherwise likes to take life at a very relaxed pace.
WALLE the tabby is snug as a bug in a rug in this picture. He's a cuddly cat who loves to watch birds and squirrels out of the window.
LOTUS the Siamese cross has a cute personality and gives great cuddles so she's always forgiven for doing anything she's not supposed to!
BELLE is one cute kitty. She is very playful and loving and even licks the noses of those she loves!
Pets
FROM doting dogs and cuddly cats to bonny bunnies and huggable hamsters, pets are an enormous part of our lives. Whether it's a four-legged friend, brightly-coloured bird or fascinating fish, they become part of the family. A cherished part of our day to day life. To celebrate the role pets play, we'd love to see your pictures and put them firmly in the spotlight - where they belong. Send us your photos and details here and we'll print as many as we can in the paper and online.
