This is Buddy, Francesca’s beloved dwarf hamster. She got her parents Alistair and Trish to send us this picture.

Julie has sent in some pictures of Basil, a feral cat she has fed for over four years but still can’t get that close to.

“He comes in the house but only if the door stays open. He has had several homes in my garden.

"Although not a pet as such, he has so much character and has become our boy. Bless him.”
