Pet subjects

The photos of cats on bird tables has prompted a flurry of great pet pictures.

Thanks to Ian and Julia Hawley of Brentingby in Leicestershire for showing us this adorable pair.

It's Mr Toon (aka Toony) and black lab Bracken. 

Toony is a 16-year-old neutered tom who Julia's had since a kitten.

Apparently, he divides his time between mousing and snoozing - the latter preferably in a sunny spot in the garden or, in winter, on a bed.

"Although they are best friends, he is the boss of Bracken and the younger farm moggy, Tiger Frosty, who lives outside," says Julia.

"He can wrap my husband, Ian, round his little finger with his assorted demands for food, being let in, being let out, or getting the prime spot for a snooze on his lap. He is an affectionate and very individual little chap who is greatly loved!"

The picture below shows Toony after an obviously productive hunting session...
