Cats star in Pet Idol

CATS Theo and Lily are hoping to clean up in the Echo’s Pet Idol competition. Theo, who will be one next month, is a cheeky character according to owner Cerys Jefferies. “He has us up at 6am every morning for his milk,” she said.

While fur-conscious cat Lily is waiting for owner Karen McInery to sort out her bad hair day. Meanwhile, fellow feline Joey, three, likes to catch up with all the latest city news in the Echo. “Joey is a Bluebird and was delighted to see Malaysian investment into the club,” said owner Clare Woodcock. “His paws are crossed for another trip to Wembley.”

As for poser pooch Toto, he loves dressing up and having a trip in the car, so proud owner Lynda Sweetman took this snap capturing Toto combining the two. “He’s such a poser,” she said Spaniel Fudge gave owner Neil Richards a surprise when the three-year-old was found in the tumble dryer. “Fudge is the maddest dog we have owned,” said Neil. “We couldn’t believe our eyes when we found him in the tumble dryer.”
