TODAY we say hello to five of your furry friends as we put them in the spotlight.

Give a warm welcome to Arti the cat, Dolly the Brussels Griffon, Blue the long hair cat, Monty the Cockapoo and Gus the cat, who is pictured having a stretch.

Monty’s owner Susan Dingwall said the Cockapoo loves to chase balls and zoom around the house.

Arti the cat is a stray who adopted his owner Yvonne nine years ago, he enjoys sleeping in our summerhouse alongside his best friend Pops who is the neighbour’s cat. They’ve been great friends since Arti showed up and love to be together as much as possible.

Owner Yvonne said: “He has a big personality. He’s very stubborn, very resilient and very loving . He’s spent the summer snoozing on the garden sofa. It’s not a bad life.”

At 12 years old, Gus the cat likes to sleep a lot although he is happy to wake us up at 5am for his breakfast, according to his owner Lou Andrews from Bournemouth.

Katie Geary from Ringwood introduced us to her Brussels Griffon, Dolly.

She said: “Dolly loves walks and eating cheese, she is absolutely bonkers, & makes us laugh everyday.”

Last but not least, we introduce Blue the long hair cat from Bournemouth, who loves to sit on/in boxes of all sizes, meow whilst her owner is in work meetings or on the phone, and climb the front door to look out of the glass.
