FROM dogs and cats, bunnies and hamsters, lizards and birds, pets are an enormous part of our lives.
Whether it's a furry friend, fish, spider or snake, they become part of the family. A cherished part of our day to day life.
And we have been putting readers' pets in the spotlight, as they have shared photos and stories about their animals.
If you would like to take part, you can fill in our Q&A below or email claire.pierce@newsquest.co.uk
Now meet this week's furry and feathered friends...
Your pets
Share with us the pets in your life that are definitely part of the family. Maybe there's an interesting or funny tale to tell or maybe they're just too gorgeous not to share with our readers.
