He has two 'sisters' (my daughters Isabella, seven, and Hope, 12 weeks old). He is a massive part of the family and is like one of my children. He’s spoilt rotten. The photo I’ve captured is one of the best I’ve ever taken. I think it sums up lockdown very well too!"

Holly the cat has been with Sarah Gunter for 13 years. Sarah, of New Inn, near Pontypool, said: "Holly is originally from Scotland where we had her from a kitten when we moved from Wales to Scotland. We moved back to Wales many years ago and, of course, brought Holly back with us. She is enjoying all the fuss she can get with us all having extra time to play with her and cuddle her when she is in the mood during lockdown. Holly is a house cat so she also enjoys the odd day outside if it's nice and warm as she doesn't like the rain."

Arthur lives with Molly Richards, of Christchurch Road, Newport. He's been part of the family since November 2019. Molly said: "Arthur is an Apricot Maltipoo. He's loving having us all home from work and school everyday and is especially loving his new Instagram account @arthurthemaltipoo. We got him from a breeder in Wolverhampton in November and ever since he's been a great addition to the family. We also run a kickboxing academy @AJskickboxingacademy and when that is open he is there four nights a week with us all. He loves all the children and the attention he gets off everyone."
