Who's a pretty boy?

It's another Furry Friday, with an array of pet pictures that Four Legs Good readers have emailed us or posted on our Facebook page (which you're all welcome to do). Every pet here is pretty wondrous looking.

Here's cover-boy Paprika, Shar's tabby, falling asleep while watching his handsome reflection.

Shar says of Paprika: "He's a very big cat, but he acts like a kitten when he wants attention. But he does prowl around the place like a lion; he knows he's an important cat. He takes space on the bed like he OWNS the bed."

Speaking of owning the bed, guess who's taken up squatters' rights to this one?

Bayly

That's seven-year-old chocolate Labrador Bayly, snapped by owner Mandy during a game of hide and seek with Teddy.

Next, to follow two restful shots is a real action scene:

Tonto and dogs

This is Tonto the ocicat, six months old at the time, standing her ground against two dogs. Thanks to Tonto's owners, Tracy and Peter, and their landlady, who took the stunning photo early on a recent morning. Tonto looks as though she's nobody's sidekick.

Next is Chamalie's dog Maya, taking a nap. Funny how they choose spots in the house where everyone has to step over them...

And here's another Labrador, Maria's three-year-old Allie. That alert stare can mean only..."where's my treat?"

A change of species now. Meet Wonky the rabbit, who's sooooo bored with the day's news.

And finally, can't we all get along? Yes we can. Claire posted this picture of a peaceful moment at home with her adopted retired greyhound Susie, adopted Rottweiler Rossi, and KeedaCat.

If only life were like that all the time! Ah no, it'd be unnaturally quiet.

I love the last pic. I'm guessing that KeedaCat gets along with the two dogs because he doesn't have much of a choice ;-)

When I was a teenager I caught a fantastic pic of the family dog on a chair with all 3 cats sleeping on her. Gorgeous!

LOVE the action shot. The Kitty on the post looks a bit like mine, my one is a scardey cat though and probably wouldn't have stood his ground

cute animal pics make me want to vomit... and cats are nothing but introduced predators that should be treated the same as rats, ferrets and stoats.

KeedaCat loves Susie and will often sleep with her, she's not so keen on Rossi who likes to sniff her bum. It's our other cat who causes the dramas - he parades around like he owns the place, must be a tabby thing!

I like the two dogs and the cat sleeping together. When we had a house full of dogs and cats they used to sleep like that in front of the fire. Big dog on the outside, small dog inside his legs, and the two cats curled up against the small dog - or on top of the big dog sometimes.

Im just not happy about having a pet. The cat fur goes clings to my trousers. I have a pair for work and a pair for casual but somehow I still get cat fur on both.

Maybe instead of eating your big can of angry for breakfast you should try some Skippy K.

Wish my 2 beasts would sleep together. Actually I wish they would get on full stop, but no, the cat is to posh for the dog.
