Pet portraits: Cat Lexi and dog Dream snuggle close together

The close bond of cat Lexi and dog Dream in this week’s gallery of your pets proves the stereotype of the species being enemies is a myth.

It’s a wholesome as ever round-up of our readers’ companions which is sure to brighten your day.

We have a grumpy cat, a Border Collie gnawing away at a pair of slippers and a rabbit with one of the best names we’ve seen on the Pets page – Patch Bunnyton.

Kobi seems to have more important things to do than pay attention as Helen from Uig takes her photo! Even if she isn’t looking, the lovely lass makes picturesque Portree even more stunning.

Some might call her a trip hazard, but we prefer to think of Chloe as rightfully the centre of Alison Taylor’s attention in Tain!

Canada’s loss is Scotland’s gain! Purrfect Ellie was adopted by Christina Noble when she lived in Quebec, but the pair now stay across the pond in Peterhead.

It’s “reigning” cats and dogs this week! As soon as little Lexi snuggled in with dashing Dream, victory was sealed – Elma Robertson’s Pitmedden pets are this week’s winners.

Stunning Sulley stands out in the snow at Loch Callater, Braemar. Cara Copland’s dapper gent certainly seemed to enjoy a bracing day out from Aberdeen.

Harvey’s a pup with a positive attitude! The Peterhead pooch bagged his first Munro, Cairngorm, with Scott Maskame.

We don’t know what we did, Phoebe, but we’re sorry! The grumpy but gorgeous girl takes no nonsense from Claire Grant in Aberdeen.

OK, so Roy the Border collie probably isn’t supposed to be chewing footwear, but he’s way too adorable to be angry at. The slipper-stealer keeps Peter Sutherland on his (bare) toes in Golspie.

Gus, Rab and Sam are on top of the world at Meall nan Tarmachan in the Lawers range. The terrific trio travelled from Fife with Stephanie Taylor to take their good looks to new heights.

A rabbit as fine as this one deserves a grand name to match... Meet Patch Bunnyton, ruler of Amy McDonald’s place and everything else in Blairgowrie! — A rabbit as fine as this one deserves a grand name to match… Meet Patch Bunnyton, ruler of Amy McDonald’s place and everything else in Blairgowrie!

What could be more lovely than the sunlight over Roseisle beach? Molly, that’s what! The sandy sensation enjoys a seaside stroll with Darren Richardson from Inverness.

Delightful Daisybell proves that the best things really do come in small packages. The gorgeous girl lives with Liz Gillespie in Markinch.

Other dogs have tried, but surely nobody can match noble Rab for posing poise! The handsome nine-year-old conquers Montrose Beach with Vicky Whitecross.

Hamish the Jack Russell might have wee legs, but they got him all the way to the top of Bennachie to admire the view! The Pirie family’s petite pet is a big star in Strichen.
