AS THE Christmas decorations came out, six-year-old Lucy, above, decided to bed down in the box of tinsel.

Her owner said she does this every year, finding comfort in impromptu places, as cats do.

She has also been known to sleep in a sport bag, complete with squash shoes, but chose this festive resting place instead at her house in Acomb, York.

She is not the only feline getting festive this Christmas. Molly the cat, from Woodthorpe, York, right, can’t wait to get her Christmas presents.

These are some of the many photos Press readers have been sending in of their pets enjoying the festivities, ranging from guinea pigs to dogs and cats.
