A CAT who loves sitting in the kitchen sink gets into the Christmas spirit.

Dressed in a furry collar and hat, Bugsy is one of the newest entries in the Daily Echo’s Festive Pets competition.

The one-year-old British blue shorthair pedigree – showname Revodna Pendragon – can regularly be found sitting in the sink of owner Julie Carter, from Fordingbridge.

Bugsy was born in Andover – that’s Revodna backwards, hence the feline’s showname – but Julie and her family travelled to Cardiff just before Christmas last year to bring the cat back to Hampshire.

Julie said: “Bugsy is a real character, who loves sitting in the kitchen sink.

“He also loves to snuggle up in a pink box by our feet in the lounge every night.

“We thought he wouldn’t like dressing up in his 99p Christmas outfit, but he just sat there in the sink while I took photographs.”

The competition is running throughout the month and we are inviting owners to send in pictures of their pets dressed in their best Christmas clobber in the hope of winning this year’s title.
