WE have been asking you to send in more snaps of your pets enjoying lockdown - and you did not disappoint.

The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in many of us working from home and spending more times with our pets.

South Essex’s cats have enjoyed the extended periods around us and here are just a few photographs of what our readers’ moggies have been getting up to.

We would love to see more pictures of your pets.
