Pets at home in Northern Ireland: cats do the funniest things as these 22 photos from our readers prove

All cat owners know that their pets can get up to the strangest things – but being able to snap a photo at just the right time isn’t always that easy.

We asked readers to share pictures of their fabulous felines in celebration of Global Cat Day and we were astounded by the response.

Thanks to everyone who posted brilliant photos of their cute cats and kittens.

But we also found a great selection of pictures showing mischievous moggies in all sorts of strange poses. Here are some that are sure to bring a smile to your face.
