It has been a tough three months, but in the UK the word on the street is that lockdown is easing slowly and surely. Question is: what have pet owners been up to in that time?

Creations for dogs and cats now adorn houses, lovingly made by their owners who through no fault of their own have been consigned to quarters. We look at six of the very best inventions that have been displayed on line and elsewhere.

1. Furnished house for a Yorkie

This Yorkshire Terrier’s owners created a house and furnished it for him. Yorkies love to think of themselves as top dogs, and this one looks as proud as punch.

2. Catio. For a cat.

Play on words, and play on the idea of an indoor patio. This cat’s owners had time on their hands aplenty.

3. Doggy bridge

Clever and practical. This owner decided to build a doggy bridge over their garden pond.

4. Dog pool

With the weather getting hotter we could all do with a little soak now and then. This owner made the most of their downtime, and built a dog pool.

5. Cat theatre

Cats love to show off. This owner built a small stage for their cat. Performances aplenty must have made the lockdown seem all worthwhile.

6. Dog mask

We don’t advise making masks for dogs and cats, but for a bit of fun that is exactly what this person did.
