OUR pet of the week is four-year-old rescue cat Dave.

He lives with owner Jackie Jones on Westleigh Lane, Leigh, having been bought from a pre-loved animal website two years ago.

Gran-of-four Jackie, 47, named him after her favourite Minions character Dave and says he is a ‘huge part of the family’.

“Dave is such a lovely cat and constantly follows me everywhere,” she added.

“I always wanted a cat after having them as a child, so when I got a new job and could work from home I decided to add a new addition to the family.

“I immediately fell in love with Dave.

“He is really lazy and weighs a stone, so he is a big boy, but he is great with the grandchildren.”
