ME AND MY SHADOW: This week's Star Pet is ten-year-old rescue cat Poppy. Owner Sean Ingram, from Clacton, said: "She follows me everywhere. She loves to have a cuddle and always comes and lays with me when I go to bed. I would be really lost without her as she always greets me after work. She is such a loving cat and a great companion." Send your Star Pets to cf.gazette@newsquest.co.uk, with your name, address and why you love them.
