These are the last five animals to make it through into our Cute Pets final.

Flick through the pictures above to see what we chose as our favourites from the third and final heat – the ‘other’ category for any pets that aren’t cats or dogs.

These five furry and scaly friends will now join 20 cats and dogs previously selected for the final of our Cute Pets photo competition, which will begin later this week.

Thanks to everyone who has entered a pet into the contest or who has looked through our galleries over the past few weeks – we hope you stick around to cast your vote in the final and help decide the overall winner.
