A cat owner who spoils her three pets has shared how they each have their own miniature pieces of furniture in her house - including a vintage chaise lounge that they love to relax on.
Sally St. Rose, 33, is the proud owner of three Sphynx cats named Georgey, Lincoln Log, and Raymond, after she adopted them all as rescue cats and has made sure they now live the life of luxury with her at her home in Virginia, USA.
The artist and graphic designer says her cats live like royalty with her and describes them as "distinguished gentlemen" who even know how to do tricks such as sit and high-five.
Sally said: "They are such loving cats. I used to work at an animal shelter and that's where fell in love with the breed.

"When I was at an antique store, I came across this really small vintage chaise lounge but I knew I didn't need it so I left it, but I then went back and bought it for the cats, they all sat on it straight away. I then went back and saw a tiny chair and snapped it up quickly and immediately Lincoln sat on it.
"My house is decorated with vintage furniture from street and barn sales as I love the look of the carved ornate wood. Their furniture fits in with mine.
"I know how to sew and upholster as I did performing arts, so I've made them a giant Elizabethan collar each which they sit with them on now.
"I would say they are all very distinguished gentlemen. They sit very well and they are very smart, Lincoln Log knows commands such as sit, high-five and wait."
The woman has even given her pets their own bedroom, as well as several nooks around the house where they can sleep and snuggle up among the "fluffy blankets" she has laid out for them.
And Sally says taking care of her cats is a "full-time job", as they all have "different medical complications" that require attention, as well as the day-to-day upkeep of looking after three hairless moggies.
She added: "I have very strong bond with them, they love to be cuddled and they thrive on human interaction. I nickname them the Velcro kitties.
"They even have their own bedroom at home, but I've also created little nooks around the house where the sun comes through as they absolutely love the sun, I have also put around lots of fluffy blankets where they sleep too so it's extra comfy.
"I have also put beds that are connected to the windows so they can lay in the sunshine.
"They need to be bathed regularly as they have no fur so they get really greasy as well as getting dirty and sweaty. They get a brown build up so they need to be scrubbed and cleaned, they require a lot of work but I love them.
"My husband loves them, when we first got together he told me he wasn't a cat person and I told him we couldn't be together, but he fell in love with them as soon as he met them.
"I would say it is like a full-time job, even with their food they all have different needs as they all have different medical complications. It's now like a well-oiled machine, everything runs smoothly."
And Sally believes her cats are well aware that they're "royalty" within her home, as she referred to herself as a "full-time cat mum".
She said: "They know they are royalty. They bring a lot of joy to my life so I give it back to them.
"There is so much personality and character from each cat. They will let you know what they want as they are very vocal.
"I don't have children as I don't choose to, I choose to have my cats. I am a full-time cat mum but wouldn't have it any other way, they inspire lots of artwork as well, I base a lot on them.
"I don't think having children would suit me, it's never been for me, so having cats are perfect, they want and need my attention but I can still live my own life.
"If I didn't have them I would have a nice savings account, but I wouldn't have the joy they bring me."
