It was a hard fight to secure last week's winners, but here we are with another round full of pups and at last, a cat!

In this second round, two animals will be voted on by readers to go to next week's final, with the exciting possibility of becoming September's Pet of The Month.

Scroll down to vote

For those new to the game, every month we will be choosing eight animals across Kent for readers to explore the lives of and vote on who will be Kent's Pet of the Month.

Every week readers will vote on pairs of animals to go to the next round until only one remains.

If you're interested in entering next month's round for September, email details about your pet (such as pictures, name, breed, age and fun stories) to mcarr@thekmgroup.co.uk

Head-to-Head #1

Jimmy the cocker King Charles cross

Jimmy is a 12-year-old cocker King Charles cross who loves to chase squirrels in the garden.

His family brought him when he was just eight weeks-old, although he still acts like a pup he does forget he can’t run as fast as he used too!

Jimmy's family say he listens like a human when your talking to him and if you give him a piece of ham, he will literally do anything.

His favourite toy is his honky pig, and every time his owners buy him a new one he bites the honker and stuffing out of them without fail.

Jimmy is his family's best friend.

Cleo the indoor cat

Cleo the indoor cat is turning five years old this month.

The birthday girl loves nothing more than to snuggle up on a cushion and is also known to roll on her back to demand a belly rub.

Like her owners, she loves her beauty sleep and eating food.

This indoor cat also enjoys a good pamper when her mum and dad groom her with her favourite brush.

Head-to-Head #2

Joe the border collie

Joe is an 11-year-old border collie who loves football and chilling in the garden, no matter what the weather.

Fluffy and full of love, Joe brings a smile to everyone he meets, enjoying pets from strangers and family.

Due to his old age Joe was recently diagnosed with diabetes, sadly one of his symptoms included him becoming blind.

However, this hasn't stopped the pooch from playing his favourite games!

Joe is very smart and knows all of his toys by name, despite his poor eye sight he is still a master at fetch and is able to retrieve his teddies with no problem.

The collie is obsessed with helicopters and despite not being able to see them he looks to the sky and barks when one flies over head.

His owner jokes that he probably wouldn't know what to do with himself if he caught one!

Joe loves the outside and although he has his creature comforts indoors he'd rather sit in the garden all day hiding under his owners plants in a massive hole he's dug.

The old dog will be turning 12 in December and is looking forward to many Christmas treats.

Alto the cocker spaniel

Alto is a black and tan cocker spaniel who is 12-weeks-old.

The pup is still trying to soften the heart of Lucca, his six-year-old cocker spaniel brother by sitting in his bed or biting his ears!

Alto loves nothing more than snoozes with his favourite cuddly toys or trying to help his owner with the washing.

His owner says it makes up for the sleepless nights and never ending toilet training!
