Singapore's Thekchen Choling temple has thrown open its doors to pets in honour of the holy day of Vesak, a festival of great significance in the Buddhist faith.
It commemorates Buddha's birth, enlightenment and his passing.
According to the temple's spiritual director, Singha Rinproche, welcoming the animals and having them blessed is a reflection of Buddha's compassion for all Earth's creatures.
Since reincarnation, one of Buddhism's key tenets, relates to animals and people alike, one's pet might be reincarnated in human form.
What's particularly valuable to Dennis Yee, owner of cat Blackie, is the concept of gaining 'merits' for positive behaviour.
So we like to accumulate merit for, for my pets, so that in future he may be, he may be, become a human just like us and not be an animal."
Furry animals of the feline and canine variety weren't the only guests, with rabbits and guinea pigs also in attendance, alongside an assortment of crustaceans and reptiles.
And now that she has warm up to us, we feel that adopting to being blessed together with us in a Vesak Day even will bring all of us closer."
Devotees grabbed opportunities for photographic mementos with their beloved pets, with some going so far as creating pawprints to record the occasion, while worshippers also seized the chance to make candle offerings in the temple - light is symbolic of hope and offerings can be auspicious for a pet.
Because in - we believe that even a pet will become a Buddha one day."
