If you've been told you can't have a pet for Christmas, but still want one, the RSPCA may have a virtual solution.
They've created a special Cyberpet on their website that you can adopt and then look after, just like a real one.
You have to log on to feed it, play with it and even take it to the vet, but if you don't treat it well enough the RSPCA could take it away from you.
There's even a cyberpettery to book your new pal into during your holidays - just don't forget they're there!
