Pet Den

The best cat on Earth

Most people keep pets for pleasure. There are many kinds of pets such as parrots, cats, dogs, mynas and squirrels.

My loving pet is a cat. He is white all over except for his snout which is pink. I call him Tiger.

He is rather well built and is smarter and more beautiful than other cats. He has a long tail which is also white, while his paws are very big and pink. He has very sharp eyes and sharp teeth.

I found Tiger as an abandoned kitten on the side of our road. I brought him up to be a good cat.

Tiger's favourite food is meat; fresh milk is his favourite drink. When he's eating, he wants a lot of meat. He is rather embarrassed when he does something bad, but not so when he's eating; he is very greedy. In every other area, he is very good and very clean; he has many good qualities. Tiger wants good and fresh cooked food at home, otherwise he won't eat. He won't eat trash or leftover food as some cats do.

He knows the time I come home from school and waits for me.

When I come home, he jumps at me and spoils my uniform. To send him away from me, I throw a tennis ball. Then he chases the ball until he catches it. He loves to play.

Tiger is very agile and very intelligent. He can run fast. If he sees other cats do answering a call of nature in our garden, he chases them away. Other cats fear my pet Tiger, while he's not scared of any of them, even people. I think Tiger is the best cat in the whole world.Tiger is in my list of favourites and I love him just as much as I love my parents.
