Cat

I would like to write about pet today since we are talking about animals in the class this week. I only had one pet so far in my life and it was a cat. I named my cat "short tail" because her tail was shorter than other cats. I remember I got her form one of my parents' friends when I was about 9 years old. Short tail was born only one month when I got her, she still a baby at that time..I remember she was afeard of people at the first week in our house and she didn't eat a lot. I guess she missed her mom. However, we became friends soon. I played with her every time I was at home and for me she was a playful kid...Short tail acted like a dog, she followed me to school every monring and she seem to know when I would get off from school and waited for me in the doorway. She would sleep with me in the winter time, but she never went to the head of the bed instead of that she always went to the back of the bed.Also, she liked to play with mice and birds. She caught a lot of mice, but she never killed them right the way and she liked to play with them. She would let the mouse go and then catch it back and let it go and then catch it back. She would play with the mouse until it die...She had her first birth after three years in my house and there were five babies cats..Our family felt happy about her, but the nightmare came after her babies were born. She ate the posion (someone put it somewhere for the mice) by accident and then she died two days after that . We tried so hard to try to save her, but it was unsuccessful. I was so sad and I couldn't control my tears when I was in my bed that night.Also, we had to face another problem after short tail died and the problem was her babies. They were born only two weeks when their mother died and their eyes were not even open at that time. We had to save them and we fed them with milk for more then three weeks( I didn't remember the exact number). Unfortunately two of them were died during that three weeks and three of them were alive. I felt sorry for short tail that I couldn't save all of her babies. We gave all of her babies(three) to our friends because I didn't want pet anymore...It was so bad to watch you pet pass away and I didn't want to have the feeling again.
