Me and my pet

School 55, Kharkov

Simba
I love animals that is why I want to take part in your project. My name is Kiril. I study at school number 55. I am puple of 6-B class. I am 11 years old.
I like animals. Big and small. But like cats Best of all. Of course, I want to tell you about my pet. He is the big fat white-brown cat. His name is Simba. He likes to look through the window and to warm at the heater. He likes to play with his friend-dog Zola. Zola thinks that Simba is her baby. She lisks him. Simba does not like to wash, he cries with all his might. Simba does not go for a walk. He likes very much my mother, because she gives him food. Often I play with him. I like these moments.

RITA
Our cat gave birth to kittens on the six of August in 1998. Two kittens were white with black specks, and one white-red-black. I could`t find the kittens for a long time. But two weeks later, tracing my cat, I got into garret. Murka (the mother of the kittens) had hidden her babies in a hole in the hay. Then I put my hand into the hole and felt, that one of the kittens
climed on my palm. I got it out. It was my future pet. It was so quiet and it slept on my hands.
When it was time to come to the city, I persuaded my parents to take Rita with us. My grandmother didn`t like cats, but then, our kitten attracted her, she loved it very much. Once I wanted to play with Rita and I decided to teach her to play hideand-seek. Hiding from her I showed Rita how to play. The kitten began to hide in the place where previously was I. We used to play so every day. We like it very much. So it happened once my mother was likely to be late for her job. She has forgotten winol the alarm clock. But Rita came and began to pull mother`s lags. So we have our kitten instead of an alarm clock. More of it Rita doesn`t like loud speaking. Being on the hands of the person speaking loudly, she puts her paw on his mouth. When I dissapoinded she comes to me and bites me slightly by my elbow begins to play with my hands. I like Rita very much.
