Me and my pet

Gymnasium 1, Slonim, Belarus

I have the nicest pet on the earth! It is a cat.We called him Ryzhik,because his fur is red and when he was little he looked like a mushroom - a saffron milk cap. Now he is 2. He is red and white with a long fluffy tail.We got Ryzhik by chance. Would you like to know how? ...One cold autumn evening I, my Mom, my brother and me were going home. Suddenly we saw something on the ground. It was a kitten.It was so pretty, with a red cap on his head, a red
tail-coat, a white shirt and white socks.When he noticed us he followed us keeping his tail straight up.He didn't run, he walked proudly. He didn't want to go away and entered our house as if he always lived there. We took him,warmed him,washed him and gave him milk. Now he is a member of our family,we adore him, he has his sleeping place,his plates and food. I look after Ryzhik with my brother.We give him milk,fish,meat and vitamines. He is greatful after his dinner and screws his eyes with delight very funny.I wash his plates and clean his sleeping place.At night he sleeps in a box.I put there some cotton wool to make his bed soft.When it is warm he likes to bask in the sun.Sometimes Ryzhik is very idle and sleepy and doesn't want to play.He only moves the end of his tail and opens his green eyes and asks
Don't touch me,please.'But usually he is very active.HIs character is calm and tender.He never scratches me. I think my pet understands me. When I am unhappy he sits on my knees and pats me with his head or licks my face and hands.I like to draw him and compose short poems about him.

My Cat
My pet is a cat.
His name is Red
His tail is long,
He sings his song.
He likes to eat
Very tasty meat.
He likes to be in the house
And catch a little grey mouse.

Maxim
I am happy to have a wonderful pet.I think you will like him too.His name is Maxim,but I call him Max for short.Max is 1 now,but I remember the day he was born. It was on the 24th of May 2000.He was so helpless.We couldn't take him from his mother till he was 2 weeks.Now Max is a beautiful,big and strong Angora cat.He has got shining long black fur,big green eyes,a long bushy tail,which he always holds straight up, and a pink nose.I love my pet and he loves me too.He always meets me at the door,when I come home from school and starts mewing as if he wants to tell me about his life without me (he hates to be alone).Every time he mews differently :happily, demanding,angrilly or merrily. I take him in my arms and he embraces me with his paws.Max is a real little rogue and likes to play tricks on my Mum. When she walks barefoot he bites her heels and gets crazy when she cries or runs away.Max is naughty,he likes to run straight up he walls or furniture. So we often see pieces of glass on the floor and the traces of his paws on our sofa or armchairs.I don't mind it, after all who would like to have a sleepy cat? Every cat has his faults, but my Mother gets angry. Max is very active and gay.He likes to play with different toys.His favourite toy is a doll, that can't lie Nevalyashka.It stands on the shelf but Max gets it and has a lot of fun with it. He jumps,turns somersaults and crawls around. I look after my pet myself.I read about cats' habits in a book.Max prefers fish,in the mor- ning he eats oatmeal porridge with milk.Max doesn't like soup even when he is hungry.I always sacrifice the best piece of meat for him.I take him out for a walk into the yard,comb his fur regularly. I like to take Max in my arms.When I hear his tender purring I forget all my problems.My life without him would be dull.

Kuzma
I have a pet. His name is Kuzma , but we call him Kuzya. Kuzya is not a blood cat. He is ordinary.But how beautiful he is! His fur is grey with symmetrical black stripes , that's why I sometimes call him 'tiger'. But the most important
decoration is a white shirt-front on his chest. My cat is very brave. When he was a kitten he killed a big rat and now he is the best at catching mice in our street. Kuzya is a real gourment. His favourite food is fish ,oatmeal porridge and milk. He doesn't forget about vitamines and eats sprout wheat with great pleasure. Kuzya is very tidy. He never makes a mess in the house. When he wants to go out he mews in a special way and I understand him. I think the most important thing about my cat is that he and I are great friends. I look after him, give him food and drink, clean him and he loves me and likes to play with me.
