Kesha
I'm going to tell you about my pet.It's a black cat with a beautiful
"necktie".We,all members of our family , call him Kesha,but he usually ignores
this name.It happened so that Kesha came to our country house garden when we were visiting
it.It was such a pity to let the cat stay in there for winter,so my Mum took him to our
flat.That's why Kesha has been staying with us since November,1998.
In my opinion he has got an awful temper and it is very difficult to communicate with
him.But I found the way to bring him up:if he behaved bad he would have a walk outdoors
for 15-20 minutes.Then he would be quiet.Sometimes he begins to play with his toys,but
then he starts "playing" with your legs or arms, it hurts.So after that he has
some time to think over his behaviour in the bathroom.
He is peaceful and quiet after meals,then he is not angry and does not attack us.He sleeps
then in an armchair.Kesha is forbidden to visit my room as he makes complete disorder in
it.I'm glad that he was not sick,so he did not have to visit a vet. But he was made
sterialization,I think it was the saddest moment in his life.
As a matter of a fact I didn't want to take a cat as a pet,I always dreamed about a dog.If
I have a chance I would take a dog. I heard a dog and a cat wouldn't fight each other if
they lived together since one's birth.So my puppy and my cat would have a chance to leave
in peace in our family.
