Tom
A pet is an animal kept in a house as a friend. There are so many pets in the
world which include monkeys, parrots, dogs, fish and a host of others.
The name of my pet is Tom. It is a cat. Tom came into my family during
a stormy night when I was sent by my father to buy bread for breakfast.
That time it was very young so it could not easily find its way home.
So I took it to my house. When my father saw the poor kitten, he was
amazed and my family liked it too.
Tom is a healthy cat because I feed it well. Its favourite food is milk.
But at times we give it fish. It sleeps in a basket near my bed, in it
is a small pillow on which it sleeps. Sometimes when I wake up I find
it sleeping beside me on my bed. Sometimes we play football.One
day when Tom came from outside, it was hurt badly on the right leg, so my father
rushed it to the veterenary office, where it was kept for some time.
This made it very sad. When it was discharged , it was very happy
because it had not drunk milk or eaten any delicious food since it wasadmitted at
the hospital.
Tom has been very helpful to me, apart from keeping watch over our house
everynight, it has also caught and killed all the mice which were earlier on
destroying our items.
I have not regretted taking Tom as my pet because of the numerous benefits I derive from
it.
