Purrfect Cats For Miss McLeod
Did you know a cat’s purr is purrfectly soothing? I believe that after a busy day at school, there’s nothing better than coming home to a soothing cat purr. That’s why I think Miss McLeod should get a cat. Also because they don’t need lots of attention, no matter how far the go they always come back and they love it when you pat them.
One reason cats are great pets, because they don’t need much attention. They don’t need to walk them like dogs so you don’t need to get collars and leads. Also they will clean themselves. You can leave them for a long time so they are great if you work long hours. The only thing they will need is food. Did you know that if you have an outside fish pond they will drink from it?
Another great reason Miss McLeod should get a cat is that no matter how far they go they will always came back home. Cats love their homes. They might be gone all night they will come back home in the morning. When they find a present they will come back put it outside the house. They know their way around and they seem to know what time of day it is because when you come home they will be there, not far away.
Lastly they love it when you pat them. If they love you enough they will headbutt you and your face. If they are let in, and you are still in bed they will come in purring loudly. They purr lots when you pat them. They also like it when you brush them.
Overall I think Miss McLeod should get a cat because they don’t need much attention, No matter how far they go they will always come back home and they love it when you pat them. Run, don’t walk, to the closest pet store now before your purrfect companion gone forever!
