My cat
My cat has soft fur,
And loves to purr.
She can jump really high,
Way up into the sky.
She has a pair of blue eyes,
And likes to run after butterflies.
Sometimes she climbs a tall tree,
But never forgets to come back to me.
When I'm lonely, she's always there.
She can't speak, but does care.
When I need a friend or feel sad,
She is always by my side.

What animal would you like to have as a pet? Why?
Before getting a pet, I should consider my lifestyle. For example, if I'm very busy, a low - maintenance pet like a fish might be better. Also, I need to think about the cost of food, supplies, and veterinary care. And I should make sure there's enough space at home for the pet to move around comfortably.
2. What things should you think about before getting a pet?
1. Why do you think many people like to keep pets?
Many people like to have pets because they make great friends. Pets give love and stay loyal, which can help people feel less stressed and lonely. They also add happiness and fun to daily life.
