My favourite animal is cats. They are usually small with soft fur. Most of them are orange, black or grey. They have sharp claws and big, bright eyes. Cats are good at climbing and jumping. They can catch mice. They can also move quietly. It’s so amazing. I love them because they are cute and playful.They are gentle and lovely, always bringing warmth to our lives.
