Last year I kept a big cat in my mother’s shop. She was yellow and very lovely, because she was very beautiful with two big eyes.

Every day, when I came back home from school, I went to carry her in my arms. Then, I put she on my legs, and she slept there. She always went to the toilet to pee and poo, so she was very clean. In addition, she always accompanied me when my parents were not at home, so I loved her very much.

Last May she gave birth to eight babies that were very cute. She did not allow us to touch her babies and when I went towards them, she used her claws to drive me away. She loved her babies so much that she spent a long time cleaning them with her tongue very carefully one by one every day.

After some time, my father gave six little cats to his friends. The mother cat became very sad and ate little food. I was very angry with my father because of it.

Later, my family went back to our hometown for the Chinese Lunar New Year, and we left the mother cat and her two babies in the shop. When we went back Guangzhou, we couldn’t find the cats. We looked for them. Finally we found the mother cat and a baby cat in the warehouse, but the other small cat was missing. My father gave the baby cat to his friend. Finally the mother cat was so angry that she left the shop. I felt very sorry for her and I hated what my father had done to the cats.

Although a few months have passed, I miss my cats so much that I often think of them. Whenever I think of them, I become very sad.
