Cats

My name is Amanda and I love Cats. I have two cats.

Pammy is gray and has lots of fur.
I have had Pammy for six years since I was 1 1/2 years old. I love Pammy because she keeps me warm and she is loving to me.

My other cat is named Ginger.
Ginger is a "calico". She is four years old. I love Ginger because she loves to purr and snuggle with me. Let me tell the story of how Ginger came to live with us. When I was in preschool my mom was on the fundraising committee for my school. She went to a Veterinarian clinic to ask for donations for the school's auction. They gave her Ginger. Since the auction was over three weeks away we became very attached to her. So we out bid everyone.
Both of my cats are outside cats. Sometimes when it is very cold we let them in the house. An outdoor cat has an average life expectancy of two to three years. The average life expectancy of an indoor cat is about 15 years. Like other members of the family Felidae, my cats also love to catch mice and birds.

The cat's whiskers are very sensitive. They are used for testing obstacles and sensing changes in the world we live in. A cat may use its whiskers to feel its way when it is dark.
Taking care of cats and pets is very important.
Every morning before school I feed my cats. I have put a blanket on the porch for them to sleep on. Sometimes I brush their fur. I do not have to give them a bath because they clean themselves with their tongues.

Our cats have had all of their shots so they will not get sick. They have also been spayed so they can not have any babies. This is a good idea so unwanted animals do not have to go to the Humane Society or run wild.
