A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...

Here is a picture of my cat named Mia. I chose this picture because I am a huge animal lover. My grandfather used to always never like cats, but with Mia it is different. Last winter on my way home from school, my grandfather was telling me how he had saved this beautiful cat from a tree, and how the cat was scared and ran off, no where to be found. A couple of weeks later, my grandmother had gone outside in the backyard and she heard this cat meowing, sure enough, it was the exact same cat, my grandma fed her, and she soon became our pet. I find that everything about this cat is wonderful, just the way she walks, pounces on things, and she loves to play with paper bags! At first I always thought that maybe she would scratch me or bite me if I tried to pick her up, but she was always gentle. She even got along with my dogs right away, and they have never seen a cat before. Mia also loves to drink out of the tap, and sometimes she will just sit and stare at it, because she likes the way the water flows from it. Sometimes I will open up the door and there will be a dead bird outside on the ground, I heard that this is a present that cats like to leave for their owners, gross! We have had her for a whole year now, and it is amazing how she has gone from being a wild cat, to living in our house, and now being called our cat. Mia is a one of a kind!
