Cats

Cats are good pets. They are clean and quiet. They can live in towns or in the country.

Cats like milk, and they need water, too. They cannot eat vegetables or bread. They need meat or fish. Some people buy packets or tins of cat food for their pets.

Some cats are very beautiful. This is a Persian cat. His hair is very long and fluffy.

numbers in a notebook. Towser cau t 23,000 mice!
