My New Cat Cuty

By YM

One Spring day after school, I was sitting watching television in the sitting room. I was sitting right next to the phone when it suddenly rang. I picked it up and said, “Hello.”

“Hello.” A voice came back.

“Oh, Hi dad! How are you?”

My dad replied, “Fine. I am at the office, do you want to come?”

I asked mom if I could go with Annabelle and she said yes. We arrived at the first floor of Marrouche Restaurant. “Hi Bobs.” I sat down and started drawing. I drew different animals, one of them was a cat. Then I wrote a message for my dad. The message said, “Can we buy a new cat?” I showed it to him and he promised that when he finished his work he would take me to the pet store. I begged him, “Please, don’t tell mom!”

We went in the car to the pet shop. When we got inside we saw hairy cats, beautiful cats, skinny cats, small cats, big cats, and fat cats. There were stairs going down with more cats, but I didn’t go down because I saw the exact cat I wanted. He was sitting in a cage. His fur was fluffy, white, and soft. His eyes were like a mixture of colors together, green, brown, and olive colors. He was the most beautiful cat I’d ever seen.

My dad paid for him and we left the store. I was holding him tightly against my t-shirt. A dog walked by and he dug his claws into my t-shirt. My dad told me, “Hold on to him, don’t let him go down in the car.” I was really happy, but at the same time I was really worried that my mom wouldn’t like him.
