My favorite animal(essay2)







My favorite animal is cat. I don’t have cats as a pet but I have liked them since I was a child. Cats have big eyes and small head so cats are very cute! Cats’ behaviors are also cute. Now, I will tell you about the cats. I wish my essay would help you to like cats.
First, I will tell you about cats of every variety. Cats contain a lot of forms of cats. For example, there are tortoise shell cats, Persian cats and Siamese cats in the world. Above all, Munchkins, American Shorthairs and Russian Blue are popular in Japan. Munchkins were discovered in America and Germany. They fell with a freak of nature. Their legs are short and their tail is straight. Munchkins are always curious. American Shorthair’s a country of origin is America. Their hairs are short and their natures are cheerful and friendly. Russian Blue is from Russian. Their hairs are also short. They have green eyes. Their nature is obedient.
Next, I will tell you about cats’ feeling. Generally speaking, we can know cats’ feeling from the movement of their tail. For example, a cat is in relative a good humor when the cat holds up one’s tail. When a cat catches one’s tail between one’s hind legs, the cat mostly scares. The cat also scares when the cat lays his ears behind. When a cat wraps one’s tail around something or person’s body, the cat has a great affection for the object. By the way, in general, a dog is in a good humor when the dog waggled its tail. In this case, cat is not in good humor! When a cat waggled one’s tail, the cat is usually dissatisfy. If a cat puffs out one’s body, you should be careful. Cats almost are browbeating or amazing when the cats puff out their body. The Cats browbeat in particular, when they bristle up.
Finally, I want to tell you about foods which cats have. I have to advise you about cat food because there are a lot of foods which injure cats’ health in general households. For example, chocolate injure cats’ health because some chocolates have a bad influence upon their kidney and liver. By the way, almost people have an image what cats like fish but all fish is good for the cats. If you feed a cat on cuttlefishes, octopuses, shrimps and crabs, the life of a cat will shorten. You also have not feed a cat on abalones and turban shell. If you give a cat them, the cat’s ears will decay and be lost. As you can see, a lot of foods injure cat’s health so you should be careful every time. Above all, you have to caution of giving a cat plant of the lily family. The plants of the lily family are some lily, some onion and so on. If a cat eats them, it will die because the plant of the lily family has a poison which is an injury to cat’s health. (504words)
