: Model Answer
I had a cat and its name was Tom. I loved it much for its nature. Tom was filled with soft fur and often I liked to touch the furs to get a soft feeling. Tom was a calm and quite pet and did not have any bad habits like the other pets in my area. This is a great candidate task card and I will answer the remaining part, in brief, to describe my pet
The most important thing about Tom is that it needed my complete attention. Besides, I used to feed it milk and other edible ingredients which were meant for cats. I noticed that if I did not pay attention to Tom, it used to come to me and screamed with a ‘meow’ sound and continued till I took it on my lap. It was polite and if I made some loud words, it would have hidden in the corner of the furniture
Tom was my beloved pet and I liked it too much for its gentle nature. I had heard that the other cats used to steal foods and create many troubles for the owners. But I was free of such troubles. When it needed food, Tom came to me and I understood that I need to feed my cat. I also taught Tom to use the toilet when it needed. The smart cat understood my instructions and also learned to use the toilet by itself. It was a grand success for me indeed
Of course, a cat is a popular pet to own. In fact, it becomes a constant companion of its owner and much better than dogs, I think. It requires less space to sleep and creates almost no troubles for the owners. Moreover, it has a pretty look as well
