I am very fond of animals. I love looking after them because they give me only pleasant and positive emotions. And quite often they behave better than a lot of human beings.

I think it’s very important to have a pet at home. And it doesn’t matter what kind of animal it is. The most popular pets in our flats are cats, dogs, fish, parrots, turtles, mice and hamsters. I admit that I am lucky because my parents love animals too and I’ve always had a pet since my childhood. I am absolutely sure that cats and dogs have souls. We prefer cats because our flat is a bit small for keeping a dog and we don’t have to walk it 2 or 3 times a day. The famous psychologist Sigmund Freud said: “Time spent with cats is never wasted.” I find cats very mysterious, intelligent and independent animals. Probably that is why in ancient times cats were worshiped as gods.

Now we have a cat. It is a non-pedigree cat. His name is Persik and he is 6 years old. We found him as a little hungry kitten in our schoolyard. Persik has got reddish-beige coat, amber eyes and a striped tail. My cat isn’t very fluffy but his coat is thick, soft and silky. I really enjoy stroking him and Persik starts purring with pleasure in return. His character is admirable and very calm. Noisy games are not his cup of tea, although sometimes my pet plays with a ball or a toy-mouse. Persik's favorite food is fish, sausage and milk porridge. And his favorite pastime is lying on the window-sill and watching different birds outside. He doesn’t like staying alone and I think he misses us because when we come home he is already waiting for us at the door, says “mew” and happily wags his tail.

I cannot understand how people can live without pets. My pet is full of love and gratitude. He is quite funny, smart and often makes me smile. He is never busy and is always ready to play with me or roll himself into a warm ball on my lap and fall asleep.

We prefer to have cats as our apartment is a bit small for a dog and we don't need to walk it 2-3 times a day. The famous psychologist Sigmund Freud said: "The time spent with a cat is never lost." I consider cats to be very mysterious, intelligent and independent animals. Perhaps that is why in ancient times they were worshiped as goddesses.

We now have a cat. She is a mongrel. His name is Peach and he is 6 years old. We found him as a little hungry kitten in our schoolyard. Peach has reddish-beige fur, amber eyes and a striped tail. My cat is not very fluffy, but her coat is thick, soft and silky. I really love to stroke him, and Peach begins to purr in response with pleasure. He has a very sweet and calm personality.

Topic My Pet

My name is Valerie. I "m fourteen years old. I always dreamed of having any domestic animal.

When I was twelve my parents gave me a cat for my birthday. I was very glad and my cat was named Cadet. Now very small and fluffy kitten ran in my house. It was white with little dark gray wafers stuck all over it. Its ears and legs were half black. The color of its eyes varied with mood. Best of all it liked to play with paper mouse.

Cadet liked to drink milk and to eat sausage. Every evening Cadet sat on my knees and purred. Its purr was like a cradle song. It is two years old already but it is still tender as it was before. It likes very much when I flatter it. I became very attached to it and I love it very much.

My pet

My name is Valerie. I am 14 years old. I have always dreamed that I would have some kind of pet.

When I was 12 years old, my parents gave me a cat for my birthday. I was very happy and named him Cadet. Now a very small and fluffy kitten was running around the house. He was white with small dark gray spots all over his body. The ears and legs were half black. His eye color changed depending on his mood. The most interesting activity for him was playing with a paper mouse.

The cadet was very fond of drinking milk and eating sausage. Every evening the Cadet would sit on my lap and purr. His purr sounded like a lullaby. My cat is already two years old, but he remains just as affectionate. He really likes it when I stroke him. I am very attached to my cat and love him very much.

Topic: Domestic Animals

Theme: Pets

Only about three dozen out of over two thousand animal spices inhabiting our planet are domesticated animals. Domestic animals are not only pets that live in our flats or houses, and are human friends. This group also includes livestock that lives on farms and brings certain profit to people. And sometimes poultry such as hens, turkeys or ducks is referred to domestic animals as well.

Only about three dozen out of more than two thousand species of animals that inhabit our planet are domesticated. Pets are not only pets that live in our apartments and houses and are human friends. This group also includes livestock that live on farms and provide some benefit to people. And sometimes poultry - chickens, turkeys, ducks are also referred to as domestic animals.

Probably, most people speaking about domestic animals, first of all, mean their pets - cats, lap dogs, hamsters, turtles, parrots and so on. These animals are usually useless, and people keep them just for their own pleasure. Sometimes people have in their homes more exotic animals - rats, ferrets, and even reptiles and small crocodiles. But, to my mind, it's not a good idea to keep snakes at home. They will hardly ever see you as friends, and meanwhile they are dangerous. As for me, the only pet I have is a white angora cat Angela. It is very fluffy. I brought it home when it was just two months old. Then it was a small and playful kitten. Now it has turned into a serious five year-old cat, which spends most of the day sleeping on the sofa.

She has now become a serious five-year-old cat that spends most of the day lying on the couch.

Apart from pets, there is another category of domestic animals. It involves animals that are kept on farms or in paddocks and bring profit to people. This profit can be expressed in the form of food and non-food products (milk, meat, eggs, wool, feather and so on), or in the form of work force (transportation of goods, plowing or hunting, if we speak about hunting dogs). Of course, these animals are more typical for rural districts, not for cities. In our country farmers usually breed such animals as cows, sheep, pigs, goats and horses. But in foreign countries people use camels, elephants, yaks, donkeys as domestic animals.

Apart from pets, there is another category of pets. It includes animals that are kept on farms or in pens and are of benefit to humans. These benefits can be expressed in the form of food and non-food products (milk, meat, eggs, wool, feathers, etc.) or in the form of labor (transporting goods, plowing or hunting for hunting dogs). Of course, these animals are more typical of the countryside than the city. In our country, farmers usually breed animals such as cows, sheep, pigs, goats and horses. But in other countries people use camels, elephants, yaks, donkeys as pets.

Unfortunately, I live in the city, not in the countryside, so, I cannot keep any big animals. Sometimes I think that if I lived in a big private house instead of a flat, I would have a horse. In my opinion, the horse is one of the cleverest and the most beautiful animals in the world. Horses can understand people as well as dogs; they love their masters, and they are faithful friends for

I think it is very important to have a pet at home. And it absolutely does not matter, what kind of animal it is. It can be: a cat, a dog, a hamster, a parrot or even a gold fish.

Cats and dogs are the most popular pets in many countries. People who live in flats prefer to keep cats, because there is no need to walk them every day. Cats are very compact animals, they like to lie on people’s laps and even in beds. I love cats because they are warm and fluffy. Cats let us stroke them and often purr with pleasure. For me cats are the most incredible and mystic animals.

Dogs are a man "s best friends and that is the fact. Dogs are extremely clever and understand everything you tell them. Though keeping a dog in a flat is a bit of a problem, because you need to walk it two or three times a day. And this takes some time.

Another problem is that our flats are relatively small even for not big dogs. And do not forget that dogs have a specific smell. But these are no real problems when you really love dogs. Dogs are wonderful animals. I am absolutely sure that cats and dogs have human souls.

In eastern countries cats and dogs are exotic pets. People there mostly keep birds. These birds are usually smaller than parrots. People live in tiny flats and houses and there is simply not enough room to place a big cage. As for me, I love big birds and parrots.

Another reason for keeping birds is that cities in eastern countries are overpopulated, so there are not enough parks and squares. And do not forget, that Asian people can use cats and dogs as food!

Personally I do not understand when people keep small fishes. What is the point in all this? Fish do not speak. You cannot touch it. Well there are big beautiful fishes that are at least pleasant to look at. Keeping fish is a very difficult and money demanding process. Without paying all the necessary attention to your fish they can soon die.

People usually keep hamsters, rabbits, rats and mice to teach their children to communicate with animals. Besides, these animals are rather easy to look after. These animals are funny, but all they do is eating and multiplying.

It is very interesting when somebody has exotic pets, such as spiders, cockroaches, snakes and frogs. But one has got to be a real professional. Otherwise the animals will die or do harm to somebody. I would choose to keep frogs. I think them really nice. And some frogs have beautiful voices.

So, you can choose any pet. But you just must love it! I cannot understand how people can live without pets.
