Feline Friends

Did you know that the cat’s purr can heal broken bones and muscles?! That is one reason why Miss McLeod should purchase a cat, soon she’ll be feline fine!!! (because cats reduce cancer levels by ⅓(pun fully intended).). They can also do amazing tricks, can walk themselves, and they are as stealthy as a ninja in the dark, starless night without the lunar moon.

Did you know… that cats can do amazing tricks? For one, you can teach them to stand up on their two back legs and reach out for something. How will you teach your cats to do this? Well, you can do this by holding a piece of cat food a bit higher than the cat’s height and the cat might stand up to get the food! Another trick that a cat could do is that they could open doors so that instead of buying a cat door and buying a new door along with it, they can simply open your door to get inside!

Another amazing reason … is that they can walk themselves instead of having to have a leash. This also means less equipment! Cats have great balance so that they can balance on of steep rooftops and on top of meter-tall fences. If your cat run away from you, for example in an earthquake, do not worry! Your cat will come back to you!

Did You Know... Cats are really stealthy, stealthy as a ninja, stealthier than a ninja wearing black sneaking around on the darkest night. One reason why, is that they take up less space and are light, which means that cats can jump over a meter! Cats can come in the colour black. This means that black cats can camouflage into the night like they never existed on the whole earth!

Overall,  I think that Miss Mcleod should buy a black cat because they are stealthy, can walk themselves and they can do awesome tricks! So go to your nearest pet-shop, buy a black cat (these do not mean bad luck), and return to your destined area, try to do this in precisely 165 seconds, and I guarantee that you will have less chance of getting a cat-astrophic cat than a disastrous dog.
