CATS

Cats are incredible animals. There are many kinds of cats in the world. Some cats like lions and tigers weigh more than two hundred pounds. Housecats weigh twenty pounds or less. Even though cats are different sizes, they have several things in common. First, they all have whiskers. Whiskers are one of the neatest parts of the cat. They help the cat know how much space it has around it. Second, cats have fur. The fur can be many different colors. I think striped cats look the best. Third, cats have tails. It is fun to watch a cat chase its tail. These are just some of the things that make cats interesting animals. You should get a cat. They make the best pets!
