My favourite animal is a cat named BBQ. He is my godfather’s pet, and he is only one year old.
BBQ is brown and white. He has a little head, two round blue eyes, and a long, soft, furry tail that I love to touch. He has sharp claws, so my godfather needs to trim them regularly.
BBQ likes cleaning himself and eating fish. I love to play hide-and-seek with BBQ whenever I visit my godfather. BBQ is very friendly with me, and I have a lot of fun playing with him. Having a pet is a lifelong promise, and we should take good care of them.

A recent issue of Posties featured a story about cute fluffy dogs that provide therapy through an NGO called Animals Asia. Dogs are so smart that they can even help children and the elderly. This is a very meaningful story!
I have dogs, too, and I love them. They make my heart melt when I see them. I feel so happy when I pet their fluffy fur. My grandparents and auntie also have dogs who can do tricks like sit, stand, spin and give their left and right paws. I wonder if our dogs are as smart as the ones at Animals Asia. I wish they could provide therapy to help people.

My favourite animal is the cat. It is a common pet, and many people love them.
Cats aren’t the most social with strangers, and when people try to pick them up or touch them, they often hiss and bite the person in self-defence.
People don’t like them for that and assume that the cat is aggressive, but they don’t realise they need to earn a cat’s trust. It’s best to let a cat sniff your hand and let them come to you when they feel like it. Earning a cat’s trust is the best feeling ever.
