cute. His body is fat. He has black and white fur.
I really love to cuddle him because his fur feels soft. Every morning my mother gives a fish,
sometime he usually scratches out my arm when I play with him. He is an active animal. He
likes to run around the house. When he feels tired or sleepy, he usually sleeps on the sofa in
the living room or sometime under the table. “Boba” often goes out to find for food at night.
And sometime he brings a mouse on his mouth. Then he eats the mouse in the back of my
house for himself.
