Becky
is 11 and wants to tell you about her pet cat.
Becky's
cat, Pumpkin
My
cat's name is Pumpkin. We called him Pumpkin because we got him
at Halloween. We got him from the Cat Protection League where they
used to call him Spitfire as he was a bit wild.
He
is about four years old and is very much a house cat. We open the
back door to let him out and he just sniffs the air and runs back
in.

We
feed him every day with dried cat food. Iams Lamb is his favourite.
He
spends most of the day sleeping or eating and at night we let him
down into the cellar so he can look for mice. He hasn't found one
yet but he often comes back up with his whiskers full of cobwebs.
When
we first got him he was very nervous and I remember taking him into
school for 'Show and Tell'. I told the teacher that he was very
shy and she let me go second after another girl demonstrated her
trumpet. He was quite upset.
