Some of my cats
This story is all about my new kitten, "White". He's about 3 months old already now. He has a sibling named, "Snow". When White was about a month old he got so sick that i thought he would die. Maybe he was sad because i had to go somewhere for a few days and when i came back he was so weak. He doesn't want to drink milk, teary eyed, not playful, and so not in good shape. I was so worried that i took him to the vet and asked for medication, white doesn't have fever but Snow does, so Snow got antibiotic for her fever. We went home and gave them the medication that the doctor gave, a hydrating powder. But then White was still getting weaker. He stayed in bed without moving for two days and two nights.
His eyes were dilated and his nose and mouth were dry. I was crying already but still giving him the medication every 4 hours even if i will wake up in the middle of the night. On the second night that he was really sick, i prepared a paper already just in case that he would be dead the moment i will be awake during the night. But surprisingly in the morning his tiny meow awakened me. And i was so happy seeing him walking groggily. I hugged him tight and cried. It's weird but my pets are giving me so much joy.
I felt being needed. Right now i have 21 cats including few kittens. They are my source of joy right now..They sleep in my bed and we would always play around the house...I hope that people realize that cats are kind animals and they should not be scared of them. Some cats are a little violent because they've experienced being maltreated. I hope people won't try to throw tiny kittens by the bushes close to the streets cause that will surely endanger the poor kittens, don't mistreat them that way..Have a heart....Cats deserve love..

A love for any animal is worthy. I believe this love and admiration for an animal is a good lesson for children. They learn how to care for a cat or dog and this extends to other living creatures. A child who is handicapped also blossoms when a cat or dog is introduced to them. It has been proven to be a therapeutic aid.
