I have a pet cat. My cat’s name is Tom. Tom is very fluffy and soft. He has a little pink nose and big green eyes.

Tom loves to play with his toys. He likes to chase a small ball and jump in the air. When he catches the ball, he feels very happy.

Tom also loves to cuddle with me. Every day, I give Tom food and water. When he eats, he purrs and wags his tail.

At night, Tom sleeps next to me. I love Tom, and he is my best friend. Tom makes me happy every day!
