Contoh:
My cat zedva
Zedva is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and
grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw
with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to
his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and
growing fat.
He enjoys movie in Television , especially chanel those for
vichanel and cinemas 24. almost every day of my cat zedva Always watch
television, after the feed and Sometimes he ate while watching television.
Zedva is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats,
befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle,
begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite
trousers. Zedva does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat
experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends.
After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and
smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive
him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.
