Cats Make The Best Pets

This term we are learning to write persuasions (persuasive text).  This is our first shared writing for Term 3.  Each day we will add some more as we finish editing and publishing it.

I think a cat would make the best pet for me.

Firstly cats are very cute.  When you come home from work or school and see you your cat they make you feel good inside. Cats are cute so you look forward to seeing them when you come back home.

Secondly cats are active.  It is wonderful cats are active because if a dog was chasing it, the cat can jump up somewhere high like a tree or a fence to be safe from a dog.  This will save you getting sad from your cat having an unfortunate accident.  Cats are active so this makes them ideal pets to play with.  Their playful antics are highly entertaining and joyful to watch - better than T.V!

Finally cats are warm and soft so you can snuggle and cuddle with them. When they purr they make you feel happy on the inside. Also because they are warm and soft they can keep themselves warm in winter, saving them from freezing to death and money on heating.

I feel I need a pet.  A cat would make the best pet for me because they are cute, active, soft and warm.
