Because of my kittens

My parents went to a pet store and found a black kitten.

“Oh he’s perfect” My mom exclaimed. So that’s how we got our first kitten the second one was a little different…

“I am getting you a kitten for you birthday!” My mom blurted out to her friend Vika.

“Okay then” She replied

When they got there my mom said “here” handing her the kitten.

“Oh this one id soooo cute I have to get it is orange and white stripes. It’s so playful and small.” She cooed so she came home with a new kitten.

When I was born I thought my cats were my older brother. I thought the claws and the fur started to get a little weird when I was 3-4.  One day I was stroking the cat’s long body when all of a sudden he scratched me! I got so scared.

“Aaaaahhh”

I ran away to my mom and she said, “He just doesn’t like it when you touch his butt at all” so I just got a sponge-bob band aid.

Me and my sister, Hannah picked our cats between us and I got the older one Hannah got the playful one for example…

“Come get it!” I exclaimed to my cat. He didn’t move an inch he just sat there like a rag doll.

“Come get the string!” Hannah sung then her cat came and pounced on the string. I started to get jealous but my mom said, “Your cat is wiser and has no time to play” I believed that for a second.

A couple months later Julian got really sick and I think he got kitty cancer but I’m not sure He got really sick. He started to turn white and He was so weak he couldn’t move they had to take pills which was really hard and the started to turn grey.

After Julian recovered we decided to move to Seattle because my dad got a job at Microsoft. We took the cats on the plane on our lap or by our feet. They   opened and closed their mouth like giant puppets that collapses. They sounded silent next to the plane engine.

When we got to Seattle it took a long time to get unpacked on New Year’s Eve our cat Julian looked really bad as in He was really grey and weak again we had to move him everywhere. At least he was still alive the next morning. Or so I thought…

The next morning my mom came to my bed and she said…

“Dad felt so bad for the cat he went to the animal ER and he had him put down”

WHAT?!??!?!”  I shrieked. I felt destroyed.

“I’m sorry” she said somberly. I turned around and wept into my pillow.

A couple months later Phoenix Hannah’s cat ran away. All of our friends say “oh he probably ran away to die” 

One day we went to Petco because our mom had a surprise. I was hoping for something good this time. When we got there we looked at all the animals and it smelled like brand new shoes and looked so clean it sparkled.

“Tada!” Mom exclaimed. There they were they were playing like little tiny puffs of joy chasing each other. The kittens were soooo cute!

“Oh my gosh!” I shouted

“Shshshshshshshshsh!!!” The manager shushed

“They are so cute!” I whispered

“They are for us if we want them” My mom replied

So me and Hannah played with the kittens in Petco it was so fun! And we decided to keep them! My dad didn’t know but e decided to surprise him!

We were in my mom’s walk in closet that was where they were living. It stunk but it was worth it. My dad came home from his work and…

“Surprise!”  I yelled He wasn’t too happy.

Epilogue:

Now we live with our two kittens and we love to pay with them. We picked kittens again I got the older one AGAIN!!! Kittens are important to me because they are like my older brothers or younger In this case and they remind me of CA because of the sun and they never let you down.
