I’m going to tell you about my pet

I’m going to tell you about my pet cat Montague – he’s practically a member of my family – I’ve always had cats and I suppose I’m slightly silly about them.
He’s just a common or garden cat – a moggy – not a special breed or anything like that. Though his colouring is rather special. He’s all white but has a ginger tail and ginger ears and another patch on his body. He looks as if he might be a pedigree cat and some people have asked. But as I was saying he’s quite common really.
He’s an inside cat. I’d love to let him outside and roam but we live fairly near a road and it just isn’t safe. It’d break my heart if anything happened to him – you know if he was run over. You might laugh at this but I do sometimes take him outside for a walk – on a lead – just as you would with a dog. I don’t take him out onto the road – just into the back garden so that he can chew on the grass – that’s one of his great loves.
What does he eat? Until very recently he only ate chicken. Our vet diagnosed him as being intolerant of any form of cat food – he was being sick all the time. So I used to cook chicken for him 3 times a day! But I’m pleased to say that he is now back on a regular diet as we’ve found a prescription cat food that he can tolerate.
You want to know why I love him? It’s hard to explain. He’s just a member of the family now. And I love him just like I would a person.
