My new pet
(Sent by Celina Torres, a student from Guadalajara, Mexico)

I'm happy with my new pet, it's a little kitten. It has the most enormous eyes that I've seen and, its tender way to see is really beautiful...

Let me talk a little about myself. I used to hate cats because the house were I used to live was full of these lovely animals. Everything smelled awful and the cats hair was everywhere. I used to live in that place 10 years ago and I promised to myself that never to have a cat as a pet, and now look at me!!!

Well, this beautiful kitty cat is really nice and clean. It has an special place to make its necessities and when I arrive to at my house she miaows meows longer than she uses to do it usual.

I stay a little time with her and then I start to make my usual activities at home. Then, my little pet goes everywhere behind me, hiding and playing with everything that she finds and when I rest on the sofa, she starts to climb the sofa and her big eyes look at me as asking 'May I?' Of course, I can't to say no.

At this time, my life is stressful and I feel really tired, but when I arrive home and I watch her face, I feel good, I feel like I'm not so tired, I even forget my bad mood and I start to make my own activities with energy.

It's wonderful to find something to make the life better. Even that though I have my partner and my sons, my little pet is some extra thing that I have to smile and to forget the bad days, because she is always waiting for me at home, without any claim and always with good mood.
