A
When I was young, I always wanted a cat. But my parents disagreed. Every year I would ask for a cat, but I always got the same answer, “No.” My father said, “Cats are dirty and smell terrible.” Then it was my mom's turn, “1.我认为我们照顾不了猫。”
Right when I was about to give up hope, my seventeenth birthday came. My parents still disagreed, but my friends were a different story. They showed up at my front door with a cat on that day. 2.I jumped up and down happily because my dream had finally come true!
After a long time, Bandit was able to successfully mix in my family. I had prepared a lot of plans for Bandit and me. I wanted to paint pictures of us, go on road trips and dress up in fashionable clothes together. 3.令我惊讶的是,Bandit是我曾见过的最害羞的猫。 He hated joining me and I often shouted at him.
Later he became closer to my mom. 4.In my opinion, nobody loved him more than I did. However, he loved my mom more. I asked my mom why. “What I do have is patience,” Mom told me. 5.Ever since then, Bandit has been teaching me to be more patient. Because of him, I became more responsible, too.
