My Lovely Cat
Identification
This is my lovely cat, his name is Derris. I took care of him since he was a kid when I bought it at the
animal market. Derris is currently 9 months old. My cat belongs to the Persian breed so it has long fur.
Derris has a petite body and a funny face. Moreover, his activeness makes me want to continue
playing with him.
Description
Derris grew into a very healthy cat because he always eats regularly so that his body continues to 01
grow. He has a very beautiful long brown fur, the fur is also very soft and very comfortable to touch.
Derris has black eyes with sharp pupils when outdoors. His eyes will look very cute when he is in the 02
room because his pupils will turn big so he will look like a spoiled and obedient cat.
The tail is also not too long maybe only about 10 cm. However, because the fur is very long, the tail
03
also looks long. The pads on the feet are cute because they are pink in color and are soft to the touch.
The pads on this foot serve as a sense of touch for Derris.
His body that is not so tall makes Derris’s body look tiny coupled with his long hair. My cat is very 04
spoiled because when I’m sitting he will come to my palm and put his head in my hand as a sign that
he asks him to be petted. 05
