That day my father came home with a kitten and it was the cutest animal that I have ever seen! After a lot of thinking, we all agreed to name him Dumpy. It soon became very friendly with the household and I also gave him milk from time to time. But things starting to go down when my mother noticed that some food had disappeared. During the next few days, we started noticing scratches on furniture and our socks being turned into shreds. It thus became clear to us that these were all a result of Dumpy’s misbehavior. From being tired of all this, my mother gave away Dumpy to one of our neighbors. Although this made me sad at the beginning, I have realized that it’s for the best.
