Over the summer time, a lady my mother works with goes away on vacation for two weeks. My mother told her that I really like cats and would not mind watching her five cats that she has for the time that she is away on vacation. So I met the lady and her five cats and immediately fell in love with all of them. Nancy, the lady my mom works with, really liked me and knew that I would take good care of her cats. I would go over to her house every day and feed the cats, play with them, and change their littler boxes. I grew to fall in love with them and did not want to stop going over to see them.
My mom and Nancy have already talked and I plan on watching the five cats again this summer. I do not even see it as being a job because I love them so much and they are so fun to play with. The cats are so playful and I really like the persian cat, Jazmone, that Nancy has. I am really thankful that Nancy trusts me with her five cats and that she allows for me to watch them while she is on her vacation. I would not hesitate ever to watch someone's cats for them no matter what!

Maine Coon Breed
I absolutely love cats and learning about all of the different types of breeds that are out there of cats. I have recently found out that there is a certain type of breed that has huge, furry tails and that can become fairly long in length as they grow older. This type of breed is known as the Maine Coon breed. The Maine Coon breed is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America and is specifically native to the state of Maine.
Male Main Coon cats can weigh between 15 and 25 pounds and females can weigh between 10 and 15 pounds. Adult Maine Coon cats can reach a height of 10 to 16 inches and lengths of up to 40 inches. These cats are pretty unique and one of the biggest breeds of cats out there. When the Maine Coon cat is young, it may not be that noticeable that they are going to be a very big size with very furry and fluffy tails that are just out of this world. Maine Coon cats are not very cheap in price either, some of them can cost up to $1000! This breed is a very nice breed to own.
I had not known that much about this breed until recently and once I found out about them, I wanted to find out as much as possible to learn more about them. I think that this breed is such an amazing and unique breed and I would really like to own one when I am older. If I really enjoy the Maine Coon breed, maybe one day I will breed them to make some money as well.

Choosing the Perfect Match
About eight years ago, my mom and I wanted to get a kitty because we both love cats very much and wanted a cat to add to our family. We went to a local animal rescue shelter by our home and browsed all of the kitties that they had. There were a lot to choose from because at that time it was right before Christmas and the shelter picked up a lot of cats from the cold weather. We browsed and browsed and wanted to be sure that we would pick the right one. Picking a cat is not just some easy task, it takes time and there has to be a feeling there that you know you are making the right choice.
As we were looking and petting all of the kittens that were there to choose from, I finally saw a kitten that caught my attention. It was funny though, because she was in the back of her cage sitting in her litter box. Somehow she caught my eye and I immediately wanted to take her into the play room they had. Her coloring was very unique, she was somewhat calico and tiger mixed together and had beautiful fur. Her name was Gem and we took her into the play room where she was quite shy but I just had a feeling that she would be perfect for our family. My mom and I decided to adopt her and take her home.
When we got home, Gem decided to hide under my bed and would not come out for a few days. I started to worry that she would never socialize with the family. After the few days though, Gem finally came out and she has been a loving and playful cat ever since. We spoil her very much and she is pretty much the queen of the house. I love her very much and I do not know what I would do without her, now that I am at school I miss her and look forward to going home and seeing her. I do not think she will be a cat that I will ever forget, she has a special place in all of my family member's hearts and mine.
