A 400-word essay on small animals around you (preferably a cat)

Cat is a small animal that people love. It is docile, lively, cute, can catch mice, and wins the favor of its owner.

The newborn kitten has its eyes closed, its cry is weak, its body is naked, and it looks like a wriggling ball of flesh.

After the full moon, all the hair will grow. Some have white collars, their limbs are covered with white hair, their backs are black with gray and white, and their tails are gray and black; some wear an ink "big cloak" from head to tail, but the soles of their feet are white. People say they are good breeds and are called "Black Clouds" "covered with snow"; some are all yellow with tiger stripes, and people give them the nickname "gold will never change"; there are also those with white fur and a black tail, which are called "drag guns in the snow." The one-month-old cat cannot live without milk and cannot walk unsteadily.

Cats are omnivorous and love fish and lean meat the most. If you throw a fruit or vegetable to it, it will just smell it and walk away.

The cat's paws have thick and soft flesh pads, so they walk quietly and will not scare away rats. There are sharp hooks at the ends of the toes that can be expanded and contracted at will. This allows it to not only run fast on flat ground, but also climb houses along walls, climb trees and jump over walls. Rats are driven to despair and rarely escape their fate.

A cat’s teeth are as sharp as cones, and its tongue is rough with many barbs. Once a mouse is caught, the cat's claws scratch the thorns and the cat's teeth bite. In an instant, the evil-doing mouse will have its intestines ripped open and its flesh and blood will be a mess.

These physical structural characteristics of cats give them various superior conditions for catching mice. As the saying goes, it doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, the one who catches mice is a good cat. A cat that can catch mice doesn't scream. When it spots a mouse trace, it immediately lies down and waits patiently for the opportunity to attack. When the mouse approaches, it pounces forward with lightning speed and bites the mouse in one fell swoop.

Cats also carry detectors - whiskers. Don't underestimate a cat's beautiful whiskers. They are very sensitive and are generally equal to the maximum length of its own chest. Therefore, whether a cat can go deep into a cave can be known by measuring the entrance of the cave with its whiskers.

The cat also has a trick: its bones are soft and it can turn over voluntarily in mid-air. Therefore, even if it loses its footing on a tall building, it will not fall to death. It will always land on all fours first, shake its head, shrug its body, and lick He licked the soles of his feet, stretched, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Cats are the natural enemies of mice, which is why they have strong mouse-catching skills. First of all, because of a special pair of eyes, the pupils can shrink or expand according to the intensity of light. Under strong light, the pupils shrink to a thin slit; in the dark, the eyes open wide and round. Even in the dark night, you can see things clearly, and no matter how cunning a mouse is, it will be difficult to escape.

Its ears are very flexible and can turn to the source of sounds at will, and can identify even the smallest sounds in time.

The most endearing thing is the "kid cat" after weaning off milk. They are extremely restless and extremely curious. You see, a ball of plush rolled towards the kitten. It probably thought it was a "monster", so it jumped suddenly and ran away, and the ball of plush stopped. The kitten lay down and stared at it for a while. Seeing that there was no movement in the thread ball, it quietly moved forward and called out "Meow--". The ball of thread remained motionless. At this time, the kitten couldn't bear it any longer, and boldly approached the ball of thread, circled it a few times, and then stretched out its front paws to touch it carefully. When it understood that the thread ball was not dangerous, it started playing without any scruples, sniffing it with its nose for a while, and running around the yard with the "victory prize" in its mouth.
