My friend’s daughter made a whole presentation on her laptop about why she needed a cat. She showed on the slides that she was lonely and scared to fall asleep in the room, and why the cat could help her deal with this! Unique kids!

It’s profitable to have a home guard, but not a brawler who nibbles your furniture! Try not to disappoint your parents with your choice))
