I am going to tell you about Los Angeles. Los Angeles spans a widely diverse geographic area.

I have got a cat. Her name’s Murka. She is 9. She is beautiful. She has some bright stripes on her body and her fur is rather thick. Like other cats, Murka likes warm places and in winter she often enjoys sleeping at the battery under our stairs. In summer my lovely cat “sunbathes” in the street. She squints and purrs with pleasure.
Our cat catches mice. When she is hunting, she looks like a wild cat. Her eyes are sparkling with excitement, her ears are pressed down, her whole body is strained. It’s so interesting to watch her hunting. When she catches a mouse, she doesn’t eat it. She brings it to us and shows it, as if she wants to boast. We always praise her and give fresh fish or cans for cats.
When Murka was little, she was like a small fluffy ball. And she was very naughty. She tore our wallpaper and scratched a staircase and chairs. She also dropped some of the mother’s flowers from the windowsill, but in spite of this, we love her very much. I always play with her and I even taught her to ride a bike (of course with my help).
Our cat is out-breed, but we are sure that she is the best one in the world.
Домашние животные очень важны в нашей жизни, я думаю. Они делают наше существование счастливее и наполняют его радостью.
У меня есть кошка. Ее зовут Мурка. Ей 9 лет. Она очень красивая. У нее есть яркие полоски на теле и ее мех достаточно густой. Как все другие кошки, Мурка очень любит тепло, и зимой она часто наслаждается сном у батареи под лестницей. Летом моя любимица "загорает" на улице. Она щурится и мурлычет от удовольствия.
Наша Мурка ловит мышей. Во время охоты она очень похожа на дикую кошку. Ее глаза сверкают от возбуждения, уши прижаты, все тело напряжено. За ее охотой очень интересно наблюдать. Если она ловит мышку — она ее не ест. Она приносит ее нам и хвастается. Мы всегда хвалим ее и угощаем свежей рыбкой или кошачими консервами.
Когда Мурка была маленькой, она была похожа на маленький пушистый комочек. При этом она была очень непоседливой. Она ободрала нам обои и поцарапала лестницу и стулья. Кроме того, она уронила несколько маминых цветов с подоконника. Но мы все равно ее очень любим. Я всегда играю с ней и даже научила ее кататься на велосипеде (конечно же, с моей
Наша Мурка — беспородная, но мы уверены, что она самая лучшая кошка в мире.
