White Cat - 5 Minute Free Write Prompt ChallengesteemCreated with Sketch.

in freewrite •  7 years ago 

We had a white cat with the longest hair I’d ever seen. His name was Zero. My daughter named him after her favorite movie animal in, A Nightmare Before Christmas. Zero acted more like a dog than anything. He absolutely loved being groomed and it’s sure a good thing.

Not our cat

One day while I was at work, the kids decided to dye Easter eggs,. Boy was I surprised when I got home and saw a polka dotted cat. He must have been five colors, with spots as big as oranges. That’s not even the crazy part. Turns out he loved the process and would beg for more. From there on out, Zero had a new hairdo every month. Who would’ve believed it?

He lived to be a be speckled 17 years old. I sure wish I could find some pictures of him. I know there must be a ton of them packed away somewhere around here. (Back before the digital age) What a pretty boy he was. He’ll always have a place in my heart.

I love it! My white cat was more dog than cat, too. He would run to meet people at the door and never met another animal he didn't like. I once watched him in the yard nose to nose with a deer.

Honestly, you must be a sister from another mother, haha.

The cat has 500 skeletal muscles (humans have 650).

I had no clue. Thanks, now I have a new fact.

A cat’s brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dog’s. Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brains that are responsible for emotions.

Now, I'm gonna have to look up a bunch of cat facts. Good going, haha.

The Maine Coon cat is America's only natural breed of domestic feline. It is 4 to 5 times larger than the Singapura, the smallest breed of cat.

My friend has a Maine Coon, it took down a squirrel the other day.

Cats have 30 teeth (12 incisors, 10 premolars, 4 canines, and 4 molars), while dogs have 42. Kittens have baby teeth, which are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 7 months.

I have 2/3rd's of my teeth.
