CAT ROCKS !

Assalammualaikum and hi and hello to all. In this post I would like to show my love towards cats because I think cats rocks ! I have a lots of pets back in my hometown and most of them are cats. My first cat ever is Mimi. She is an orange color cat and a very beautiful cat I must say. She died of a car accident if I'm not mistaken. The last cat I own was Tam. He died recently because of skin disease. Its hard for me to believe that my little Tammie has died and I have been in mood swings for about a week. I really really care about cats and I think they are the cutest animal ever on planet earth ! YEAH ! Right, no more sad about the past, I would like to tell you some interesting facts about cats !
