Write about your favorite experience with an animal

When I was a college student, people who surrounded me all liked cats. I lived in school dormitory, the dormitory and college had many cats. When I ended my class and went back to dormitory, I always saw many people feeding them everywhere. When I had dinner with my friends, they always shared their cats’ life with me. But at the time, I didn’t very like animals very much and thought it was just a burden to people’s life.
Until I started to work, the love for animal started to burn and grow up. I seemed to understand why many people love animals since the people surrounded in the work place might all be your competitors, and you might have nobody to tell your sufferings. In the difficult environment, the animal might be your best friend to you.
One day, a senior supervisor in my previous company was looking for the adopter for his two kittens . I decided to adopt them. At first, I gave them more my love and care, but these two little kittens were not enjoying the life with me. One day, I had to go went home so left them to my friend. I found them enjoyed their life with my friend, so I gave them to my friend in the end.
But the experience thought taught me a class lesson that everyone has to choose the animal that is compatible / suitable with you partner which one your both like each other. If not, it might be a tragedy. Now, I often visit my friend, Sandy, her house. Her cat very like me very much. My next goal is finding one animal friend like her cat it. That so we could have fun together.
