Student Notebook: My cat Simba

By Austin Zettle

10, Monroe

My cat Simba. He is my favorite cat. He is cute and orange. He is very fat because he likes the food too much. He always wanted to come in my room and when i got my new room he figured out how to get in. So we had to think of something to do so he could not get in. So my mom came up with the idea of putting rubber bands on my door handles so he could not get in my room in the middle of the night and wake me up and have all of the other cats in too. The good thing about them being in my room at night is that they can sleep with me. But sometimes they get into things they are not suppose to get into. Simba sometimes sits on the couch and watches the birds. One time he tried to catch one but he hit the window and fell off the couch. It was funny. My other cats will do that too and it is funny to watch them too. It's funny when my little cat, Matilda, does it because she will fall off the couch and then run as fast as she can out from behind it. Simba is the oldest cat we have. He is 15 years old in people years and 105 in cat years. He is my favorite cat because he will sleep with me. I first realized this when he started sleeping with me on the couch one night.
