My pet means the absolute world to me. She is my princess as I am her queen, she pounces on top of the highest object and she looks like the most powerful of all. Her fur is orange and white just like a tiger as she crawls through the tall grass looking for prey. At the end of the day she cuddles next to me and purrs as I stroke her softly until she falls asleep next to me watching television.
