Cats are very cute.
The cat has two small pointed ears on the top of its round head. Its two big eyes are so watery and bright, just like two grapes. It has a small nose and a lovely mouth with so many long whiskers（触须）.
They always greet us by saying “meow”. And cats like sleeping under the sun very much, and they always snore(打呼噜) loudly as a thunder.
Cats are so soft and furry that they are like a cotton ball in your hug, which makes us very comfortable.
In my eyes, dolphins are really cute.
