“Dad’s Loving Cat” by Jade Foo

Jade Foo (age 5)

DAD’S LOVING CAT

Kitty was playing, chasing birds.
She saw a person walking by
And she noticed it was Daddy.

So she ran, ran after Daddy
As fast as she could
And stepped on his foot.

She said meow meow meow,
I love you. Daddy petted her head
And brought her back home.
