Nala is my first pet. We got her from the SPCA in Invercargill. When we got her to Dunedin, she was so cute and fluffy. Nala’s real name is Margret. Nala has lots of friends. She has a friend who is the same as her. Nala is a molly. A molly is a girl cat or a girl kitten. When I go to bed Nala jumps on my bed. Nala is a young tabby cat. There is another tabby cat I know. It is  seven-years-old Winston. Some of Nala’s friends are young and old. Nala is one of the naughtiest cats, I know. Nala has a very tall cat tower at home. Nala sometimes climbs the cabbage tree too. My sister Arya made a home for Nala. Nala really likes them all. When Nala was eleven months old, she caught a big mouse. We celebrated Nala’s first birthday in June.
