Nirmala's Awesome Report on Cats!!

 Cats in NZ!

Introduction

We have one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world, if not the highest. Almost half of all households in New Zealand have at least one cat, and 20 per cent have more than two. There are more than a million cats in the country - with little to no regulation or monitoring on them.

Cats on fences

Cats love to sit on fences. Not because indecisive, but because fences, especially the ones with wide rails, are a jumpable height and gives a very nice view. So they can get away from dogs or other pests like humans.

Natural killers

These feline lovers aren’t as cute as they look they can also be viscous. The cats in ancient Egypt they were made for fighting. Cats are natural fighters and they also fight for their lives. About 40 per cent of New Zealand's native land-birds are already extinct, and of all the bird species remaining 37 per cent are endangered because of our cats, but we can’t stop them. There doing what there a meant to do, it’s just life.

The silly ones!

Some cats aren’t as smart like they usually are sometimes they act like different animals. These funny felines don’t always sleep all day some of the feline acts. All cats like food so you decide to give the cats a big bowl fall but the cat didn’t want it, and some cats want to have someone to play with so you got a cat to be its pal but all they do is sleep. These cats can’t do one thing they would do the other.

Cats in books

You might have heard of greedy cat and Garfield and you think to yourself my cat is just like that. Well cats are just like that. Lazy things, all they do is sleep most of the time. Cats sleep up to 16 hours a day but with an older person they can sleep with them and it would be just fine.    

Cat drama

Cat drama is something like doing laps around the table three times or meowing and meowing until there’s food well there just trying to get your attention. Cat drama would include play fighting, doing tricks, and maybe even hiding in the cupboard with all the cat food. Cats will do this to get all the attention in the world to come and something with them.    

Ellie's Easter Holiday

MY EASTER HOLIDAY

  On Friday we went to Hanmer Springs & on the way we got pizza for tea & we also had to stop because one of the caravan’s wheels were smoking.

The next day we put the orning up & I helped by holding the poles, then after dinner we watched the movie ‘Spiderman.’

On Easter Sunday I got lots of yummy Easter eggs & we went to the pools & we got to go into a private pool.

Then on Monday we had to leave so I helped Mum & Dad take the orning down.

 Then on Tuesday I helped my Mum look after the kids- Felix, Zachary, Kobie, Gabriela & my sisters- Chloe & Katie.

Sophie F's Easter

EASTER!

On my Easter break it was really weird because EQC were painting our house. We have to sleep in the shed. Ben, Hannah and I have to sleep in the theatre room. Mummy and Daddy have to sleep in the guest room.

And there is only one bathroom cause if you’re in the shower and if somebody needs to go toilet it is really embarrassing. On Easter Sunday I woke up to find a traol next to my bed. I followedd  the trail and left all the bad eggs for Ben and Hannah . The tail led led to big Easter egg.

Easter Enjoyment-Kalista

   Easter Enjoyment

On Thursday my sister and I had the day off school because my mum was having her graduation from CPIT. On Friday we went camping at Ashley Gorge for Easter and when we got there we as far up the river as we could and rafted back. On Saturday we went back up the river where we swam and jumped of rocks and when we got back we melted chocolate and put it in chocolate moulds to make Easter eggs. On Easter Sunday I found some Easter eggs and went outside ad met a girl called kyla and we rode our bikes with each other and then after that we went to the river and I was first to jump of the rocks, the only one that went swimming and first to see the wild sheep. On Monday we were home and we went to see “The Croods” at hoyts and by the end of the day Alani was playing video games. On Tuesday Alani was  playing video games the hole day while I took my rabbit for a walk outside.
