This is a black Tabby cat. They are affectionate and intelligent. They love cuddles and a whole lot of attention. However, tabbies can get pretty cranky if they don't get their way; since as a rule they are very bright, they usually end up getting what they want. A tabby cat is considered to be any domesticated cat with a coat that features distinctive stripes, dots, or swirling patterns, usually with a marking resembling an uppercase “M” on their forehead. A tabby cat usually lives for 12 to 18 years.
This Tabby cat have been always seen around my neighbourhood. Most of the days I would see Tabby as everyday when I walk down to get my transport to school, I would see a auntie feeding many different types of cats.

This is Big Bird from the cartoon “Sesame Street”. One of its special traits is that Big Bird teaches young children about numbers, words and etc. I chose to upload this because i had the one on the bottom left for my whole life. Meaning, it is my childhood toy and it still is to this day. I remember back in Primary 6, 2 to 3 weeks before PSLE started, my friends and I were going to buy a birthday gift for our friend. I sadly could not go because of PSLE. They bought stuff for our friend. Then on the next school day, I was given a Big Bird plush, the on the top left, by my friends.

Why this animal is special to me

I choose this animal as it reminds me of my primary school friends. We used to pass by the cats every day on the way home to school. We feed and played with the cats and even gave it a nickname. The times with the cats are one of the most memorable times with my friends. When ever I pass by the cats I remember my friends and the amazing time we had spent together. Although I do not pass by the cats as often as I used to it still brings back happy memories from when I was in primary school.

A memorable experience between the cat and me
Once when I was really sad about failing my examinations and not even my friends and family to cheer me up. However when I saw “Kiki” my mood changed immediately and my face lit up. It crawled on my lap and I felt a sense of comfort. This is my most memorable experience

This is my adorable cat, Muhammad Ginger The Hero bin yes. A special trait that he has is letting anyone that comes to our house pat him. He just sits there, stationery, like a model unlike some cats that hide in the room every time there is a visitor. I decided to choose this picture of my cat as he is very special to me. He is there to comfort me whenever anything happens. Hence, my cat has a place in my heart.  I got him when he was just 3 months old, 4 years ago, during Hari Raya visiting and he looked so adorable hiding under the couch. Now, he is not as shy anymore. This is a memorable experience as I still remember it till this day.

I went to New Jersey back in 2018 and I saw a ferret crossing the road. I instantly was intrigued by this special animal. It cutely waddled and crossed the road. Up till now, I still am intrigued by it and wish that I could have one as a pet. But sadly, it is not allowed in Singapore.

Birds Are Extremely Intelligent, Easy to Train, and Social. Being intelligent makes birds easier to train, than other animals. Since they are so smart, they're interesting to watch and be around. Their love of learning makes them fun to entertain and be entertained by. Birds can be gentle and docile. They are also very easy to tame, especially if acquired at a young age. Pairs of birds make good company for each other, but when in living pairs and entertaining one another, they may not bond as well with their owners or mimic speech as fluently.I chose to pick these pictures because the first picture represents the bird that I have currently at home and the second and third one being the bird that i always wanted to get but I could not because there is no space in my house.One unique encounter was  one day when  i got home after a long day at school, my bird chirped loudly at the sound of the door opening I found this very unique as my bird doesn’t chirp when my parents or my sister get home and i felt very touched when i heard my bird chirping

Special traits of a cat:
Thy are very outgoing, they have dominance, and they are very friendly
I chose to upload cats because I’m a cat lover and i started taking care of cats ever since i was p1 and I’m still taking care of 10 cats. I love cats because they don’t leave me lonely and every time i go out, i would bring treats for stray cats or cats i see under the block or in the streets. A memoriable encounter with my cats was that a few years back, before covid, i brought my cat along with me during Hari Raya and even when I’m cycling. I only brought my cat only to houses that people aren’t scared of cats.

I choose cat , it is my favourite animal because it is adorable, the special traits about cat is that the toes and paws, as well as the tip of the nose, are also very sensitive to touch. Cats also have an acute sense of hearing. Their ears contain almost 30 muscles (compared with 6 in humans); as a result, they can turn them many times more quickly in the direction of a sound than can a dog.Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don't taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length.

These are pictures of a cat . Some of its special traits are its playfulness , sociable . I chose to upload pictures of a cat because it was the first thing that i thought of . I don’t have a cat but my aunty has a cat and one funny encounter between my family and the cat was that it accidentally scratched my younger sister and she cried . After that incident i think that the cat was scared to play with my siblings because it didn’t really interact that much . I felt bad but at the same time i also thought it was funny as it wasn’t really such a big deal .

They are brightly plumaged, compact birds with short tails, large heads, and long bills. They feed on insects or fish, and lay white eggs in a self-excavated burrow. It’s special to me because it looks beautiful. I still remember last time(pre-covid) I was at Sungei Buloh wet lands I saw it fly into the river and a few minutes later I saw it back again with a fish on its beak.

The animal i have chosen is a cat/kitten. I have decided to upload pictures of my cats instead as an example. Some special traits about cats are, a highly attuned sense of smell, psychic whiskers, super-quick feet, balancing tail, extraordinary hearing, far-sighted focus, tough tongue, feline flexibility.

I chose to upload pictures of cats because they are like my best friends, my favourite animal, and I think they may represent me. It is also special to me because I have always had cats since I was a baby and they’re like a family to me and I don’t know how I would live without them. My favourite cat among the nine I have is Chelop. He is the second picture I uploaded. My favourite memory with him was when he first came into my house. It happened four years ago when I was nine and it was a surprise by my parents. Chelop was very small and fluffy back then so that was what attracted my attention. Ever since that day I had never stopped playing with Chelop and whenever I reach home from school, he is the first thing I look for. Chelop usually sleeps with me. He is also very clingy as wherever I go, he tends to follow or look for me. This is my bond with Chelop :)

This is a goldfish, my first ever pet that I owned. The common goldfish has two sets of paired fins - the pectoral fins and pelvic fins, and three single fins- the dorsal, caudal, and anal fin. They lack barbels on the upper jaw, and lack scales on the head. Goldfish have exceptionally large eyes and acute senses of smell and hearing. I chose to upload a picture of this animal as it is my first ever pet that I owned, hence it is special to me. A memorable time that I encountered with this goldfish would be when my cat tried to go inside the fish tank and the goldfish tried to get away from it. Unfortunately, it died at 5 years old as the current was turned of and we had no clue that happened. :(

Axolotl are a friendly, interactive aquatic pet that will give you years of enjoyment if kept properly. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to care for once they are properly housed and fed. Which is why I picked it. Though, I do not have it. I could still go to somewhere like River Safari and see it face to face.

I developed my love for axolotls as they are very calm , friendly and can play with you when you are feeling down. Most importantly, they are cute!

There was this moment in my mind which i still remember, up-till now. Once, i was called onto the show of the Singapore River Safari and I was told to hold an axolotl. The axolotl crawled up to my head. It felt ticklish, the crowd laughed. This was truly a memorable and funny memory in my head. A truly supercalifragilisticexpliadocious experience.

I chose otters as MOST of them are cute, cuddly, chubby,adorable,lovable,huggable,fluffy and i just want to cuddle with some of them. What if they scratch or bite me ,they  are cute and that’s what matters and I’m short sighted so I don’t think about consequences.

This is a tabby cat. Tabby cats are actually not a breed but it was named after a stripped silk that was made in Baghdad. It is like leopard or tigers as they can camouflage in the wild as its colour and strips are similar to the wild. It can be from any colour as long as they have strips that can camouflage in the wild. Cats are also have higher sensitive ear than most mammals including humans and also have night vision. I decided to choose this pet is because I have a cat that is similar to this photo. I actually got it 4 years ago where my dad gave it to me as my birthday gift. it was shy, it wanted to hide wherever it can hide. But it managed to like me when I gave food to it and it played with me whenever I was bored or nothing to do.

Some otters might look soft and cuddly but remain dangerous wild animals.Otters have strong teeth and a powerful bite. So, whether you see an otter on land or at sea, be sure to maintain a safe distance of at least 5 kayak lengths or 60 feet from the otters. I , however, will be 2kilo meters away from the giant otter.Only 44 cases of otter attacks have been published worldwide since 1875. 9 Such encounters are often the consequence of human encroachment upon otter territory, and the resulting injuries may be quite severe, because river otters have sharp canines and carnassials.So be careful.Otter kills of fish are often seen as a characteristic “V” shaped bite just behind the gills and in the throat area to access the vital organs. They will also take the complete head off of smaller fish and damage tails (usually as a result of chasing them).Male sea otters sometimes attack baby seals and attempt to mate with them.Other species may do more killing. But few species are violent in quite as disturbing a way as the otter. For one thing, sea otters murder other animals even when they don't get food out of it, just for fun or something.When it comes to mating, male sea otters are aggressive. The males will grasp the female, then bite down onto her nose and hold on, usually resulting in deep cuts and gouges, sometimes with pieces of flesh torn away. The two spin in the water until mating is finished and the male releases the female.

My dog was always attracted to treats that my mother often buys from the pet shop. I was always very happy to play tricks and games with him to let him gain his treat. Despite him being a playful and active dog, he was also very obedient and attentive to my mother and I.

Panda are cute because they are fluffy.                                                                                   And also especially why i like them is that they also have 1 more new panda in Singapore this year and the new panda looks super cute too. The way they eat so much banboo is so cool. However they do eat a lot of them and if you were to buy food for them everyday it will be bad. Some special traits of the animals is that their thick black and white fur equips them for life in cool forests. Their white coat with black markings is unique, with black patches round the eyes and ears, black legs, and a black band around the shoulders. The unique memories of pandas are the time when I was still little boy and my parents brought me to the Singapore river to take a look at wild life (pre-covid) and i saw pandas for the 1st in my life and i saw they were eating however i went in late so they have to rest already so i saw it a little bit but still was a memorable experience.
