The Cat why do cats purr and other true facts


Hi! Today I read The Cat Why do Cats Purr and Other True Facts. I think cats are cute. The book has cool facts in it. Here's a feline fact... House cats can only purr. Big cats such as lions and leopards can only roar. Here's some other facts...

Cats don't have 9 lives.

Cats tails help them balance.

The chattiest kitty is the Siamese.

Cat claws are retractable.

A cats tounge is so rough because it has small spikes on it that they use to brush their fur.

Thats all for today. I hope this blog was purrrrfect!

The Dog

Hi! Today I read The Dog. Why dogs noses are wet and other true facts.


I learned:

Siberian Husky sled dogs eat between 10,000 and 14,000 calories a day while regular dogs eat about 1500 calories per day.

Dogs drool because when they exercise or eat their saliva glands get going and they just can't make them stop.

Dogs chase cats up trees because they don't exactly know the cat so they think it's a threat and they want to protect their owner so they try to chase it away.

That is enough for tonight! Hope you enjoyed the book. Chow! (get it? chow?)

Dumpy La Rue by Elizabith Winthrop and Betsy Lewin


Hi! Today I read Dumpy La Rue.Its a funny and rhyming book. Its about a pig named Dumpy La Rue who wants to dance. Other animals say that he is a pig pigs don't dance. He doesn't believe them. In the barn he frolics everywhere in the empty horse pasture. All the animals gather around the pasture. They notice he's dancing. The sheep jump in and start to dance. Then the duck then all of the animals try it! They love it and start to hear instruments. They danced all day and night. They made a dancing band called The Barnyard Ballet of Dumpy La Rue.

Good Bye!
