EXAMPLE:

Pussy, My sweet cat

I have a cat. Her name is Pussy. She is my beautiful gray Persian cat. She has a small body. She also has two ears. It has smooth fur. She has four legs. She walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. Her pride, however, does not extend to her appearance, for she spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.

Pussy is as finicky about visitors as she is about what she eats, befriending some and repelling others. Pussy does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because she is jealous of my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to herself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive her for her obnoxious, but endearing, habits.
