M: I have a little white cat.
S: Oh, a cat? Come on.
M: yes, cats are always gentle. and they don't need a lot of space since they're small.
S: but I think they're dull, aren't they?
M: not at all. They're quiet most of the time.But they can be every bit as affectionate as dogs.
S: well, cats are certainly more independent.
M: absolutely. Believe it or not, I found my cat by a garbage can around my neighborhood two years ago.
S: oh, really? so you just took home a stray cat?
M: yes. It was starving and looking for something to eat when I saw it.
S: Poor cat.
M: now we get along very well. It makes me feel that I'm someone special.
