My name is Jilly.
Today, I hugged most of the cats in town!
I hugged the neighbor’s cat, Ben.
Ben said, “Meow?” MEOW?
I hugged the old cat who lives under the park bench. He squiggled and he wriggled.
I hugged Mrs. Lilly’s tubby, ginger cat.
He licked my face. “Slurp, slurp, slurp.” SLURP!
I hugged the cat who eats outside the fish and chips shop.
He went, OM, NOM, NOM.
I even hugged the grumpy cat, who doesn’t like hugs!
He yowled and yowled! YOWL!
I hugged a long cat.
I hugged a short cat.
I hugged an old cat.
I hugged a young cat.
I hugged a Mommy cat, and every kitten she had.
I tried to hug the big cats at the zoo, but the zookeeper said, NO!
I climbed on the bus and hugged the cat that was hiding in an old lady’s bag.
The old lady shrieked! SHRIEK!
I went home and got into bed.
YAWN!
Some furry things snuck in… And hugged me.
