Little Bit
"Meow, meow, meow," is what I heard as I walked. I went to the noise and found there was a
36 black and white cat under a piece of wood. I picked him up and 37 he must be freezing to death. I 38 home with the cat held in my jacket.
My new best friend, who soon became known as Little Bit, received his name because he was almost 39 when I held him in my hands. He stood about five inches tail. Little Bit' s small size had a great advantage -- he 40 perfectly in the pocket of my jacket, which made 41 him everywhere very easy. Any time I was home, he wouldn' t leave my 42 . He was always eager to play with me. When I fell asleep at night, he would always roll up around my head to keep me 43 .
Unfortunately, I grew up. My teenage life 44 my relationship with Little Bit. I lived at such a fast pace (节奏) that I stopped making time for him. My free time was spent with my 45 instead. I would come in the house on my phone and not 46 him at all. His meows became an annoyance to me, but it wasn' t his fault that he 47 his best friend back.
Time had caused a 48 to Little Bit. His body began shutting down and by the time I realized 49 was wrong with him, he had already lost his balance. He lay there and looked at me, and 50 this day I still remember the 51 look in his bright green eyes. I took him to the vet (兽医), but there was nothing he could do. The last time I 52 him he wasn' t the same tiny cat I had found ten years before. Little Bit filled my arms and he was put to sleep that day.
Little Bit' s 53 made me realize how much he meant to me. He was always there for me when I 54 him. I regret our last years together and I feel sorry for not always being there for him. I will always 55 the special memories we made.
