‘Rusty’
Everyone agreed that Rusty was a handsome cat His fur shone like silk, his eyes were golden and he had a long beautiful tall.
Rusty was also swift. No mouse dared to show its nose in the house while he was on the job. Rusty thought he had every luxury a cat could desire. A basket with .a comfortable cushion, and plenty to eat.
Because there were no mice in the house, and because he had nothing much to do, Rusty began to pay more attention to his food.
As time went on, Rusty was getting plump. His master was starting to notice that too.
They were cutting
Rusty’s food down and putting him on a strict diet He hated it
After an entire month on this strict diet, Rusty was down to his normal weight again. He now gets his normal amount of food but has decided something. Rusty put a lot of thought to this and came up with a solution. He would eat normally and stay healthy and fit
Every morning at 7 a.m. Rusty would have a long jog around the estate.
This would ensure he stayed handsome and it would keep his fur shining like silk, bis eyes shining like gold, and let his long tail remain beautiful.
