A house, not a hotel!

by Lowri, 11

“You don't help at home!” “You spend all your time with your friends - we never see you!” “This is a house, not a hotel!” My parents often say these things to my sister Cara and me.

But they don't say anything about George's bad habits! George sleeps all day – he doesn't do anything! When my parents come home in the evening, George wakes up, washes and gets something to eat. After that he goes out and doesn't come back all night!

In the morning when I leave for school, George walks back into the house and falls asleep. But my parents never say to George, “This is a house, not a hotel!”. In fact, Mum says he's the perfect cat!
