That's my dream since I was 2 or 3 years old. Now that I'm 9 to 10, my dream has almost come true. When I came home I was surprised to see her. When I got home from school, she came running towards me. The best thing was meeting her. She's just 3 months old and she's white as the moon. My aunt said that Jesus had sent me a sign because she was abandoned. My dad adopted her the previous Friday. I was at my baby's house. THANK YOU JESUS ​​I LOVE YOU "GOODBYE UNTIL SOON"

I think Luna is an adorable name for a black cat, and I have a stuffed cat named Luna. She is so soft and cuddly and loves snuggling with me along with my stuffed cheetah, nala at bed every night, and she is also my favorite stuffed animal, and Luna is my second favorite name after Bella.
