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 tall. 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.

　 With time going by, Little Bit became 48 . 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.
