Outline for an Autobiography of an Animal
Let us have a look at how to write an autobiography of an animal with the outline.
Sample: If I were a Cat Essay?
I was born in an alley. I had light brown and white fur. My mom was very protective of my brother and me. Some children would often come and touch us. I would hear them say, “These kittens look so cute, let's take them to our home”. There used to be a lady who would feed us sometimes with rice and sometimes fish too.
One day maybe her son took three of us to his home. He bathed and brushed us and gave us food. We slept on a beautiful rug. I used to roam around the whole day in the house. A bell was tied to my neck; I don’t know why. His friends would come over and take so many pictures of me. One day he decides to name me Leo. That is when I came to know that his name was Harshit. Slowly, I got used to hearing the name and would respond when my name was called.
With time, I learnt how to run, jump and slide through small gaps. I would be fed with rice, fish or meat. Sometimes I would like soft bread too.
I would sometimes open the bottom door of the refrigerator. By then, Harshit would come and give me some cheese from there.
I would play with him and his friends, hitting a ball or with a wool ball. Sometimes I would chase mice. I would climb the steps to reach the roof, and all three of us dozed for an hour or more. I love to play with leaves and try to catch lizards or cockroaches. Somehow, I could never catch them. I hated to get wet and would always avoid the rain.
When they would go for long holidays, I would be kept with my mom and brother in pet care. Once in a while, I would be taken to the doctor.
Harshit or his mom would caress me, play with me and take me for walks. I was extremely happy. I wish to live with this family in their house forever.
