I have to write a five paragraph essay for my Composition I class. It can be no longer than 2 pages. There are several topics to choose from, but I could easily write about a hobby. The hobby that would be easiest for me to write about would be cats. Is caring for cats(& other pets) a hobby? I don't care if I come off sounding like a crazy cat lady in this paper.
I'll never actually meet the teacher as it is an online class. What do you think?

I would say so.

If you spend time and money on/with your cats in your spare time, that's a hobby imo.

Cats can be a hobby, just like beekeeping or tropical fish. This is an interesting challenge, in your essay, to explain what makes caring for cats a hobby, and not just part of housekeeping.

I think you should go for it. It IS what you enjoy doing. I'd say caring for cats could be a hobby. Good luck with the paper!!

My prof. told me this was supposed to be the hard paper. Writing a 5 paragraph paper less than two pages....sounds easy to me!
I've written harder papers in elementary school!
I guess I can't complain!

Yeah, I'm doing it on cats. I have my name, the class, the date, the professor's name, & my paper name done so far. I have only been working on it for....lets see.....an hour & a half!
Maybe I'll put it off until this weekend...after all, it isn't due until Monday!

This sounds more like you're having fun than WORK! You'll have to post the finished piece in the Paws and Reflect forum for us! Good luck!
