How to personalize a template
A strong cat description chooses only details the viewpoint can notice, distinguishes temporary behavior from fixed personality, and lets posture, pace, attention, coat condition, vocalization, and interaction reveal the immediate scene. Breed labels should not substitute for observation, and a single behavior should not be treated as proof of temperament or health.
- 1Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
- 2Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
- 3Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
- 4Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
- 5Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
