Describe a time when you lost your pet.: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

I recently faced a situation where I couldn't find my tabby cat. Her name is Nisa. I had her since I was 16. She is very shy and she only really comes to me. She does not like to be petted by any other person. She is an indoor cat and she usually does not leave home. However, recently during the Duga Puja, I couldn't find her in the home. I tried to search for her throughout the house and also I asked around my neighbours and they also couldn't find her. Then I looked around the flat and finally around late night, she came back to the house. It was a really scary experience for me. I am an anxious person in general and therefore I got really very anxious because I felt that something bad might have happened to her and it was a really scary experience for me.

Here I would like to describe a time when I lost my pet. When I was working in a hospital, that time I just had to stay in an apartment. So that time I didn't have anyone to accompany with me. So as a result I just ended up buying a dog to be a good companion. So every Sunday I just take my dog to the beach. So one day, last month, one Sunday I was going to the beach. I was about to go to the beach. So that time my dog looked at something, a stranger's thing, and it got so angry and as well as a bit agitated. So therefore it just running behind that stranger thing, which is nothing but a pig, like a black pig. So it was running furiously and fastly. So I couldn't able to manage the pace with my dog. Furthermore, it suddenly vanished. My dog vanished. Some vehicles came across between us. So I just unleashed the dog's leash. And after that I felt very detrimental and as well as saddened. After that I was crying a lot. And just I gave a complaint to the police station. So they also filed FIR. And after that I left to home.

My pet name is Woody. He is a dog, Lhasa breed. He is one of my entire life where I feel the happiest when I see him. One day when I was going to take him for a walk, suddenly he saw a stranger and then he jumped on him and started running towards him wherever he was going. He looked like a thief. So I think maybe the reason why my dog went to know what is wrong with that person. So that day, Woody didn't appear to my house. I went searching for him. I waited in my home that he's going to come back, he's going to come back, but he didn't come back. And I felt very devastated. And I was crying, my parents were shouting at me and it was like the worst day I could ever have. Woody is someone who's very smart. I don't know all of a sudden, he went and jumped on that stranger and he kept on running till he met to an end point, maybe a stranger must be doing or something like that. But after two days, we found him. He came back to our home and we were searching for him. He came back with a very dirty fur and felt like he somehow managed to escape from the place he was there trapped with. Maybe the stranger with whom he was running with, he trapped him somewhere and I felt relaxed when he came back home.

I used to have a small pet tortoise which I had when I was 11 years old. We used to keep him in a common basin in our house. I loved the pet but sadly I lost it after one year and it was a tragic event. Because one day we left him in the water in the basin. But I don't know somehow the water got all soaked up and when we came back there were a lot of red ants who were eating him and I saw that and I was really traumatized for life. So we hold a burial ceremony for him and we had to let him go. But that was my first and last pet and I loved the small tortoise that I had. But it was a tragic loss so I don't think I would be able to keep a pet again but I loved my tortoise.

I remember being young we had a pet cat named Manu. I used to love playing and enjoying my time with him. One day suddenly he got out of his house and didn't came back. Even though Manu was used to the whole neighborhood area he didn't came back to our house for three consecutive days. In search for him me and my sister went out for an entire day calling out his name but we couldn't find him. We were extremely worried because we didn't know the whereabouts of him and around the fourth day Manu came back on his own. Even though he was this tiny kitten he was strong and brave. After that we were relaxed enough to know nothing bad could ever happen to him. He proved that he is capable of managing everything on his own. Now he is seven years old and there were days where he doesn't come back for a week or two but I still don't get as worried because I know he would figure it out.
