Hi everyone:) I've written a little text on modal verbs, could you please tell me if all of them sound naturally here? Thank you)?

Cats are great pets. However, they are several things you need to think about before you adopt a cat. You shouldn’t get a cat just for fun. You need to be responsible. Remember, you will regularly have to buy food, toys and litter for your pet. If your cat has health problems, you also must pay for regular medical expenses.

If you decided to get a cat, you ought to choose which cat you want to adopt. You can get either a kitten or a full-grown cat. Kittens are more energetic and need more attention.

Some people take cats for a walk, but you don’t have to do this. Cats are very independent and love exploring places on their own.

Cats mustn’t eat the same types of food that we eat, it is very unhealthy for them. It’s a good idea to carefully study their diet and not to feed them with food they can’t eat.

    > You have one run-on sentence (a comma splice) here:

    "Cats mustn’t eat the same types of food that we eat, it is very unhealthy for them."

    > Overuse of the word "very" doesn't add any information, and it is such a stereotype that it weakens, not strengthens, your point.
