Cats.
What's man's second best friend? The cat! I don't own a cat, but I know that you can't take them on walks. There are many types of cat and like dogs you need to take care of them. Although cats are more independent, they still need your love and care. Cats wash themselves and take their own walks. A lot of people think that cats hate water, but I've seen some cats prancing about in water. When people think about cats, they think about the word feline, so they think its usually female. Well, at least, that's what I think. In conclusion, cats are great pets if you don't have enough time to take care of a dog. So go to Pet Smart of something and get a cat now!

Alternate meaning:
Impromptu is also a kind of musical composition, often but not exclusively for solo piano. The piece is scored, so it obviously is not ad lib, or created on the spot. The composer attempts to write a piece that has a free and airy style, without a lot of complexity in harmony or form. She/he wants the piece to sound like something that has just come to the performer.
