STARTING WITH THE BECAUSE CLAUSE

BEGINNING EXAMPLE:

Cats are the best pets because they have soft fur, and can see at night, and Ms. Yingling has some. 

DEVELOPING EXAMPLE:

Cats are great pets for people who are not home a lot because cats are solitary, use a litter box, and can help reduce their owner's stress levels. 

WELL DEVELOPED EXAMPLE: 

When it comes to domesticated pets, cats are a better choice than dogs for people who are not at home often because cats are comfortable being solitary, do not need to be taken out on a schedule, and can help reduce their owner's stress levels.
