Answer:
Captain said that puss is very friendly with people
Explanation: RULES FOR CHANGING DIRECT SPEECH INTO INDIRECT SPEECH
- Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks. End the sentence with a full stop.
- If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, change it into the past perfect tense.
- When the verb inside the quotation marks expresses a universal truth, we do not normally change it into the past tense.
- When the reporting verb is in a present or future tense, we do not change the tense of the verb inside the quotation marks.
