Tall, Striped, and Handsome

“Here I am! Here I am! Your one and only strong, tall, striped, and handsome Italian lover boy! I am! I am! I call myself a Tabby Tuxedo – ready with stripes and formal dress for any lively occasion that might present itself. Here I am! Call me your Bambino!”

“Oh, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s Amore!” Amore! Love! Me! Bambino! Bambino! Two words you’ll not ever hear about me: shy, retiring. We have some shy and retiring cats around here. I am not one of them. I am a leader among leaders, a feline among felines, a quarterback among football players, a general among soldiers - and soon to be your most fabulous and fabled Lover Boy Cat.

Bambino likes people. Bambino loves people. Amore! Bambino likes to nudge people. Well, Bambino likes to see if he can sneak past them and head for the corners to make a little mischief. Not bad mischief, just a little fun mischief – want to see somebody jump? Hoya! Hoya!

Here I am! Here I am! Ready to take charge of your life. Ready to lead you, love you, dance with you, break bread with you, teach you to make delicious tuna and turkey pasta for your Bambino. Hoya!

“Yes, that’s me you hear. No, it’s not a foghorn. Do you see fog around here? Not in my sunny space. No, that’s me. I sing – isn’t that what a fine Italian gatto should do? Just call me Pavarotti if you prefer. Smoke alarm? No, it’s me. Bambino.”

“What’s the noise about?” “I’ll tell you what it’s about – that Maine Coonish guy keeps walking on the roof – or, maybe, it’s the ceiling. Whatever it is, he’s walking on it. Thump, thump, thump, rattle. How am I supposed to carry my tune with all that going on?”

Listen, it’s simple. Here I am! Here I am! A fabulous, still young, tall, striped, and handsome long-legged lover, leader, and slightly mischievous Gatto Bambino. A Tabby Tuxedo – because I say so – with a deep tan neck and chin that you’ll appreciate when you know me. It’s simple. Bring $100, and we’ll sing our way to your villa. For a fun, full life, here I am! Bambino!

PS: I currently reside at THE ADOPTION CENTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about me, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
