“Thank you for stopping by to admire me. I am admirable – not an admiral. I have dignity and charm, and I am a just plain handsome guy. I know the sign says “brown tabby” – but take a close look. Do you see anything brown except my nose? I am black and white and grey, all kind of mixed together in some lovely long fur. If you had pants the same color as me, you would not wear brown socks with them. It would look funny. So, don’t mind the sign – I am Sgt. Snuggles because that’s what I do: I Snuggle!”

“I smile at you with warm and mellow wisdom. I am not a leaper and bounder nor a howler and thumper. I am a sit and smile, love and purr kind of guy. I love people who pet me; it feels good to be petted by people who like me. Do you like me? I think I could use some spray-on conditioner – oh, dear, I do crackle when you pet me. I love to be loved, but I think I’m about to have another bad fur day…oh, dear.”

“Sgt. Snuggles is a gentle guy. Sgt. Snuggles knows much more than he tells. We have some cats around here who jabber quite a bit. I only talk when I have something important to say, like ‘Feed me!’ or ‘Don’t you think it’s time to, uh, change the litter in the box?’ Otherwise, I just sit and think many cat thoughts and look out of windows and nap, nap, nap.”

“Did I mention that I’m available for adoption? That I’m available to become your forever cat? That all you have to do is offer up a kind, warm, loving home, $120, and some oohs and ahhs about how wonderful I am – and I can be your forever cat – which I would much like to be? I am Sgt. Snuggles; let me be yours!”
