"I'm a little bit of a shy boy once you first meet me, so don't be alarmed if I don't approach you right away. Once you take me out for a walk, I'll open right up and give you the best kisses. If you think you can handle that, then come meet me here!"

"Aren't my eyes just mesmerizing? Just so you know, I won't really open up for you until you take me home. I dislike being in the shelter and would like a quiet place to call home. When you come to visit me, you will find me lying down meowing for attention! See me here!"
