Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi, I always say. Reporting for duty, I am Michael, an adult cat with a heart so true, a personality so stable and so loyal, is it any wonder I was chosen by my former owner, a retired Marine, to share his apartment, his hobbies and his workout bench? Of course, while Mike worked out, I stood by and watched over him. While Mike ate his meals, I kept an eye out for invaders who might disturb him. While he worked on his model airplanes, I observed and offered my compliments. He was a mountain of a man, a meticulous craftsman, a thoughtful student of history; and we were comrades, brothers, the best of friends.
For all his power and strength, Mike’s heart was the one part of him that gave out. He was rewarded for his years of valiant service with a peaceful death while he slept. At that point, I assumed his name and stepped forward for rehoming. In my new assignment as a foster cat, I demonstrate the self discipline we Marines are known for. I’m immaculate in the house, neutered, vaccinated, declawed, well behaved and respectful . I look after my own grooming, watch my weight, and exercise regularly by playing with my toys and hopping up and down from my window-ledge. A Marine must, after all, remain vigilant and ready for whatever comes his way.
I hereby apply for deployment as your peaceful and affectionate companion. In return for a spot on your window ledge, regular meals and care, I am prepared to give 110% of my companionship and respect to you. I’ll supervise your projects around the house, commend your good judgement as you choose a TV channel and stand vigil over you while you sleep. I am duty-bound to serve you, as a good Marine should be. Mike will be proud of me.
I await your further orders and remain at your service. Semper Fi. 518-727-8591
