Pearls Before Swine Wiki

Snuffles, also called 'Mr. Snuffles.' is Zebra's pet cat. He was originally adopted by the crocs to become a stealth assassin and kill Zebra by infiltrating his house.  However, Snuffles befriended Zebra, and has lived with him ever since. He also works with Rat and Guard Duck as a member of the organization and the latter's army and Anti-Cow Movement.

Personality[]

Despite only speaking in 'meows' that can only be understood by Zebra and Guard Duck, a lot is known about Snuffles. Beneath the snow-white fur, he appears to have a cunning and dangerous mind, and a very sociopathic nature. During the short-lived tenure of Guard Duck's Basketball Team, he asks if it was alright to stab an opposing player. On the cover of Pearls Blows Up, he was the one who was detonating the bomb on the cover of the book. He once sold nuclear technology to the Syrians and got arrested by the F.B.I.

Despite this, he is very loyal and protective of Zebra. He also is fond of Guard Duck, even following him and Maura to Paris simply because he was jealous.

Appearance[]

According to Stephan Pastis, Snuffles is the easiest Pearls character to draw. His design consists of various short lines in a circular pattern that surrounds two dot eyes, a pink nose, a snout with whiskers and sometimes small arms.

History[]

Snuffles, at first, was supposed to be a spy lead by the crocs in a scheme to murder Zebra. This ultimately failed as Snuffles grew to love Zebra and was later adopted by him. But Snuffles' hands didn't stay clean for long as Snuffles later starting harboring terrorists without Zebra knowing. Not only that but Snuffles also started stealing and reselling expensive watches and over-priced ballgame tickets. He also started stalking Guard Duck and Maura when they temporarily moved to Paris. After this he shortly joined Rat's Lobbying Firm and Guard Duck's Anti-Cow Movement, the second one being the first appearance of Snuffles' alter ego, The Helikitty.
