From the Paper:

"Sniff is one of two mice in the story. He instinctively knows the importance of searching out new opportunities, and never takes his Cheese for granted. That is, he is aware that circumstances are perpetually subject to change, and that one must anticipate these changes as best as they possibly can. Sniff recognizes the vital role of searching for new Cheese, and takes the initiative in doing so, though he demonstrates the importance of not jumping into things blindly by always sniffing out new pathways before exploring them. Conversely, Scurry, the other mouse, is more of an "act now, think later" type of character. While he too recognizes the importance of not taking his Cheese for granted, going with the flow and seeking new cheese when necessary, his M.O. is to race towards it without first sniffing out all available options."
