Ozzy (AKA Bonks)
Ozzy is an extremely playful and Cuddly indoor cat. He loves attention and will gladly tell you when he needs it, by talking in his half meow- half chitter language and gently head butting your leg. He is very friendly and affectionate, and is ok with being picked up and snuggled. Ozzy has a few odd quirks: he likes to chew on pineapple leaves, and eat the paper-like substance between the nut and shell of a pastachio. Ozzy and his brother Theo were rescued from a building that was being demolished, and have become family to me. I wish I could keep them, but sadly my 2 year old son has developed allergies to cats and I need to find them a new home.
