Meet Ozzy, a Siamese/Tabby mix, who just love peaches so much!
Lydia Coutré, a journalist from Cleveland, Ohio, tweeted about Ozzy’s strange love affair with the summer fruit on Aug. 1 and people immediately fell in love with the adorable cat. After a few days, the post has gone viral and today, the tweet got 72k retweets and 195k likes.
“The family first noticed his love of peaches in 2014, the first time he was around for peach season. My mom says it was love at first smell.” Coutré told Bored Panda.
“He nuzzles them, uses them as a pillow to rest, or just stands over them guarding them,” she told The Dodo. “Ozzy hates clementines,” she added. “He smells them, makes a face, turns up his nose and runs away. Ozzy doesn’t cuddle any other fruit — just peaches.”
My parents’ cat inexplicably LOVES peaches, and it’s the most delightful thing. They send regular picture updates to the family group chat of this cat just chilling with the peaches. It’s the most important notification I get to my phone. pic.twitter.com/mPEQaRF8Mv

Some notes:
1. His name is, regrettably, not Peaches. It’s Ozzy.
2. He doesn’t eat the peaches. He just guards them and cuddles with them.

For the people who believe Ozzy loves the newspaper, not the peaches. pic.twitter.com/K9YBs9Tjqp
