Ozzie

Three-year-old Ozzie likes to make new friends. He has developed his own system to determine who he wants to be friendly with.

When Ozzie walks out of his kennel he goes to the nearest person and does an in and out walk around their legs. If that person reaches down and pats him she immediately becomes Ozzie’s new friend and Ozzie will follow her around the room.

Ozzie is a cool cat and a sure thing for anyone that is interesting in having a friendly feline for their companion.
