It’s International Cat Day, so it would be wrong for us not to have at least one post focusing on our feline friends.
Today we’re obsessing over Ozzy, a 5-year-old Siamese/Tabby mix with a puzzling for love for 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

Ozzy is owned by the parents of Lydia Coutre, a “journalist, feminist, and craft enthusiast” from Michigan, who gets regular fruity updates of the cat via the family group chat.
Unsurprisingly, after Ozzy’s passion for peaches went viral, people had some questions, which Lydia was more than happy to answer.
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.
3. I have nothing to plug. Subscribe to your local newspaper.And here’s another pic: pic.twitter.com/k65GVUMKjb

And of course, they wanted more pictures

Others tried to come up with a reason for Ozzy’s strange obsession
Or cat eggs. Like he thinks he needs to protect the eggs until the little kitties finally hatch. I love it.

It’s because peaches have a furry texture and your cat is lonely for a furry companion ☹️https://t.co/UFWho4hppG

Don’t worry, Ozzy’s not lonely. He and his cat-sister Darcy have their own Instagram
It wasn’t long before others were sharing their own cat’s unique fascinations

According to Lydia, it was “love at first smell” for Ozzy and peaches. She said: “My mom makes a lot of peach pie and peach jam during peach season, so there’s usually a lot around this time of year. She leaves them out to ripen on newspapers and Ozzy always finds them to sit with.
“One time she left them out to ripen in a different spot, but he still found them. There was an Ozzy-sized hole in the center of the rows of peaches.”
However, he really doesn’t like clementines
Happy International Cat Day!
