Then again, perhaps Lydia Coutré's parents' cat is unique.

Yep: Ozzy's favourite hobby is sitting next to -- or lying on -- a large assortment of peaches. Apparently it's not a food thing, either.

Just look how at peace he seems:

Mashable has reached out to the RSPCA to try and get to the bottom of Ozzy love of peaches. In the meantime, you can see more pics of him on his Instagram account.
