Ozzy Pawsbourne

According to Christopher Vattes, the best way to name a pet is to truly know their personality, and to try to match them to someone or something with similar traits. It didn't take long for him to realize that there was only one name fitting for his wild and crazy animal: "Ozzy Pawsbourne." "As a kitten, Ozzy was already a true madman," said Christopher. "He was constantly exploring and jumping on everything, including his siblings. And thus, he got his stage name."

Christopher said that people love the name "Ozzy Pawsbourne," and the cat equally adores his fans. "He just loves people. He'll run right up to you and flop down in your lap," Christopher said. "If he could speak, we're sure he would say, 'I love you all,' just like the real Ozzy does after every concert." Christopher admitted that his cat is deserving of rock star status for another reason: like a performer returning to stage for an encore, the feisty feline will come running when his owner chants, "Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy."

Every bit an entertainer, Ozzy brings plenty of excitement to the Vattes' household, and they'd like it to stay that way. When asked what inspired him to purchase a policy with VPI, Christopher said, "We got pet insurance because we want to provide our pets with the opportunity to live the longest and healthiest life possible."
