This week’s cat of the week is one readers of this column have seen before, but for some reason he has yet to be adopted. Eskimo Pie is over 2 years old and he has been at Northern Oklahoma Humane Society for around 9 months now. He is a gorgeous male tuxedo with adorable and unique white markings along his face and chest. He has beautiful light green eyes and you can just see the curiosity and intelligence in them. Eskimo Pie loves attention and his favorite thing is to pet and loved on. One thing that might rival his love of getting attention though, is his curiosity. Eskimo Pie can often be found sitting on his perch looking out the windows at the world around him. He is a very well rounded cat and fit in well in about any situation or environment he is thrown in. He takes a few moments to gain his footing, but once he has acclimated he is right back to snuggling with people and investigating his surroundings. Eskimo Pie is a wonderful cat and would make a great addition to any family.
