This week's Cluster Pet of the Week is Oatmeal, a former street cat!
Oatmeal currently lives with The Cluster's very own Savannah Smith '23, an English and economics student.
Smith's dad and brother spotted Oatmeal one fateful day in June of 2020, and since then, she's been a "college cat," as opposed to her street cat origins.
She enjoys looking out of windows, especially when she is sitting on her window perch. She also enjoys chasing around her toy spring and being chatty.
She has a spoiled attitude and a "formidable tail," so Oatmeal isn't the only name she goes by. These two traits earned her two additional nicknames: Princess Pants and Princess FluffyButt.
