Cowboy in Socks - He's the Life of the Party
Six-year-old Cowboy has socks more than he has full boots, but Cowboy is his name and cuddling is his game! This big guy is very social and always the life of the party. He loves following people around and flopping onto his side to get pets. Cowboy is a big fan of catnip and just likes to have a good time. Will you ride off into the sunset with him?
