Tucker's 4th Birthday!
Tucker turns 4 this Tuesday, July 11th. Tucker, being another shelter cat from the same shelter I found Tyler, didn't have an actual birth date listed that the shelter was aware of.

Everyone seems to love seeing pics of Tucker, whether he's looking out the door or window, cuddling in my lap, or having one of his daily "shit fits" that would make Tyler proud. Yet, despite the love of Tucker pictur...
