A little history on Tucker. I have not had her for her 23 years. She was someone else's cat and she came to be my baby back in 95 when she was found hiding in my front bushes on a cold winter night.

The first night I saw her I took a large box and lined it with heavy blankets and put it out in my bushes hoping that she would be smart enough to stay in the box...and sure enough she did. Tucker stayed with us until Christmas day when I saw here walk down the driveway and across the street.....not to be seen again until the end of April, she took off for 4 months. After her short departure she decided that our place was a good place to stay and she never wandered off after that. I took her to my vet and he was the one that felt that she was a ripe old age back in 95/96.....my vet only expected her to be with us for 5 years or so.....obviously she has lived past his projection.

Tuck is now almost completely deaf, has very limited sight, and a chronic, smelly sneeze.....but she is like a Timex watch....takes a licking and keeps on ticking. That our Tucker.
