    NLR Tucker is turning 6 yrs old

    Tucker my little orange ridgeback is 6 years old today. He came to us at 4 weeks of age after he and his sibling were rescued from the street. Kids found them and started knocking on doors giving them away. I wish they had knocked on my door first I would have kept them all but we were the last. The woman that had his mother wouldnt' take him back until he was older, tried talking to her about getting help spaying and neutering but she declined. Tuckers birthday is a bit hard - three years ago we celebrated his birthday in the morning and lost Tootsie that night.

    tuckers ridgeback - he shows it when he is playing or just sitting around


    baby Tucker at 4 weeks. We had him Bailey's crate so he wouldn't get hurt when he wasn't out with one of us.

    Oh, he's orange, my favourite colour after black. Look at that ridge, isn't that unique? I have never heard of a ridge like that on a cat. Such a pretty boy.

    Have you heard of Norm Hacking? He's a folk singer and famous for Orange Cats Make the Very Best Friends.

    Yes his ridge is pretty cool the hair does lay down flat too. He has one or two whiskers that will turn black then you look a week later and they are all white again. I tell him when I see the black whisker that AJ is coming out in him, AJ was our little black kitty . I will have to see if I can get a picture of that when it happens.

    Tucker would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes.

    Jolly Molly - Thank you, we make a conscious effort to ensure Tucker doesn't associate any sadness with his special day.

    Blackboy98 - yes I could kick myself thinking all the stud money I could have made off the boy LOL
