Thank you for joining me on this week-long celebration of all things Tucker!

This week being FIVE YEARS since I adopted this amazing cat is a big reason to celebrate!

Here is the next chapter, re-edited, originally published on my blogger blog in May of 2017:

I was all prepared to blab on and on about life with Tucker.

However, how can I blog, and blab, about something that’s only just begun??

I am two months into what is already a fabulous life with my new cat.

My Tucker.

The Tuck-Man.

He has exceeded my expectations in every way. Our bond is already a strong and amazing bond, and I never expected that so soon after saying goodbye to Jackson.

You know what they say about life while you’re busy making other plans, right?

So, rather than blog, let’s just show you some of the great pics I have of life, thus far, with the Tuck-Man.

At first, Tucker hid mostly under the bed:

Every day I would peek in on him, feed him, and talk to him. Mostly reassuring talk, making sure he knew that he was home and that he was part of the family now. Almost immediately he would let me pet his head, and it did not take long for the purring to begin, and what a purr Tucker has!

Slowly, but surely, Tucker started to explore the bedroom:

…..and explore:

Everything was a new and fascinating experience, from looking out a window to watching TV for the first time. It was all new, and interesting, and enthralling to Tucker. After all, he never had cable before, or Wi-Fi, much less a home! It was adorable to see and warmed my heart.

It didn’t take long before Tucker started cuddling on the bed with us:

A strong bond began forming. I would always end each day making sure he knew that from now on, all he would know was love, home, and comfort. It started to take hold:

Not long after, Tucker began exploring the rest of the apartment:

….and found his favorite spot on the living room couch:

…..and atop what was once Jackson’s tree. Jackson approves:

He started to get to know Sophie, who, while not exactly his best friend, appreciated having a younger, eager assistant around:

Tucker also defied the odds and became a lap cat! Take that Little Shelter volunteer!

Words could not have done this justice, so I figured: let the photos do the talking for me!

Life with Tucker is wonderful, and I am beyond happy. More importantly, Tucker is happy.

In fact, it’s safe to say that Tucker is truly the happiest cat in the world.
