Tucker, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tucker
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Sphynx
Home: Columbia, Missouri, USA
 
   This is my Sphynx kitten, Tucker. We got Tucker from Angelic Sphynx in Iowa. I have always been a dog person, but after a lot of research, I decided I wanted to get a Sphynx. It was the best decision I ever made. Corilee at Angelic was wonderful to work with and we all love Tucker dearly.

    Tucker is a definite "lap cat". He loves his family as much as we love him. Each morning he makes his rounds to give his morning hellos and loving. Each afternoon when his brothers get home school he is waiting. Everything they say about a Sphynx is true. They love interaction with their family. Tucker wants to be with us every minute we are home. They are also very good-natured. When we went to the mall in December for Pet Night with Santa Tucker was a big hit. Everyone wanted to see and pet him because they had never seen a hairless cat. Tucker was just laying in my arms and didn't flinch even when a small child came towards him to pet him. He just took it all in stride and I really think he was eating it all up because he knows he is adorable. People commented on how gentle and laid back he is.

    Tucker doesn't do any special tricks, but is very special to us. He loves to play with his sister, Sadie the Boxer. Although Sadie is much larger than Tucker she is very gentle with him. All you have to do is shake his treats and he comes running.
