Book Cover & Preview Text
I was born under a house; so were my brother and sister. Mother brought mice from the outside for us to eat, as there weren’t any under the house anymore. We ate bugs too and grass when we went outside. Just about anything Mother provided for us was edible. On sunny days, she brought us out from under the house to play in the grass and explore. I’d catch my own bugs and eat them. Mother was so proud of me and told me I’d never go hungry because I was so quick.

After a long wait under the neighbor lady’s porch, she finally decides to adopt Tux who is bound and determined to prove to his new mother that he is a good kitty.
As Tux’s curiosity leads him into battle with a Christmas tree, an unexpected meeting with a big teddy bear, and into a dark closet where he becomes trapped, Tux slowly begins to discover what it is like to live with humans.
Tux is the charming story of a cat’s journey through life as he puts one paw in front of the other and learns all about love, family, and the world around him.
