Only in Hudson

Yesterday, someone posted on Facebook that an "extremely friendly cat" had followed him for ten blocks, from Baba Louie's to his home. He sheltered the cat overnight but concluded that the cat was so friendly and well-behaved it had to belong to someone. He sought guidance in getting the cat back to its home.

A barrage of responses provided the information that the cat in question was Tux, a very charming, independent, and resourceful cat, who lives primarily around Warren and Fifth streets, has dozens of people looking out for him, hangs out at Nolita, is very adept at couch surfing in inclement weather, checks into The Barlow from time to time, and even visits City Hall.

Today Tux, dubbed "the Official Feline of Hudson," has his own Facebook page.
