Cover Story, "TOM II" by Jason E. Leftwich

Some cats lead a "purr-feet" life. With custom accommodations, deluxe transportation and plenty of hearty food, TOM II, the University's tiger mascot, has a roaring good time. The University's five-year- old, 470-pound Bengal mascot, lives a life of luxury, from his dual air-conditioned trailer to his 3,500-square-foot habitat equipped with two pools, a waterfall, and a climate-controlled den.
