" An animal shelter in Washington, D.C., is apparently home to the world&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;saddest-looking cat&amp;quot; [via The New York Daily News] and sure, in normal circumstances you&amp;#039;d want to verify that kind of superlative with some authentication but when it&amp;#039;s a sad cat, let&amp;#039;s just get straight to another photo:  UGH, SO SAD BUT SO CUTE. (And not at all drunk, OK? This cat is just sad.) I&amp;#039;m buying cat food right now even though I live in London and can&amp;#039;t even take care of a houseplant successfully. Tucker, a 1-year-old tabby cat, is a resident at the Purrfect Pals shelter in our nation&amp;#039;s capital \u2014 and what I&amp;#039;m implying here is that adopting her is a great opportunity for a politician in need of a feel-good buzz in the polls as we approach midterms, not that I would ~*EVER advocate the adoption of an animal when said adopter doesn&amp;#039;t plan to care for their new charge appropriately. Tucker is so sad because of a &amp;quot;genetic abnormality,&amp;quot; one that causes her face to droop a little. She also suffers from hair loss, but this does mean she gets to wear T-shirts and hey, maybe you can make her the most fashionable cat in your neighborhood. That&amp;#039;s the sort of boost Tucker probably needs. In more conventional funtime cat activities, she also enjoys string toys and sitting on laps.  Update: Tucker has been adopted! The Daily Mail says her shelter was &amp;quot;swamped&amp;quot; with requests from sad kitty lovers determined to help out. Her new owners are experienced with special needs cats, and already own another tabby who&amp;#039;s similarly sad, genetically. This means there&amp;#039;s an existing kitty wardrobe for her to choose from, among other treats; a Purrfect Pets spokesperson says they &amp;quot;couldn&amp;#039;t dream of a better match.&amp;quot; Follow Alex on  Twitter.
