Sorry to hear. He's beautiful. Didn't see his age.
 
LSU fans are mourning the news that the school's live tiger mascot, Mike VI, only has a month or two to live. But none are as upset as a Logansport, Indiana, man who never attended the school.

Steve Cotner, after all, raised Mike.

Cotner, 57, was a daily volunteer for Great Cats of Indiana, where Mike — then named Roscoe — was born 11 years ago. Cotner was assigned to care for him after being separated from his mother at 2 weeks old.

"Everywhere I went, he was following me or right beside me," Cotner said. "We had four or five people in there, but he would always come to me. So, I guess he picked me over me picking him."
