Samantha on guard duty (photos)

[Vermontcat]

I took these photos one evening earlier this summer.
Samantha may be 17 years old but she still likes to keep an eye on everything in the yard.

Keeping an eye out for critters and birds.

I would definately feel much safer knowing that Samantha was keeping a look out. What a great job she does!

Samantha I hope so much my Tigris will be as feisty as you with 17. Love that frisbee water dish;)

You're doing a great job, Samantha! Keep guarding the yard and watch for those silly birdies! :D

THE ONE THING,THAT I DEARLY WISH,FOR MY CATS,IS THAT THEY ARE AS ACTIVE,AND LIVELY,AS SAMANTHA,WHEN THEY APPROACH,THE AGE,OF 17.
SHE,LOOKS,AND I BET,ACTS YEARS YOUNGER,THAN 17.
YOU,GO,BEWITCHING SAMANTHA!!!

Samantha truly is amazing for her age - she is amazing anyway! :D A totally sweet and beautiful cat. My Samantha sends all her love. She hopes she will look as good as your Samantha when she is 17! :D

Samantha is so pretty with her black little nose! :)

[Randy_K]

You can see in her face that she quite a few years on her! Many years ago a vet pointed out that our family cat, who was 18 at the time, had the tell-tale old age rounded nose (the top, fuzzy part to the leather looses the sharp angle). His first response upon seeing her was, "Oh, she's quite old, isn't she?" She lived to be 21. Nearsighted, a bit arthritic and as sweet as ever.

Samantha, lovely as ever, please do not over exert yourself. Take a lot of breaks, OK?

[Laura's Babies]

Samantha is such a pretty girl! Nothing makes you feel as safe as having "Guard Kitty" and you have an experienced one so birds, crittters and bugs BEWARE!

[catnapper]

Oh Samantha, you're doing such a great job! Not only a great job, but with beauty and grace too!

[sandragonfly]

hehe, funny.

she's very beautiful, lovely contrast I see! waterfrisbee's a cute idea. ;) don't you think it's too bright for her age? :D

glad you could share!

[Vermontcat]

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone.:)
The other day Samantha spotted a bunny in our yard and she got so excited with her tail twitching until the bunny hopped away into the neighbor's yard. (Sorry Miss Hoppy, hope it wasn't a relative);)

What an adorable guard cat! Sounds like she still enjoys surveying her domain to make sure everything is right with the world. She's such a cutie. :D
