What a stalwart and strong lady you are, Bobby! We think than one bent dow ear just gives you a look of experience, but you do not look a day over 6, never mind the 17 years you really are! It is wonderful that you were not only a good mother to your own kittens, but feel strongly that all other felines need to be protected as well! I am not surprised your bulldog family member left you alone after that one incident, as he knew what a fierce protector you are. And it is great you are just as serious about keeping your humans company, and watching over them, too! Congratulations, beautiful old girl, it is your day to shine!
