Bobby, when I saw your first pic and saw your age I thought, "What a dear old face and kitty!" Your story tells even more wonderful things about you - your gentle, nurturing ways and protective spirit (which may not be so gentle, if a dogs are afraid to cross you! )

Your colouring reminds me of what is called a torbie - bits of tortoiseshell colour in with the tabby stripes.

Whatever your background I hope you are treated like royalty today. Congratulations on being Cat of the Day, sweet Bobby!
