Her name was Shotgun because if she saw a rat or mouse, it was dead!
Shotgun, the cat, had her litter of kittens in the hen house. So, while Shotgun was out on Rat Patrol at the farm, she had a "baby sitter" for her kittens. Little Red Hen would sit over them, tucking them under her wings to warm them and clucked if they weren't exactly where Little Red wanted them to be.
It was so funny to see the hen try to get the kittens to eat chicken food, but Red gently pecked the kittens on the head until they got the message, EAT! Luckily, Little Red allowed them to drink from the milk dish and made sure they got their fill.
At night, all would sleep together in the hen house, including Shotgun. Even when the kittens grew up, Little Red flew the coup and stayed in the yard to protect her family, and keep them in line, while Shotgun was busy hunting.
aahhh
