A White Themed Midnight Monday (with fev-vers)

Hi all! Well, winter has finally arrived here. It has been an unusually warm winter so far, but the last few days have been really cold. When we woke up this morning...Snow!
Now, Mommy has 8 bird feeders, yes 8 bird feeders and two heated bird baths I can see from my window. She & I can't pick a favorite bird, but we can pick our least favorite. In the early morning, purty songbirds filled the feeders getting all they needed....then, those "d*mn starlings" found us. The chased all our songbirds away and emptied the feeders TWICE!!! Mommy doesn't care about the food part, just the bullying part.
We'll post pictures of them later because mommy took them on her film camera (better zoom feature) and we wanted to show you these now.

Me seeing snow for the first time in a looooooooong time. I'm thinking "what the????"

oooooooooo see the Cardinal flying in from the left side of the photo and the dove taking off from the pole??

Finches on the feeders and in the burning bush.

Me licking my paws clean. Mommy thinks I must've been preparing for a starling feast...

Tortie Tuesday!

As promised, this is Izzy, Sammy's big sister and my Aunt Annette's other rescued kitty. Izzy is a little skittish with strangers so mommy had trouble getting a picture showing all her gorgeous tortie colors, but this one is really nice. Izzy is up on her most awesome cat tower high enough to keep an eye on everything.




She got to the point where she sniffed mommy, but didn't want pets. Mommy said it is a cat's perogative to want attention whenever we chose and not want it whenever we chose.


Check out this cool cat tower! See Izzy at the top scratching????? Mooooooooooomy I want one too......

Midnight Monday Introducing Sammy! (just a wee bit early)

As much as I know you all love seeing me (tee hee hee, just kidding) I wanted to introduce Sammy. Sammy is a purty 6 month old kittie that my "Auntie Annette" rescued from being a feral. Her furiend had found Sammy in her back yard as a starving little kitty but couldn't keep her so Auntie Annette took her in.

She is such a tiny little girl to have those ears! Could there be a little Frootbat in her?


Auntie Annette is my mommy's bestest friend and she kittysits me when mommy and daddy are gone. I'm a little nervous with her, like I am with all strangers, but she is sweet and I love her. She plays with me, pets me, gives me stinky goodness and makes sure I have my medicine too.

Here is sweet Sammy with her holiday collar on! That red and green sets off her panther coat perfectly!



Stay tuned tomorrow when I introduce Auntie Annette's other rescued kitty Izzy, a purty tortie!

Any 24 viewers out there??? How awesome was Sunday night's premire? We are sooooooooooooooooo excited for tonight!

Just because It's Saturday....

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Emperor Jimi Hendrix the Omnipresent of Withering Glance Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

This is the purfect name for when I want more stinky goodness, or when the flashy box comes out to much, or when my crunchies need fluffing, or when mommy wakes me up to early, or when I've gotten my nails trimmed, or my ears cleaned.....well you get the picture. It is the purfect aristo-CAT-ic name for me!

Of course I would never look at my Sugar Pie Brandi like this. She is to sweet and purty....

PS Mine mommy had to have two "ulcerations" in her nose cauterized. That means they burned them shut. Shudder. She has an infection that has already swollen one side of her sinuses shut and the other is inflammed. It isn't anything she did or the doctor did, it is just the way her body is handling things. She has 2 weeks on 2 new medications and if things aren't better, they may haf to do the surgery again. Please cross paws and fingers that doesn't haf to happen. It was just awful!
She didn't want to say anything because she thinks people are sick of hearing about how bad she feels, but wanted everyone to know that is why she hasn't been helping me visit much. We're trying to get to everyone at least once a week, but she is so tired when she gets home from work (she finally had to go back) that she mostly just sleeps....

Tummy Tuesday on the Comforter

Ahhhh I love snuggling on the comforter. It is so warm and soft. Mommy likes this comforter because it is lighter than the one on the big bed so she gets better pictures of me. I love to show off all my house panther handsomness.
I wish my sweet Brandi was here to snuggle with me. I think her silvery fur would look nice on the light background....sigh


PS All my loved ones call me Hendrix now (unless I'm in trouble or at the VET - same thing). All my bloggy friends are included in that group so Hendrix it is! I do kinda like it as my offishul ree-purrter name, it makes me sound sooooo offishul. Mommy is the only one that gets to call me Mr. Kitty McPhearson Squishy Face Head though, and only when she is scratching my chin....

The story of a former feral's name...

I know it is early, but since my mommy is back at work now (I'm really missin' her and she misses me too!)she is so busy she might not get to post my former feral post tomorrow. So, here it is a few hours early....

A lot of people have asked about my name and whether I have a first or middle name. Well, that is an interesting story.

Mommy found me on the side of the road on a freezing cold November day on her way home from work. I was a feral, totally skin and bones and wanting to trust but having a lot of trouble with it. I was also facinated (and a little unnerved) by sounds from the TV/Stereo speakers. I love to sit on the subwoofer!

Mommy & Daddy always thought of kitties as being slick and cool, but at the same time, crazy and fun. What ties all that together better than rock and roll???

Being big lovers of the "classic rock" era (the Who, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane - the Woodstock Jefferson Airplane not the "We built this City" "Starship" one! - etc) and of course the "rock n roll trifecta" of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin & Jimi Hendrix, this is the first place they looked to when they were picking out a name for me.

Anyway, since I'm a boy, Joplin was out, Daltry didn’t seem wild enough as a name, other bands like the Stones have typical bean names (though "Jagger" was kicked around since I love to run around like crazy), and Morrison, and versions of it seemed to much like Morris the cat.

I am a "cool cat" so "James Marshall Hendrix" it was. It was a mouthful so I went between "Jimi" and "Hendrix" for a day or two, but when they took me to the VET, the Vet Tech called "Mr. Hendrix," and that sounded so good, it stuck.

Not only is my purrsonality is as rock and roll as it gets, Mommy says Jimi Hendrix was a rock and roll god...and what do we cats think we are?????

My namesake, as so many musical geniuses of that era did, crossed the Bridge to early (Nov. 27, 1942 – Sept. 18, 1970) and to tragically. He had so much more magic left in those fingers.

I love to run around when mommy and daddy have concert DVDs on (they do this alot when they clean) but for some reason, the Who is for the couch. My daddy captured my typical the Who concert watching pose a few months ago. Before you ask...it is Baba O'Riley that is the fave...can't help but sing along and twitch my tail to the beat...

As for my namesake, a favorite is hard to come by, but Mommy thinks, "the Star Spangled Banner", because the way he played it....it is an awesome song to begin with, but, wow, the way Jimi played it.....untouchable...

On that note...I think my new theme song (to be played when I enter any room should be:

See Me
Feed Me,
Pet Me,
Treatsies.....

See Me,
Feed Me,
Pet Me,
Treatsies.....

Listening to you, I get so hungry

Gazing at you, while you try to sleep

Following you, into the kitchen,

I'm gonna beg right at your feeeeeeeeeeeeeet...."

See Me, Feel Me by the Who

Belated Toosie Tuesday and Early Wordless Wednesday

I'm sorry I missed such an awesome party on NYE. Thanks to Jack and efuryone for keeping Brandi company. I missed her oodles and oodles, but sticky little people, lotsa food out and noisemakers are to much for any cool House Panther to deal with. I stayed in my safe room and watched the countdown (I did get virtual nose kisses from Brandi efury hour which made it nice). Then I explored the leftovers!

This is my holiday edition of Tuesday Tootsies! As you can see, I am very clever in removing the soft paws and only have 3 left on my 4 furry toes.



This is how I looked after the Bengals' vs Steeler's game Sunday. No words needed.
