Midnight Mancat Monday

Mommy says I look like a sausage in a bun in this photo. We House Panthers are sleek, svelte hunters of the night. We are NOT sausages.

I am not happy. I think I will plot revenge while she is hunting and gathering today. Bendrix already had his notebook out and is scribbling away. Any suggestions?

Thinking on Thursday

I'm thinking glass is a cruel and evil invention.

I've read squirrels are high in cholesterol....

There are a lot of kitties and beans who need purrs and prayers right now. We are sending many their way.

Widebody Wednesday - 6 pack

Oh yeah, check out this six pack. I've worked hard on it. In fact, I've worked so hard, I think I'll grab a snack and take a nap.

Midnight Monday

I am blending in to my surroundings as good House Panthers are known to do. This allows us to reach out and snag a hand for biting, or a Cheese-It from a bowl. mmm Cheese-Its....I digress.

Blending in is easy for House Panthers to do especially at night. It is always amusing to watch beans running around the house looking for me "Hendrix, where are you? It is time for bed" "Come here sweetie, mommy wants to pet your pretty face" and then when they see the me, I'm always laying right there!

It is truly entertaining to come stretching out of my "hiding place" like "what's the deal? Why are you freaking out? I'm right here!" I love it.

PS Mommy FINALLY posted my M-Cat Club badge on the right side panel. Bendrix has yet to get a photo that suits him to send in. He is working on it. Remember, when he is out, the camera is usually exchanged for a squirt gun!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter all! Mommy wanted to post photos of me hunting my "eggs" aka Science Diet TD treats, but when we woke up this morning a warm sunbeam sent me right to my scratching post and I've been there ever since.


The birds and squirrels are loving the suet mommy put out extra. She has suet cages for the birds, but today she chunked up some suet squares for the squirrels. They love the extra food and I love the entertainment.

Hopefully later I'll be able to post some photos of my "easter hunt."

This is a special Easter treat I'm sending sweet Brandi and her mommy.

Friends on Friday

A sad start to the morning came when we read that our friend Smudge went to the Bridge. Please stop by and leave his family some kind works.

My friends over at PB & J's (Pearl, Bert & Jake) sent me a cool package for knowing lots about them! Mommy brought it in when she got home from hunting and gathering yesterday. It smelled so good!!

could it be? could it?

it is! it is! fresh grown nip! mmmmmmmmmm

mmmmm nip on a plate is soooooooooooo good. i can't wait to put it on a scratchy mat.














Oh man, did anyone else hear that? I think it's the Feds.

And for all you Bendrix fans out there...one of him high on nip scratching the carpet.

Thanks to Pearl, Bert & Jake and their beans for such a fun night. I also got a great toy mouse (see photo of me and daddy playing below) and nummy Whisker Lickens that are both soft...AND crunchy! nom nom nom

Wordless Wednesday - Pork Loin

Tuckered out On Tuesday - & a Meme!

Hi all. I am sooooooooooo tired from all the great parties and telyporting I did yesterday. Whew! Everyone did a fantastic job on their parties and Bendrix and I had so much fun. It is a rainy day made for sleep today. I plan on sleeing all day after I do the MeMe my pretty meezer friend Scout tagged me for.

Here is how it works:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.

2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

I am named for the great guitarist Jimi Hendrix. His birth middle name was "Allen" but his daddy changed his middle name to Marshall when he was four. That is the name he carried with him throughout his life. I know I'm in trouble when mommy yells "James Marshall Hendrix you get down from there!" or "James Marshall Hendrix you stop scratching right now!" You get the idea. I like being called "Hendrix" for short. I am also sometimes called "Mr. Hendrix" like at the VET or when I write for the blogosphere. It sounds more professional.

M: Mancat. I try hard to be a "good" Mancat, but with an Evil Alter Ego, that is hard.
A: Appreciative. I am appreciative of having a warm and loving home after being a feral for the first 2 years of my life.
R: Ruckus. What Bendrix causes when I don't keep a close eye on him.
S: Snuggly. But on my own terms - meaning I will snuggle only with mommy and only in bed at night - or - on the sofa (If she pretends to be asleep - not if she is reading) if mommy has an afghan on her legs.
H: Handsome. Mommy tells me I'm handsome all the time and I have a tendency to agree with her.
A: Amazing. As a House Panther, I am naturally talented at whatever I try my paw at. Cards, Craps, Pool playing, playing string toys, getting into trouble.
L: Lightweight. No matter what mommy and daddy say, I am NOT a weeble. I am svelte and trim. Really. Don't laugh. I am svelte!
L: Loveable. As a former feral, it took a lot of time and a lot of patience for me to get here. Even after I would let my mommy and daddy pet me, I never let visitors near me. After mommy and daddy showed me the people who came over are nice (especially with grandparents) by giving them treats to give me, I now know that visitors are here to see me, pet me, feed me and compliment me.

So that is my middle name Meme!

I have to tag eight kitties! Wow! I wonder who hasn't been tagged....I'll go with the following and hope they haven't been tagged. If you haven't been tagged yet, remember, Bendrix gets his own list so consider yourself tagged by him!
Gandalf & Grayson
my sweet Brandi
William of Mass Destruction
Jack & Persephone
Diamond Emerald Eyes

I hope you all had as much fun on St. Patrick's Day as Bendrix and I did!

O'Hendrix's St. Patty's Day

I'm all ready to attend all the wonderful parties going on around the blogosphere today! I have my brand new light up green tie on (you can't see the middle of it blinking in these pictures) that just screams fun. I also have my "Its great to be Irish mug" for Bendrix and I to enjoy many, many niptinis out of.
Here I am posing with my cool St. Patty's Day outfit on!


Here I am sniffing the nip that was in the mug.


mmmmm good stuff


Here is Bendrix posing with our new outfit on. He doesn't look as happy as I did. Maybe a niptini or two, or three will help. He is always up for a party!

Thursday Thinking

I am thinking all those people who say this are right. If you don't like the weather in Cincinnati, just wait a couple of days, it'll change!
