Treats and Toes

On a cool, crisp Autumn day when mommy is working from home, it is hard to get out of bed. Especially when I know if I wait long enough, I'll get my breakfast stinky goodness in bed.



And, for your viewing pleasure...a blurry tongue grooming photo.



Mommy wants me to tell you all how much she appreciates all your birthday wishes!! You're all so sweet

Midnight Monday

Well, mommy survived her birthday weekend. She did not recover well from "girls night out" as fast as she used to. I enjoyed the time she was on the couch, which turned out to be most of the day! ha ha ha

A smart House Panther knows when NOT to follow their beans to the bathroom. ha ha ha

Here is a picture of us before she and daddy went out for her actual birthday Sat. night. I was very glad she brushed her teeths. ha ha ha



Be sure to see my entry in the Frisky Fall Contest held by Billy Sweetfeets, and Sammy and Miles
The deadline has been extended so get your entries in and help raise money for needy kitties!!

Happy Birthday Mommy

My mommy is 33 years old today!!! That is much older than me. I know I keep you up at night, and will never let you pet my tummy, but I love ya mommy.

Here are some flowers I got you.




BTW, I know I'm not a bean, but aren't you supposed to wake up hungover tomorrow? Not today right? Go back to bed and have some more saltines.

Frightening Friday

When the batteries on the smoke alarms go out at 4:00am and your beans have to change ALL of them because the alarms are on a circuit, at 4:00am, and your daddy is on a ladder in your litterbox room and accidentally pulls a wire out and the thing is beeping and he is cursing and trying to put the wire back in...be sure to go in the litterbox and drop a big stinky deuce.

Daddy's love that. snicker.

Hey, those alarms were loud! I got all bushed up like a Halloween cat and the beans were running around and it scared the sh#t outta me. Not my fault.

Hey Buddah, how was my run on sentence???

Thinking I'll Never Show my Face Again

I've been thinking I should keep this a secret. I've been thinking that you never really know someone no matter how long you live with them. I thought I knew my mommy...and then it happened.

Mommy was working from home and around 11:25 flipped on channel 5 to catch the end of Rachel Ray because she needed a brain break.

She squealed like nothing I'd ever heard before. Something like a 14 year old girl.

She squealed because (sob) these guys were coming on.


I'm named for Jimi Hendrix, my beans have seen the Rolling Stones and Tom Petty multiple times. Mommy has seen Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, James Taylor in concert and even has Nine Inch Nails on her Ipod. She told me that if these guys (I will NOT say their name)come to Cincinnati that she and her friend are "totally there."



I need some niptinis and a lot of nip to even try and wrap my brain around this. I'm staying under here until mommy goes gets some mental help. This is even worse than her admitting she is a Bengals fan!


You all still respect me right?? Right??

Wicked Wednesday

Wow! Look at what the lovely and talented

Diamond Emerald Eyes made for me! Thank you Diamond!



I love it! It is very spooky and wicked. Perfect for a Halloween cat like me!

Now I have to get a pose together for the Simply Siamese Fall Contest

Mommy and I have also discussed a Halloween costume for Skeezy's contest. I think this may be one I can get behind...

Tattle Tail Tuesday

Hendrix here, I just want to say I'm not "tattling" on anyone. I'm just here to tell a story.

In 2007 my daddy gave my mommy two new Spooky Town Village Houses. A saloon and a prison. Bendrix did NOT like the idea of the prison. It made him nervous.

Bendrix also likes to chew things. Cord type things. Usually mommy sprays everything, including the Villages with "Bitter Apple" to prevent it.

Here is a picture from last year's village...


Here is a photo of...ahem, Bendrix on the Village this year. Please note where the prison is (circled) where the cord is (blue arrow) and where a certain kitty's eyes are. It is important to note, that mommy forgot to spray the cords this year.


(click to biggify)

When mommy went to turn the Village on on Sunday, she heard a "pop" and smoke started coming from the prison. Yes, really there was smoke. There are no pictures because mommy unplugged it quick and called daddy and moved the house off the cloth.

Somehow, there was a charge that zapped the Prison house. Somehow.

You know, I read in one of mommy's books that when put in a room for questioning, the innocent are generally very nervous, fidgety. The guilty are calm, cool and relaxed...


Bendrix here "We also know when to ask for a lawyer..."

I'm not "tattling" on anyone. Really.

Bendrix would like to dedicate this post to the tortie tornado Faith Bomerang who turns one year old today!

Midnight Monday

So, Saturday I was abandoned again. My beans went to a local farm to run the Corn Maze, feed the farm animals and get pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. Mommy said they don't let kitties go there. I was NOT happy because, once again, I was not included.


BUT, then it happened...they brought me home my own pumpkin! I've never had my own pumpkin before. I will love it and pet it and kiss it and squeeze it and I will call it George. So, they are forgiven...for now.





I posted this one especially for Miles.

Tune in tomorrow for Bendrix's Tattle Tail "Wasn't Me" Tuesday Extravaganza....there aren't many pictures...but you'll get the point

BTW, for those who saw Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night, that was our local family! The Elementary School (Hopewell) they showed is the one my daddy went to. We drive by it all the time. Also, the huge American Flag hanging on the building was not just for the show. They have hung a giant flag there since soon after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and each year, put up white crosses to honor those who died.

Special Sunday

Today is a very special Sunday. On ABC tonight, the Extreme Makeover Home Edition that was filmed right here in West Chester, Ohio airs! This family lives 1 mile from my grandbeans and 2 miles from mommy's work! Very very close.

You can read all about them in my original post HERE on my July 15th post. Mommy went and watched the house be built and said it was sooooooo cool. If they ever come to your town, be sure to go!

Mommy's friend Annette took the day off work in July for "Move that Bus" day and since she was right by the rope where the family was during the big reveal, she'll be on TV. Mommy is going to her Extreme Makeover party tonight.

Many purrs to the The Akers family!!!!

PS Mommy promises to get some pictures of me up soon, and help me visit more this week. Her big big project is due Tuesday and then the other big project by the end of the week.

Finally Friday

Here they are! Lovely pictures of my sweet lady cat Brandi as Queen of Spooky Town.

Here she is graciously thanking the pirate minions for the lovely crown they, um, aquired just for her.



We had a lot of fun in the Village on Wednesday. The pirates brought her treats and treasures, and the cowboys in the saloon toasted my lady and the little trick or treating minions brought her treats! I can't wait until November so we can stroll thru my Christmas Village.

Also, my talented friends at The Cat Realm gave me a great award! Premio Dardos Award! Yup, we can't pronounce it, but we like it.
"With the Premium Dardos, recognize the values that each blogger shows each day in commitment to transmit cultural values, ethical, literary, personal etc. that, in short, demonstrate their creativity by alive thinking that remains intact from their letters and words."


duh, mommy forgot to halp me give my award away. This is soooooo hard because there are so many talented kitties and beans on the blogosphere. We'll pass this on to:

Karen Jo for her fantastic limmericks
Sassy Cat Little for her contributions to CCSI
Sophia for helping her mommy with snuggles
Dorfington Fish Stanley for his excellent quality control of the Forty Paws Hammock
and Rocky and the entire Artsy Catsy Gang for their hard work in creating beautiful pieces that help raise money for needy kitties.
