Panther's story:
As you have probably noticed, I am a member of a large Pride, so I can always find someone to romp with!
One of my best friends is my little brother, Bebop, who we adopted after he was injured and lost a back leg.
The Early Years -
Cat
of the Day - April 21, 2000
Note, he didn't
have his long coat yet!
|
I did my best to teach BeBop everything I knew about being a cat - playing, running up stairs, jumping, begging, etc., and now we both like to chase our little sister, Jasmine , all over the house!
|
I am
said to be very
"laid back," and although I'm not exactly sure
what that means, I do my best
to be a good lap cat and a great bed
partner! Oh, and pick up a
brush...I'm your's forever!
Born March 20, 1999

The heads of our Pride have discovered that
I am very computer literate, and I like helping
them "work." When they aren't looking though, I love to run
off with their pens and hide them
under the rug!
|
 Mom says I am very difficult to photograph - this is my classic look when I DON'T want my pic taken. I can be so totally regal! |
Panther the "Magnificent"
We should probably
point out that Panther presents himself as
Alpha Male in his pride; however, he
knows all too well that his
mother, Minkly, holds the ultimate position of Alpha
Female...
and she is quick to remind him should he lose sight of that fact!
