My Name is Binx

So Many Things.......

Have happened in my life. First I entered in a photo contest of a group that I am a proud cat to be in. It is called Orange & White & We Look Alike! My pals in this group are just awesome. So they had a Fall Photo Contest and naturally, Mom entered me in it.

Secondly, my Dad has been in and out of one hospital and a week later, he was put back in again! You see, Dad has a bad heart. Some times the heart would beat fast and slow back to normal. Well for the past 3 weeks, the heart would not beat normal. Mom said something like his heart was beating like he ran a marathon and it wouldn't slow down at all. So Dad had to go into the hospital again to get the heart to beat normal. The doctor's had to do 2 types of procedures. One was to check for any blockages by going down into his throat with a scope to look for any blockage in the valves. Then the second procedure was to catheter him going into his high part of the leg (groin area) and slide it up into his chest and to his heart to "shock" the heart back to normal beating. With all that was said and done, Dad is now back home today and is very, very, tired. Mom will stay home from work to take care of Dad for a while.

Now getting back to the contest. I WON! Meow you all. I couldn't believe it. And the best part of winning this contest was the prize of $50.00 is going to a shelter that we know very well. I am so excited about the money going to the shelter. Baltimore City Animal Shelter in Balto. Md. in the area of Hampden is a great place and my mom grew up around in Hampden. So it was a good choice to send the money to.

I would like to thank my group for the contest and zealies. The money will be sent to a great place. Again, thank you all in the group. All the pictures were fantastic and everyone was a winner.

Cat Of The Week!

This has been an exciting week for me. Especially being a Manx Cat!
I got an p-mail from Catsters telling me concatulations on being pick as The Cat of The Week. Well, I was just in a daze. Ya know what I mean??? I was pacing back and forth at home waiting for meowmy to get home from work. (you see dad left the computer on and I got on it and started reading all of the p-mails from the group I belong in) When I saw the p-mail from Catster and re-read it again, I nearly fell off of the chair. I was racing back and forth in the house and I even let the two little mutts; Kimmy and Mollie play tag with me. It was so hard to stay still for meowmy. Well of course I had to.When meowmy came home from work, she saw that the computer was on and read the p-mail. Meowmy was in total shock too. She picked me up and looked right into my cat eyes and said "Binx I don't know what took them so long to notice you, but dang boy, you are one handsome dude and I'm glad that you came into our life here. You are indeed a special cat". She gives me knuckle taps on my head and then let me ride onto her shoulders. I'm still strung out by this. Thank you so much Catsters for choosing me as the Cat of The Week.

Binx, The Manx Cat

I WON !!!!

Meowmy and I were just checking out my site. Low and behold meowmy tells me that I won the Dogster Pot o Gold guessing game! How lucky is that!. I like to wish everyone who guess concatulations too for trying to guess how many was in that pot. Me being a very smart cat knows that it couldn't have been filled up with all that gold. Like I said, those little leprechauns are sure smart. MOL!
Again, thank you for the Lucky Leprechaun's Hat for winning the guessing game.
