Felix, a cat we adopted from a neighbor in Maricopa, lies on Phoenix, smothering that city and Tempe, Chandler, and Mesa. Maybe Scottsdale too. Other than his tendency to destroy cities, he is a cool cat and I'm his Cat Daddy.

"Iron Felix"... In the Soviet Union called the chief security officer of the USSR Felix Dzerzhinsky. :0)))
Felix enjoying a chat with one of his friends. He was poorly this week, and spent 2 nights in hospital having antibiotics for a virus, but he's home now and smiling again. And he'll be three months old tomorrow. So I thought I'd allow myself an upload of the little man to celebrate.

German stage and screen actor Felix Bressart (1892–1949) had to flee Germany after the Nazis seized power. He continued his film career in Austria and later in the US, where he became a popular character actor for MGM.
Felix Bressart (pronounced Bress-ert) was born in Eydtkuhnen in East Prussia, Germany, now Chernyshevskoe, Russia, in 1892. He got acting lessons from Maria Moissi in Berlin and made his stage debut at the Stadttheater Würzburg in the autumn of 1914. After World War I, he made a stage tour through Bavaria. From 1922 on he worked at the Deutsche Theater Hannover, at the Albert-Theater in Dresden, and from 1925 on at the Theater in der Josefstadt under Max Reinhardt. In 1927 the character comedian moved to Berlin to appear in theatres and cabarets. There he also made his film debut in the comedy Liebe im Kuhstall/Love in Kuhstall (Carl Froelich, 1928) with Henny Porten. He started off in the cinema as a supporting actor in films like Es gibt eine Frau, die dich niemals vergißt (Leo Mittler, 1930) starring Lil Dagover, and the Mountain film Der Sohn der weißen Berge/The Son of the White Mountain (Mario Bonnard, Luis Trenker, 1930). For the Ufa, he played the Bailiff in the box-office hit Die Drei von der Tankstelle/The Three from the Filling Station (1930), directed by Wilhelm Thiele and starring Willy Fritsch, Lilian Harvey and Heinz Rühmann. He also co-starred in Thiele’s musical Die Privatsekretärin/The Private Secretary (Wilhelm Thiele, 1931) with Renate Müller and Hermann Thimig. He co-starred with Anny Ondra in Eine Freundin so goldig wie Du/A cute girlfriend like you (Carl Lamac, 1930). Soon he established himself in leading roles of minor films, including Der Schrecken der Garnison/Terror of the Garrison (Carl Boese, 1931), Holzapfel weiß alles/Holzapfel knows everything (Victor Janson, 1932), and Goldblondes Mädchen, ich schenk Dir mein Herz (Rudolph Bernauer, 1932) with Charlotte Ander. After the Nazis seized power in 1933, Jewish-born Bressart had to leave Germany and continued his career in German-speaking movies in Austria, where Jewish artists were still relatively safe. In Switzerland he appeared in Wie d'Warret würkt/How the truth works (Walter Lesch, 1933), in France in C'était un musicien/Once there was a musician (Maurice Gleize, Frederic Zelnik, 1933) starring Fernand Gravey, and in Austria in Salto in die Seligkeit/ Somersault into bliss (1934, Fritz Schulz). He worked at Peter (1934) starring Franziska Gaal for the European division of Universal with émigré director Hermann Kösterlitz (aka Henry Koster) and producer Joe Pasternak. Bressart made 30 European films in eight years.
Producer Joe Pasternak invited Felix Bressart to come to Hollywood. Bressart's first American film was Three Smart Girls Grow Up (1939, Henry Koster), a vehicle for Universal Pictures' top attraction, Deanna Durbin. Pasternak also selected the reliable Bressart to perform in a screen test opposite Pasternak's newest discovery, Gloria Jean. The influential German community in Hollywood helped to establish Bressart in America. Bressart scored a great success in Ernst Lubitsch's Ninotchka (1939), produced at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. MGM signed Bressart to a studio contract in 1939. Lubitsch also directed Bressart to similar effect in the romantic comedy The Shop Around the Corner (1940) with James Stewart. Most of his MGM work consisted of featured roles in major films like Edison, the Man (Clarence Brown, 1940) and Blossoms in the Dust (Mervyn LeRoy, 1941) starring Greer Garson. He combined his mildly inflected East European accent with a soft-spoken delivery to create kindly, friendly characters, as in Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942), in which he sensitively recites Shylock's famous ‘Hath not a Jew eyes?’ speech from The Merchant of Venice. Bressart soon became a popular character actor in films like The Seventh Cross (1944, Fred Zinnemann), and Without Love (Harold S. Buquet, 1945), starring Spencer Tracy. Perhaps his largest role was in RKO Radio Pictures' B musical comedy Ding Dong Williams (1945). Bressart, billed third, played the bemused supervisor of a movie studio's music department, and appeared in formal wear to conduct Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu. After almost 40 Hollywood pictures, Felix Bressart suddenly died of leukemia at the age of 57. His last film was My Friend Irma (George Marshall, 1949), the movie version of a popular radio show. Bressart died during production, forcing the producers to finish the film with Hans Conried. In the final film, Conried speaks throughout, but Bressart is still seen in the long shots. Felix Bressart was married to Frieda Lehner.

Cartoon character Felix the Cat has been associated with Felix Chevrolet ever since the early 1920's. That dealership with its famous sign has been located in the Exposition Park area of Los Angeles since 1958.
This statue of Felix is located at a specialty auto sales facility in Carson, California.

Felix Romuliana was built as a retirement home for emperor Galerius. When Diocletian created the tetrarchy the idea was to restore the Roman Empire by increasing the number of emperors so they could deal with problems on different fronts. There was a college of four emperors, two Augusti and two Caesars, and every ten years the Augusti would elevate their Caesars, put new ones in their place, and retire. This worked exactly once. And then Constantine's father died and he decided he wanted to become emperor in his place. So everything went to hell.
Galerius was Diocletian's Caesar and when the old man retired he became the senior Augustus. He had some successes, but ultimately he oversaw the collapse of the tetrarchic government. He's best known for being the force behind the Great Persecution, where the empire made one last attempt to exterminate Christianity. For that reason we get a wonderful description of Galerius' death from a Christian writer called Lactantius explaining how God placed maggots in the great persecutor's bowels and they ate him up from the inside. Lovely. One of the last acts before he died was to issue an edict of toleration in 311, officially ending the persecution.
The imperial retirement home was uniquely tetrarchic type of architecture. Diocletian built himself a retirement home that is now the core of his hometown of Split. His co-Augustus Maximian presumably built a similar one somewhere else, either in Italy or near his hometown of Sirmium (now covered under the city of Sremska Mitrovica). Maximinus Daza built a smaller one with a mausoleum in the isolated site of Šarkamen. Galerius' is the best preserved. Galerius may have been born in Felix Romuliana, although other sources identify his birthplace as Serdica (Sophia). One thing seems clear: he never had the chance to retire here. He was buried here along with his mother Romula, after whom the site was named, on a hill called Magura above the site. There are two mausoleums and burial mounds which mark the site where Galerius and his mum were deified.
This lovely fluffy cat (Felix) is resident at Huddersfield train station. He sat at this kiosk and reached his paw right through to behind the counter. The man gave him some paper to rip up. Looked like a fun game!
