The Cat’s Whiskers Hall of Fame was first published in Issue #4 in February 2002. A committee of fans got together to choose the inductees, of which there were five before the fanzine ceased publication in 2003. The Hall of Fame was revived when the online version of The Cat’s Whiskers went live in May 2008. Four more inductees were added in 2009 to bring the total number of members to nine.
The committee met to choose new inductees who meet the following criteria:
- Nominees must have played for, coached or been part of the Panthers organisation for at least two full seasons
- Nominated players or coaches must have left the club for at least one full season
- Nominated players must be retired
- Anyone connected with the Panthers can be nominated
