We at CatSynth welcome everyone to Weekend Cat Blogging #194! We’re excited to be hosting again, and have been busy getting prepared.
To participate, please leave you link in the comments, and we will include you in the big roundup on Sunday.
We are dedicating this edition to Socks Clinton, the former “First Cat”, who passed away this week at the venerable age of 20.
(February 20, 2009) Word tonight that Socks Clinton, the one-time Arkansas stray adopted by the Clintons who rose to international prominence and literary fame as sole feline inhabitant of the White House, died today.
Butch, Jules, and Vincent use their Weekend Cat Blogging to pay their respect to Socks.
Meowza shows some leg this fine Caturday. Meanwhile, Cece feigns innocence at iInfidel.
LB and Breadchick Mary have been lazy this weekend. But not really, as time away from work for ourselves is important. LB enjoys relaxing by the sofa and subwoofer. And we at CatSynth really like the header for the The Sour Dough.
Most of us are eagerly anticipating the transition from winter to spring, and for Smudge of sidewalk shoes, that means patiently waiting for the catnip.
Maruschka poses elegantly (and sleepily) at Rosa’s Yummy Yums, with an accompanying quote on being a cat.
Babeth presents Happy Hour, a tale of cats’ sleeping habits, at House of Chaos.
We go from sleeping habits to playing habits at Gattina’s, where Rosie has adopted a toy turtle as her new doll.
Samantha and Tigger are basking in the sunshine at Life from a Cat’s Perspective. Together with Granddaughterbean, they are a quite a trio, enjoying the warmth. We could use a bit of warmth here in the midst of our cold rainstorms – but we do need the rain in California.
Kashim, Othello and Salome are feeling a bit neglected this weekend, as their mama has been out celebrating her birthday as well as other human social activities. Clearly, those are lower priority than spending time with kitty cats. On a happy note, Kashim’s paws have nicely after his unfortunate accident a couple of weeks ago.
Tillie is being lazy in the sun over at Mickey’s Musings. Meanwhile, Mickey and Georgia are being lazy somewhere else, and their mom is “laziest of all”, as she hardly helped the cats blog all weekend. However, she did help them participate in WCB, and we’re glad to have our friends from Nova Scotia join us!
That concludes this Weekend Cat Blogging for now. Thanks to everyone who participated, and we will continue to post entries through Monday as we receive them.
This weekend, you can also visit the Carnival of the Cats at When Cats Attack, and the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos with Samantha and Tigger at Life from a Cat’s Perspective. And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
Thanks for hosting. Luna looks purrrrty on that chair. My entry is http://imeowza.com/2009/02/21/caturday-leg/

Luna is a pretty cat, more Luna please.
Both LB and I have been really lazy this morning and besides some updating to The Sour Dough, like a new header for the blog, we haven’t done anything productive: http://breadchick.blogspot.com/2009/02/lazy-saturday-morning-in-sun.html
Thanks for hosting and for sharing the lovely photo! Butch, Jules, and Vincent decided to defer their weekend blog to Socks, First Cat of the Clinton White House, who passed away on Friday. Obit and video can be found at http://judi-mindovermatter.blogspot.com/2009/02/weekend-cat-blogging-194.html. Judi
I agree with Judi, that is a lovely photo! And thanks for hosting.
My entry is Smudge waiting oh-so-patiently for the catnip to reemerge:

This looks like fun. Can we join in next time? What do we do? Blog on a weekend day? Our blog is at http://www.lepak.com/katztales.html
Socks was a great cat. And I like the way the Clintons took in a stray rather than buy a pedigree. Notice how all president dogs are pedigrees? I wonder why that is…
Hi Catsynth
Am I at the the ‘Cats on Tuesday’ site? I think I got confused last week and went to other blogs..Haha!
Those eyes sure tells mischief! Can we hear the song he played? lol
How could that happen ! I missed this post and you are in my Google Reader !
Yes I read that Socks has passed away that inspired me for my cartoon.
