This weekend, we have another combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt. The theme this week is square. Geometric shapes, including squares, abound at CatSynth HQ. But with the exceptionally gorgeous weather, we turn our attention once again to the patio:
The patio is covered in square slate tiles on which Luna enjoys rolling around. We are still doing some work to fix things up for spring now the construction is in the past. New design ideas to emphasize the industrial and geometric aesthetic.
This weekend we are also joining our friends the Three Tabby Cats in Vienna ~ Kashim, Othello and Salome ~ in a Weekend of Remembrance. We participated when they hosted a similar weekend back in 2007, lighting a candle like this one.
As we have made more friends online, so we have also lost many friends. We said goodbye to Mickey only a few weeks ago. Last year, we lost DJ Kikovas, the feline companion of our friend and fellow electronic musician Vivi Pedraglio. We also said goodbye to Tali and Sniffie. It is interesting to look back and see the diverse collection of people, mixture of musicians, engineers and cat lovers, who cross paths in these stories. We have also lost many heroes in music, art and mathematics in this same period of time; and some personal friends. We remember them as well.
Our thoughts for all our friends who lost love ones (human and non-human) over the past year, and for those who are struggling in the current storms in southeastern U.S., recovering from the disaster in Japan, and living through the seemingly greater number conflicts around the world.
Weekend Cat Blogging #308 is hosted by Samantha and Clementine at Life From a Cat’s Perspective. They are dedicating their post in remembrance of Praline.
Photo Hunt #263 is hosted by tnchick. This week’s theme is SQUARE.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up tomorrow at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
We are also remembering our furriends at The Bridge along with our little Georgia, brofurs and sisfur.
So many gone, but always remembered and we will meet again.
((hugs))

Luna reminds me so much of our Maya 🙂 Love this choice for the square theme 🙂
Oh Luna looks so lovely on the tiles. It is a nice way to honor the memory of all who were lost with this post over the weekend. SO many….
Luna, you look real good there!
Luna makes a great model for tiles! 😀
We send our thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by recent natural calamities.
We love the candles in memory of all our beloved companions–such a beautiful way to honour them!
Luna looks terrific on those tiles…and the mom really likes the tiles themselves too! 🙂
The patio stones are square, but lovely Luna adds some softness to the scene 😉
It is always good to remember our friends, they all enrich our lives, and we honour
them by remembering them .

I love your patio. It looks great and your cat sure looks happy.
Hi pretty Luna.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the families who have lost their kitties.
Luna, you’re looking great (as always). Thank you guys for remembering those who came before. We have our candle lit this weekend, too.
Nice roundup. We cant’ visit much as our connection is terrible.
We’re taking a break. Back in 3 weeks.
