Sometimes we feature cats with instruments that are more analog than analog.
If you have cat-and-music videos, you can share them with us via facebook, Twitter @catsynth, or by contacting us.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Gotcha Day Report
As regular readers know, last Monday, June 10, was Luna’s Gotcha Day. Thanks to everyone who sent her warm wishes. She certainly enjoyed her day.
We also made a special dinner that we could share together. These fish cakes, from the book Meow Chow are both quite delicious and safe for cats:
Luna was quite excited by the aroma of the fish cooking. And then it was time for her to enjoy her share:
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Nikita and Elvira at The Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Happy Gotcha Day, Luna!
Today, June 10, is the eighth anniversary of Luna’s adoption, otherwise known as her “gotcha day.” We woke up to find this wonderful graphic waiting at The Cat Blogosphere:
After eight years, Luna continues to make every day a delight I certainly hope I do the same for her.
We will celebrate this evening, but in the meantime, please join me in wishing Luna a Happy Gotcha Day!
Weekend Cat Blogging: Luna and the Blue Fish
Luna still loves her blue fish toy. She carries it around like a teddy bear and cuddles with it. Here is a short video of her play with it – stick around for the end to hear her voice.
If your cat has a favorite toy like, we’d love to hear about it.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by Ritzi at iInfidel.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
