Weekend Cat Blogging: Good News from PAWS
We at CatSynth were inspired by our friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life and all the wonderful photos of the shelter cats at PAWS in Connecticut and made a donation late last year. We ended up sponsoring a cat named Toni.
It turns out Toni was featured on Animal Shelter Volunteer Life back in November, but we didn’t make the connection. But I was reminded about Toni this past week when I received a note from PAWS saying the she was adopted! This is of course the best news for a shelter cat, and for us to know that the sponsorship is no longer needed because she found a home.
As we have mentioned many times on this site, Luna was also adopted from a shelter. Please consider adopting a shelter cat or rescue cat in your community if you are looking for a new companion.
Carnival of the Cats will be hosted tomorrow by Socks & Scylla.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

CatSynth Video: Apocalypse, Urgency and Chaos & Synth Cat
From hadesofspades·3 on YouTube, via matrixsynth, where you can find an additional video.
“What Apocalypse? Silly Mayans.
Here’s another performance on my Korg EMX1SD, Kaossilator Pro and Kaoss pad Quad. This time the Kpro has some reverb applied to it on my Behringer NOX606 mixer (not in frame), which I think sounds outstanding!
Once again, a couple of minor mistakes here and there, but I’m happy
with it!More music to come!
Thanks for listening and liking ;)”

This cat has quite the collection in this Eurorack modular system. I see several modules that I have as well, including the Make Noise Maths, and 4ms Pingable Envlope Generator. I also have the outboard version of the Kenton MIDI->CV converter.
Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt with Luna: Promises
We have another exceptionally cute Instagram of Luna this week:
This is another instance of our morning ritual where I put on my shoes – indicating that I am probably about to leave – and Luna comes running over and rolls around on the rug. She clearly wants me to stay and play with her, but the best I can do is promise to come back later. This leads to a roundabout entry in this week’s Photo Hunt, where the theme is Promise.
The Saturday Photo Hunt is up, with the theme of Promise.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Nikita and Elvira.
