Weekend Cat Blogging #366: Morning Rituals
it’s another busy weekend ahead of us, so just have a quick post featuring our common morning rituals here at CatSynth HQ.
There is coffee (in a cat-themed mug), newspaper on the iPad, and of course Luna.
A big thank you to everyone who wrote in last weekend to wish Luna a happy Gotcha Day.
This weekend marks the 7th Anniversary of Weekend Cat Blogging. This special edition will be hosted by Kashim, Othello and Salome at PaulChens FoodBlog?!.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at iInfidel.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

A cat contemplates the rare E&MM Spectrum Synthesizer. Via matrxisynth, where you can see more photos.
“A Very rare opportunity to get a fully working Electronics and Music Maker Spectrum Synthersizer [sic]. These are like hens teeth. I built this in the seventies from a kit. All still in perfect working order with the original manual. A collectors item not to be missed. Please see my other listings as I am selling a Powertran Transedant 2000 in perfect condition…”

Happy Gotcha Day, Luna!
This Sunday (June 10) is Luna’s adoption anniversary, otherwise known as her “Gotcha Day”.
It has been seven years since I encountered her at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter and she chose me. Here is her official shelter photo:
Luna has of course grown up a lot over the years, but in some ways she hasn’t changed much. Here are some very recent Instagram photos of her:
Please join me in wishing Luna a happy 7th Gotcha Day!
