Today we feature Truffle and Brulee of Sweet Purrfections, who happened to be posing last week with a digital piano. I am pretty sure the piano is a Yamaha YPP 200. First, we have Truffle:
And now Brulee:
In their own words:
We love the keyboard in Mom Paula’s office. The keys are softer than the piano keys in the living room and the bench is cushioned (not like the wooden one at the piano). Brulee is trying to show Mom Paula a few things about playing the piano.
A music video this morning, via matrixsynth:

Look for the white cat Gilbert about 2 minutes into the video. Also look for the bowed electric bass. There are also some interesting moments with line drawings and costuming (particularly the pink and white outfit), as well as a few gear shots with Jomox, Korg, etc.
For this year’s holiday edition of Weekend Cat Blogging, we have scenes from our rather casual observance of Hanukkah.
Luna inspects the iPad-based menorah after the fourth night (which happened on Friday). The iPad app is from an Israeli studio, and has simulated oil flames rather than candle flames. It has the traditional prayer in Hebrew, which I cannot read particularly well – growing up, we either said it in English or from transliteration.
We do have a real menorah as well, but Luna is not allowed near it. You can see it in this post from the past.
Luna did get some new toys to play with. She is quite fond of the catnip-filled variety.
Weekend Cat Blogging #342 is hosted by Jules and Vincent, at Judi’s Mind Over Matter. Check out their great black-and-white photos.
Carnival of the Cats will be hosted tomorrow by Billy SweetFeets.
The Friday Ark is off this week for the holidays.
No, that is not Luna. Our own holiday video would probably be a bit more Hannukah themed.

Here’s another picture of Giuliano, the macbook was currently running Apple Mainstage, there’s a small modular rig (Mostly Doepfer modules, with some MFB) and an Akai mpk 25 (not sure about the name). He was mostly interested in the patch cables in the red basket…
Each year, the San Francisco SPCA teams up with Macy’s in San Francisco to feature adoptable pets in the holiday window displays at their main store in Union Square. And we at CatSynth present some of the cats that are featured in the windows and available for adoption.
The windows featured a theme this year that appeared to me as a series of gears and old machinery. It turns out that the theme is in fact “Make a Wish” and the machinery represents a “wish factory”. Clearly the wishes here are for loving homes for all the adoptable animals.
The program is always popular with visitors to busy Union Square. And it has been quite successful, placing many animals in homes and raising funds for the San Francisco SPCA’s many other programs.
The holiday windows continue through January 1, with different animals rotating through each day. If you are in San Francisco this holiday season, I encourage you to check it out. Those who aren’t going to be in the area can still enjoy the displays via the live video feeds.
You can find out more about Macy’s SF SPCA Holiday Windows at this website, including hours, volunteer opportunities, and donation information.

I feel like I must have already posted this one, and yet I can’t find it. So here it is.
Also, I encourage readers to check out yesterday’s review of the Bronx Museum in New York.
For Weekend Cat Blogging and the Photo Hunt, we preset this photo of Luna with stripes of light.
This was once again taken with the Hipstamatic on the iPhone, using relatively simple lens and film effects that bring out the light.
Weekend Cat Blogging #340 is hosted by Pam at Sidewalk Shoes, with help from Coco.
The Saturday PhotoHunt has a new home. This week’s theme is Lights. Thank you to tnchick for hosting over the past years.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this weekend by Samantha, Clementine and Maverick at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
