CatSynth video: Stella Meets the Monotron, Part 2
The second part of Stella’s encounter with the Korg Monotron, as submitted to our facebook page by vlern.
We can thank Stella and my colleagues at Outsound for the fact that I am going ahead and getting a Monotron for my live-music rig.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Talking and Heatwave
Luna is often quite talkative in the morning. Recently, she started launching into a long monologue while I had my iPhone handy to capture it.
Of course, she gets some scritches at the end. I am always curious what it is she is trying to say.
It has been quite warm the last few days in San Francisco, and CatSynth HQ always tends to run a bit hotter than its surroundings.
Luna tries to balance lying in the sun while trying to stay a bit cool in her fur suit.
Tomorrow (October 16) is National Feral Cat Day (who knew?).
Alley Cat Allies launched National Feral Cat Day on our 10th anniversary in 2001 to raise awareness about feral cats, promote Trap-Neuter-Return, and recognize the millions of compassionate Americans who care for them.
Events will be taking place around the United States to demonstrate compassion and support humane treatment of all cats. Follow the link to the map to see if there is an event near you. I also like the poster.
Weekend Cat Blogging #332 is hosted by Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind Over Matter. Jules is looking very Luna-like in his black-and-white portrait 🙂
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at iMeowza.

CatSynth pic: Stella meets the Monotron, Part 1
First of two videos submitted by vlern via facebook. It looks like he has a new kitten, Stella. Looks like she’s a bit wary of the Monotron, though.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Luna and Apple
The influence of Apple and Steve Jobs extends deep into this site and into our lives at CatSynth HQ. For today’s Weekend Cat Blogging, we look at a few of the many photos of Luna with Apple computers and devices:
This last photo is one of our many taken with the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone. Indeed, most of the photos, even those not taken with an iPhone, are processed on a MacBook or Mac Pro. Nearly all of the writing is done on a MacBook, and occasionally on an iPad. The technology of Apple has become ubiquitous, even down to blogs featuring cats.
Weekend Cat Blogging #331, is hosted by pam at Sidewalk Shoes, where Smudge says Happy Fall to everyone.
Carnival of the Cats will be up tomorrow at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
CatSynth video: circuit bent doomsday device analog synth
From SuperRoss007 on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
Warning: the sound from this circuit-bent device is quite loud and high-pitched. But the cat seems quite nonchalant about the whole thing, casually cleaning herself/himself during the performance.
Luna is a bit like that as well when I fire up even the more esoteric musical gear.
