We at CatSynth are happy to be hosting Carnival of the Cats this weekend. For those who have no idea what this is, Carnival of the Cats is a long-running weekly round-up of cat-related blog posts from around the internet. All blog authors with cat posts from the past week are encouraged to participate using the handy submission form, or by leaving us a comment below.
As usual, we’re off to a slow start this Sunday. But with plenty of coffee and our eclectic music in the background, we are ready to begin.
We open with a sentimental post from Ellison of Lost in the Cheese Aisle. While Haukna sits quietly, it looks like she is being watched over by the late Matata on an electronic frame, while we imagine Gershwin’s classic in the background.
Good news from our friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life. Long time shelter resident Bootz has found a new home. It’s always nice to hear about more mature cats being adopted, and wish him well.
We loved reading this post from Catsparella about fashion photographer Kristina Wilson and her fondness for cats. It was interesting read, lots of great pictures, and that first photo from Tokion Magazine is quite inspiring (not sure if the cat in the photo agrees, though).
At Gattina’s My Cats and Funny Stories, Rosie investigates one of the cat figurines in the garden. She ponders whether this is in fact a dead cat, but after learning that it made of stone, decides it is a good place to rest.
At Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat, Nikita and Elvira are helping their Dad heal from a serious ankle injury. As one can see, it is quite an exhausting task. We are glad that their Dad Kiril is on the mend. They also want to thank everyone who has sent good wishes and healing thoughts.
StrangeRanger presents this study in black and white in lieu of “scintillating prose.” It seems they have been busy tilling the earth and thus quite tired out. We are of course fond of wordless images here at CatSynth, so welcome this “place holder” post.
Over at Mind of Mog, we have an exercise in contrasts. Ritzi enjoys her spot on the sofa covers while Meowza enjoys rolling in the dirt. He is also out enjoying a nice Sunday morning before it gets too hot outside. That is something we definitely don’t have to worry about here this Sunday.
UPDATES: Samantha and Clementine share some glamor shots to share with us for the carnival. Visit their site for the full-size versions.
Finally, Nikita Cat asks the question “do cats watch too much TV?” There are reasons for and against watching television, with the observation that cats experience the images from this popular device differently. Read further to see the conclusions for yourself.
This concludes the carnival for this weekend! We will continue to add late entries for the remainder of Sunday (US Pacific time) so let us know if you would like to participate.
