I managed to get this photo of Luna sitting in front of a ledge overlooking the downstairs. I think she matches the works of art on the wall quite well.
Astute readers may recognize the large black painting from one of our reviews last October. See if you can pick out the artist.
Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted this weekend by The Meezers.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up on Sunday at iMeowza.

From I Can Has Cheezburger?:
We have actually seen this picture before (with a different lolcat caption). You can see the previous version here.
From Kevin Kelly of The Audio Playground Synthesizer Museum, via matrixsynth:
The Technos Acxel is an interesting synthesizer, based on manipulation of spectra in the frequency domain. This is something several of us have been doing in software for quite a while.
In addition to the Acxel and the Rhodes Chroma, I see an E-MU EMAX in the background.
From James Price, via matrixsynth:
“This is my mostly empty dotcom with my kitten, Button, inside.”
“dotcom” of course refers to the Synthesizers.com rack, which apparently doubles as a comfortable napping spot.
We would like to remind everyone that you can submit your own cat-and-music pictures via our online form, via facebook, or @catsynth on twitter.
Our first Weekend Cat Blogging of 2010 begins in grayscale:
Luna is on her favorite beanbag chair in a relatively clean studio. Nearby is a crate full of old audio interfaces – it seems we have quite a few E-MU, M-Audio and Digidesign interfaces, some in various states of disrepair or obsolescence. We rely on one or another of these portable interfaces for live shows.
Meanwhile, Luna drifts off to sleep…
Weekend Cat Blogging will be hosted by Pam at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Mind of Mog.

From Retribution Body on flickr, via matrixsynth:
“I’m very happy with the new rig. It’s very West Coast Serge / Buchla compared to the ARP, it’s a very different beast. I’m looking forward to doing some serious recording with it.”
“Once again, Ernie is very helpful.”
You can see more on the associated flickr set.
This weekend, we present some of the cats featured in the Macy’s SF/SPCA Holiday Windows. Every year during the holidays, 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.
Here are couple of kittens in one window:
and this handsome black cat:
Many passers-by in this busy shopping district were surprised and delighted by the live animals in the displays. We at CatSynth certainly hope that some of these animals, including the cats featured above, find new homes as a result of this program.
To find out more about the program, including when to see the animals and how you can contribute, please visit the official Macy’s SF/SPCA Holiday Windows site.
Weekend Cat Blogging #238 will be hosted by our friends at the House of the (Mostly) Black Cats.

Happy Holidays!
From softestthing on flickr:
There are several other pictures in the “kitteh can has moogs” series featuring Harrison (aka “harry potterbelly”). You can see the all of them here:
I realized that we have actually met this cat once before, in “kitteh can has modz”.
For this holiday edition of Weekend Cat Blogging, we present some of our images from Hunnukah, the Jewish festival that concludes at sundown tonight. Our menorah, not surprisingly, has both musical and modernist elements, with a band of musicians behind the candles.
As one can see, this was taken on the seventh night, which for a variety of scheduling reasons ended up being the main night on which we were able to celebrate. Luna received her gift, a blue fish toy – it is our personal tradition that designated Hannukah gifts have to be blue.
She seem to quite enjoy this toy, and immediately took to batting it around th floor; and play hunting with it by pushing it underneath the table and then pouncing on it. I was able to get some videos of her play:
Weekend Cat Blogging #237, Holiday Edition is being hosted by Samantha at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
