Luna enjoys a snooze in the studio this past Sunday. We had quite a warm weekend, close to 90F in our neighborhood.

Weekend Cat Blogging #206
Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted by…wait, it’s us! OK, reboot…
We at CatSynth are delighted to be hosting Weekend Cat Blogging #206!
We are ready to go, and unlike the special election here in California next week, we are looking forward to a large turn-out. To participate, please leave a link to your post as a comment, and we’ll add you to the round-up as the weekend progresses. As always, new cats and first-time participants are always welcome!
And so, let us begin.
We see Jules in silhouette in this photo from Judi’s Mind Over Matter. We at CatSynth are of course partial to black cats, but the window and the brick walls beyond also give this image a modern, urban feel.
Meanwhile, the M-Cats Club is having a birthday party for Mr. Tigger. Join us in wishing him a Happy 9th Birthday! Looks like quite a party, with friends, and sushi, but I’d watch out for that blue punch.
At the House of the (Mostly) Black Cats, Pepi is being a helpful mancat, helping his mom by keeping her calendar. This of course “shows off his midnight furs nicely, too.”
sidewalk shoes presents a portrait of Smudge, quite detailed and expressive, along with a quote about the consequences of scolding a cat.
Salome joins us from Vienna. “The Ladey” (aka Astrid) has been taking lots of photos, but hasn’t been helping the cats much with their blogging. But Salome does give a bit of a status update for Kashim and Othello as well.
We all know that cats can express their discontent through hissing and clawing. But so can humans. Indeed, the kitties at our family cat-a-blog found their mom fuming over a blog post demonstrating human irresponsibility in caring for pets.
We at CatSynth have a deep interest in mathematics, and so we were delighted to see Arthur and Rosie engaged in mathematical pursuits. More specifically, they are counting butterflies and apples, respectively. Of course, numbers can’t compete with a dangling tail for a cat’s attention. Follow the link to see what happens…
Maruschka is enjoying a lazy Sunday at Rosa’s Yummy Yums. It seems like a good plan, as our own Sunday morning unfolds.
Over at Cuisine Guylaine, it has been raining quite a bit, and the cats do their best to enjoy the garden from indoors. But Mr. Oliver does enjoy some time outside during a moment of brief sunshine.
We will continue to post entries as we receive them throughout the weekend, so do join us.

CatSynth pic: DJ Kikovas, with DJ Vivi Pedraglio
Today we feature recent photos from our friends in Argentina, DJ Kikovas and Vivi Pedraglio.
A self described “lady-beatmaker”, Vivi Pedraglio continues to create her live electronic music (with Kikovas’ assistantance) and perform in Buenos Aires and elsewhere. She has also been using an intriguing instrument, the kaolimba. You can hear more of her music at her website or MySpace.

CatSynth pics: Carbon111, Studio Revamp
From carbon111, via matrixsynth:
Spot the kitty in the picture?
Carbon111 is the author of the CatSynth motivational posters we presented back in February.
In the studio revamp post, they also have a “comfy chair” picture that reminds me of Luna curled up in her favorite chair here at CatSynth HQ.
And it looks like carbon111 recently completed a track entitled Luna.

Weekend Cat Blogging #205
Luna can be quite talkative and affectionate, as can be seen in this video:
She is always quite eager to greet me when I arrive home after work or a day out.
Weekend Cat Blogging #205 is being hosted by LB and BreadChick. LB isn’t lonely when BreadChick goes to work right now, because he has “mama breadchick” to keep him company. I sometimes think Luna might enjoy some company, as I am out and about so much these days.
The Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by Samantha and Mr. Tigger at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at…wow, it’s also Samantha and Mr. Tigger! Go figure.
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos #95
We at CatSynth have stepped in to host the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos this weekend.
If you would like to participate, please submit your post here or leave us a comment. And without further adieu, let us begin:
Willow has a new cat bed, which she seems to enjoy. It’s also a great perch for enjoying the view outside, and keeping an eye out for a certain orange intruder. We also wish Willow a happy “Gotcha Day” this past Friday.
By coincidence (?), China Cat also has a new bed, which actually quite resembles her coloration and markings. Looks like a great spot for curling up.
Cats can be simultaneously very serious and very playful as in the midst of a hunt. Rahel at Elms in the Yard recently encountered
Cuddling is the topic of the day at This, That and The Other Thing, where Cubby wants to snuggle with (and knead) his best bean buddy, TB.
Now we move onto cuddling of a different sort. Puddy is caught hugging her scratching post at A Byootaful Life. With her crazy antics, including a water-cooler adventure, our favorite Luna-look-a-like definitely lives up the name of this festival.
Puddy clearly gets plenty of exercise, but if your cat is on the less active side, Raising Whiskers has some tips on exercises for cats.
Cats can be quite possessive at times. At Victor Tabbycat and Nina the Torbie, Nina claims this red box in the name of Happy Cat. She does certainly look happy, not only about her red box, but the arrival of spring.
More fun and games. In the epic battle of wills unfolding at Life from a Cat’s Perspective, it’s Tuxie Cat 1 Rat Terrier 0.
That concludes the Festival for now. Thanks to everyone who participated, and we will continue to accept submissions through the end of Sunday.

Weekend Cat Blogging #204: Rainy Saturday
It’s a bit a dreary and rainy day here in San Francisco, so a perfect time to curl up in a favorite chair with cup of coffee and Weekend Cat Blogging.
As one can see in the photo, the area around Luna’s favorite chair is a bit cluttered at the moment. But we’re taking advantage of the rainy weather to do some necessary cleaning and reorganization of the “less often photographed” parts of CatSynth HQ. Luna is of course doing her part to supervise.
Weekend Cat Blogging #204 is being hosted by Mind of Mog.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
The Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by…actually, it looks like it will be hosted by us right here at CatSynth!
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

CatSynth video: Cats and mini theremin
From widtaria on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
“As movies “cats playing a theremin” on YouTube were fun to me, I got to want to buy one and let my cats play it.”
Not entirely sure about letting the cat chew on the antenna.
