Weekend Cat Blogging #200
We at CatSynth are delighted to be hosting the 200th edition of Weekend Cat Blogging. That’s quite a milestone. The first edition was back in 2005, and we started participating in the summer of 2006, and we have met many cats and their humans through this weekly event.
So we’re hoping for a big turnout to come a celebrate with us this weekend. To participate, leave us a comment and we will include you in the round up.
First up, Cheysuli speaks up about the male and why he dislikes him. It’s a strange concept to us at CatSynth, where Luna seems quite fond of her male human.
Far away in Malaysia, Elin receives some awards, but hasn’t much time to post or visit because her human secretary is feeling ill.
From Malaysia we then go to Tennessee, where the old lady cat, Scrappycat, and upstart young kitten, Patchouli, from Sidewalk Shoes are pleased to join us for WCB #200, and we’re of course pleased to have them here.
We have found the source of Elin’s award, it’s from Pinky and Ash, where life is grand this weekend. And judging from the affection in that photo, life does indeed seem grand.
Some cats want affection from the humans in their lives. Others are content just to be fed. Cece was happy to get fed my Mog, without even having to beg. He has her well trained, it seems.
Meanwhile, Mog finds this photo of Meowza sums up her week in one word: dirt.
Butch and his shadow, Vincent are joining us this weekend from Judi’s Mind over Matter, and share this rather affectionate photo with us.
Our friends from The Cat Realm haven’t been part of WCB for a while, but they are joining us this weekend, too, and to help us get caught up they have provided this handy who’s who chart. Hey, they have a Luna there, too!
On to Florida, where our friends Samantha and Tigger discuss stripes. Tigger of course has stripes on his, while Samantha does not.
Arthur may look innocent, but he is a documented killer. Visit Gattina’s “My Cats and Funny Stories” to see Arthur successfully hunt, kill and eat a mouse. (They do have pictures. You have been warned)
We’ll continue to post links as we receive them through Monday, so there’s still plenty of time to participate.
Other events this weekend include the Carnival of the Cats at No Cats Allowed, and the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos hosted by The Meezers and Billy.
And of course The Friday Ark is at the modulator.

CatSynth pic: Baby and GR-33
From our friend Knox Bronson, a new picture of Baby on a Roland GR-33:
“Baby [was] lying on my gr-33 when I was trying to work on a new song, Baby’s No Help – yes, it’s about Baby. Bad kitty. :)”
Bronson is a new instrumental CD The Seasons, and is releasing a free download per week of his electronic music. The first download is Flight of the Atom Bee.

Weekend Cat Blogging #198
I need a break, so Luna is taking care of Weekend Cat Blogging:
I wonder what she has to say today. Quite possibly something about how I have not been spending enough time at home of late. If you have any suggestions for her, leave us a comment.
One thing Luna is likely to talk about is our having a visitor this weekend, another black cat is staying with us on Sunday. It makes from some interesting encounters.
Luna is in the foreground.
Weekend Cat Blogging #198 is being hosted by our friends from Florida Samantha and Tigger.
The Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos is being hosted by fellow house panther Diamond Emerald Eyes.
It’s the fifth anniversary of The Carnival of Cats. The special edition will be held at When Cats Attack.
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Anyone else notice how the knobs match the CatSynth color scheme? 🙂

Weekend Cat Blogging: 月神
As part of my bid to learn at least a little bit of Chinese, I have given Luna an appropriate Chinese name: 月神, or “Queen of the Night”. The character 月 by itself refers to the moon.
And since my return our little Queen of the Night is enjoying, indeed demanding, much attention.
I did see more cats in China on this trip, this time mostly strays. This orange cat was in Fuxing Park in Shanghai.
Like most cities, there are lots of stray cats in Shanghai. I did hear from a friend who was showing me around that there is a new program to help feed and care for stray cats, but I have not been able to find any information online.
And now, for the first time in a while, we have an opportunity to relax, and to catch up on things at home:
Weekend Cat Blogging #197 is being hosted by LB and Breadchick at The Sour Dough. They have the winning combination of cats, music (audio gear) and red wine.
The auspicious Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos #88 is being hosted by Miz Mog and the Kitties at Mind of Mog. (Yes, it’s another Chinese reference, go look it up).
The Carnival of the Cats #261 will be up this Sunday at Nikitas Place
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
