Weekend Cat Blogging: New Year and Photohunt:Fuzzy
We at CatSynth attempt to wake up to the new year…slowly. Here is our first published photo of 2011:
The theme of this weekend’s Photo Hunt is fuzzy, which is easy with Luna around. One can easily see the fuzziness of her thick winter fur. Cats do seem to get thicker fur in the winter…and contrary to stereotypes, we do have a winter season in California.
This may end up being about as much as we do today.
Weekend Cat Blogging #291 New Years Edition is hosted by Pam and the cats at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Photo Hunt is hosted by tnchick. This week’s theme is Fuzzy.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by Nikita Cat.
And life goes on…

A good time to remind readers that you, too, can submit your cat-and-music pics via facebook, twitter @catsynth, or via our handy submission form.

I would be quite curious to hear that piece.
Weekend Cat Blogging #290
December 25 (Christmas) is a completely free day us.
After a season (and indeed, a year) that has been exceptionally hectic even by my own standards, such emptiness can be a bit jarring. One could catch up on the myriad creative projects and practical items that have been languishing, or just relax. Luna on the other hand has no problem with this whatsoever.
This is yet another lesson we should learn from our animal friends.
I would go for a walk downtown or along the highway structures, but with the blustery wind and stormy skies outside, it seems best to stay inside this morning with a warm cup of of coffee and a cat. It also seems like a good morning for some 1950s/1960s minor-key jazz (actually, a lot of mornings are good for that). Just imagine The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Take Five or John Coltrane’s Equinox in the background with the pictures of Luna and you can glimpse Christmas morning at CatSynth HQ.
Weekend Cat Blogging #290, Holiday Edition is hosted by Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind Over Matter.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted tomorrow by Nikita Cat.
The Friday Ark is on hiatus for the holidays.

I believe the keyboard is a Yamaha CP-33.

Also, check out recoilsun’s bandcamp, featuring music with this Buchla setup. Interesting and meditative. Not sure if the cat assisted.
