Weekend Cat Blogging #303: Red Stripe
Our busy schedule here at CatSynth continues unabated, with preparations for a second photo event in a couple of weeks and a new music project that requires quite a bit of practice. Yesterday, instead of the usual Saturday morning Weekend Cat Blogging, I pulled off the cover of the Nord Stage keyboard to practice, and dropped the distinctive red dust cover (everything related to Nord keyboards is bright red) on the edge of Luna’s beanbag. But that didn’t in anyway discourage her in anyway from curling up to take a nap – indeed, the dust cover almost looks like a brightly colored blanket.
It’s amazing how Luna can nap through just about any type of music. This morning it was songs by the Cardiacs – a little different than our usual fare, but fun and challenging. You can get a taste for what this sounds like (and what Luna is putting up with) below:
Then again, it can’t be more challenging than some the very artificial experimental sounds that she hears living here.
Weekend Cat Blogging #303 is hosted by Kashim, Othello and Salome at PaulChens FoodBlog?!

CatSynth video: Keyboard Cat Plays SXSW
Or maybe that’s played SXSW, as this was posted by chuckieart almost two weeks ago.
Austin, TX: Keyboard Cat knows the only way to get real cred at SXSW is to put up a bunch of posters and set up and play on the street! It’s more exciting than an iPad 2 store!

A delightfully weird video that will definitely wake one up on a Monday morning.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Video and photography
For Weekend Cat Blogging, we present another video of Luna looking out the window. She is exciting about something she saw and is chattering away. There is also a very cute expression about 30 seconds in.
Yes, I have quite a few videos of Luna chattering or “window-hunting.” It’s in part because it’s one of things that makes me want to record video rather than take still images. There is no time to edit this down, as I am busy preparing for the photo show next week. Here one can see one of the featured prints being prepared, as Luna shows her disdain for the whole process.
Weekend Cat Blogging #302 is being hosted by Samantha and Clementine at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Pet’s Garden Blog.

Weekend Cat Blogging 301: A Sad Day
March 11 was a sad day.
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our friend Mickey.
As mentioned earlier this week, he fell very ill and passed away on Friday. He (through his mom) first visited us in late 2007, and they have been regulars on our site ever since, as likely to comment on experimental music shows and photography as Luna’s feline antics. And in turn, we enjoyed getting to know them better through their site. Our thoughts go out to Mom Nancy and the rest of the family today.
We have been closely following the tragic events in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. Images such as these are heartbreaking, and our thoughts are with the people of Japan right now. While every year brings multiple huge disasters, when it happens somewhere you have visited or affects people you know, it hits harder.
Our friends at Cats of Wildcat Woods have compiled a list of relief organizations. The Red Cross is always a good place to start, and now you can donate via text messages.
There is no information currently on Tashirojima, or “Cat Island”, which is off the eastern coast of Japan in Miyagi Prefecture, near epicenter of the earthquake and tsunami, but the fear is that the island was lost.
Weekend Cat Blogging #301 is hosted by Pam at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Two Little Cavaliers.

Thoughts for Mickey
We are posting this for our friend Mickey. He and his mom (who famously feeds him one blade of grass at a time) are regular visitors to this site and have been very supportive over the past couple of years. Mickey’s health has taken a serious turn for the worse in recent days. He and and is family are in our thoughts.

IWW General Strike Poster
Saw this poster on BoingBoing:
Hugh Electronic sez, “The I.W.W. hired Eric Drooker to design posters for a general strike which he is told, now appears imminent in Wisconsin. The Industrial Workers of the World asked him to design versions in Spanish and Arabic, for international solidarity.”
I doubt that general strike is actually imminent in Wisconsin, but one has to admire that poster. Of course, we love black cats, and black and red is great color combination.
