“The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall listen to a “cat-organ” at the START Festival with Brian Blessed, Jools Holland and Alan Titchmarsh. Visit http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk and http://www.startuk.org to find out more.”
No real cats were harmed in this performance.
For Weekend Cat Blogging, some more photos:
Here we see Luna in mid-step in her favorite area for morning sunshine. I like capturing her in mid motion. The lines and curves of her limbs match the chrome bars on the chairs.
The extreme hours at my new job have been continuing, including this weekend. And while I like the work I’m doing, the prolonged intensity is taking its toll. But I am noticing that it is taking a toll on Luna as well. She is a bit more stressed, although from her relaxed poses it would be hard to notice:
Spending time with Luna and working with these images, even if only for a few minutes, is a form of relief.
As mentioned in the previous article, the Peninsula Human Society and SPCA is working to help the animal victims and their human companions who were affected by the devastating fire in the nearby town of San Bruno this Thursday. Please visit their website to find out more.
Weekend Cat Blogging #275 will be hosted by LB and Breadchick at The Sour Dough.

UPDATE: the app is SoundyThingie, and I have just downloaded it…
Summer has finally arrived with a heatwave that brought even San Francisco into the mid 90s F (30s C). And our apartment tends to get even warmer:
Luna was a bit uncomfortable in the heat, but it was a good excuse to nap (as if cats need an excuse for that). And a napping cat is a good excuse for experimenting with the camera (such as fun with low f-stop settings):
It’s been another busy week – yes, that is a familiar phrase here at CatSynth – and I haven’t been home very much. So I left fans running for Luna, and even a small ice pad out for her on the hottest day. I think we’re both a little tired out, physically and mentally. But it’s a long three-day weekend, and the fog has once again returned with its calming and creative influence. I think we will enjoy it.
Weekend Cat Blogging #274 is hosted by the handsome pair Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind over Matter. Jules, the black cat, often appears when we host WCB, so we’re returning the favor this week.
Photo Hunt 229 is hosted by tnchick, with the apropos theme of Hot.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
The monthly Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by Nikita and Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

“Can’t get a camera out without luna turning up.
The EM-Tronic is a small hand held synth that makes a large range of electronic noises.”
You can see the EM-Tronic in action in this video:
Quite a variety of sounds in such a small box.
Submitted by vlern via facebook:
It’s a good time for a reminder that you, too, can submit your cat-and-synthesizer or cats-and-music pictures via facebook, tweet them to us @catsynth, or use our submissions form.
Also, check out more cats on Tuesday.
Luna has a moment of self discovery.
Notice any resemblance?
Luna is just not as interested in technology as some other individuals are, but she deigns to pose with the Smule Magic Piano.
I might use the Magic Piano in today’s performance, depending on how it unfolds. I will definitely be using at least one other app, Curtis, with some vocal recordings I made last night. Luna was a little perplexed by my practicing the text for today, and interrupted me several times with her own recitations.
Weekend Cat Blogging #273 is hosted by Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat. She anxiously awaits for submissions to come in.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Samantha and Clementine at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
