From James Price, via matrixsynth:
“This is my mostly empty dotcom with my kitten, Button, inside.”
“dotcom” of course refers to the Synthesizers.com rack, which apparently doubles as a comfortable napping spot.
We would like to remind everyone that you can submit your own cat-and-music pictures via our online form, via facebook, or @catsynth on twitter.
Our first Weekend Cat Blogging of 2010 begins in grayscale:
Luna is on her favorite beanbag chair in a relatively clean studio. Nearby is a crate full of old audio interfaces – it seems we have quite a few E-MU, M-Audio and Digidesign interfaces, some in various states of disrepair or obsolescence. We rely on one or another of these portable interfaces for live shows.
Meanwhile, Luna drifts off to sleep…
Weekend Cat Blogging will be hosted by Pam at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Mind of Mog.
The monthly Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted on Sunday by Samantha and The Orange Kitty at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

“I’m very happy with the new rig. It’s very West Coast Serge / Buchla compared to the ARP, it’s a very different beast. I’m looking forward to doing some serious recording with it.”
“Once again, Ernie is very helpful.”
You can see more on the associated flickr set.
From softestthing on flickr:
There are several other pictures in the “kitteh can has moogs” series featuring Harrison (aka “harry potterbelly”). You can see the all of them here:
I realized that we have actually met this cat once before, in “kitteh can has modz”.
For this holiday edition of Weekend Cat Blogging, we present some of our images from Hunnukah, the Jewish festival that concludes at sundown tonight. Our menorah, not surprisingly, has both musical and modernist elements, with a band of musicians behind the candles.
As one can see, this was taken on the seventh night, which for a variety of scheduling reasons ended up being the main night on which we were able to celebrate. Luna received her gift, a blue fish toy – it is our personal tradition that designated Hannukah gifts have to be blue.
She seem to quite enjoy this toy, and immediately took to batting it around th floor; and play hunting with it by pushing it underneath the table and then pouncing on it. I was able to get some videos of her play:

Originally titled “Analog and digital Synths work together…Mini Moog, Synthesizers.com.” From Synthiefrau on YouTube, via matrixsynth:
Hi Folks, the night is cold and grey and I play Synthesizers. Sorry for the mistakes, I play live. My siamese cat Cleo listening, she love Synths also. Mini moog leadsound, Synton Syrinx leadsound, the sequenz is from the Modularsystem, My left Hand played the Roland V-Synth. Effects comes from the Roland Juno 60 and my little “kloiner Racker” Doepfer Dark Energie.
Synthesizers are my life!!1
Watch Cleo during the video. Like Luna, she sits quietly and puts up with her human’s weird sounds, but will make it very clear when she wants some attention for herself.

Here Luna watches as I work on some more art and music reviews to post later this weekend.
It is a good day for indoor activities, as it has been cold and rainy the last few days:
Perfect weather for drifting off to sleep.
especially for Luna who has been recovering from a cold (cats can get colds, too). Fortunately, she is feeling much better this weekend, and ready for the adventures ahead on this cold day…
