And a bonus pic of Mimì as a kitten:
“She was a pretty sweet kitten before getting a synth addicted cat!”

Weekend Cat Blogging: Photo Hunt – Triangles
This weekend we are combining Weekend Cat Blogging with the weekly Photo Hunt theme of triangles. It’s been quite a “triangular” week here, including our last wordless wednesday architectural photo. Simple geometry like triangles are often featured in my photos, as well as the interior design at CatSynth HQ, so it’s not hard to find Luna and a triangle together. Indeed, the contrast of Luna’s organic curved form to the angular geometry of of her surroundings has been a regular theme.
This particular glass table, one of our favorites, features multiple triangles (anyone care to count them)?
We at CatSynth also wish everyone a happy Pesach (Passover) and Easter.
Our friends LB and Breadchick host the Easter edition of Weekend Cat Blogging. No rabbits or resurrections, but plenty of feeling antics by LB and the other participants.
Samantha and Tigger host this week’s Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Artsy Catsy. We are joining them today is sending thoughts for the pets and other animals last week’s earthquake in Italy.
The friday ark is at the modulator. And also check out this week’s photo hunt.

Weekend Cat Blogging #199: Luna video
This weekend, Luna has a video to share. Listen to her chatter away:
Like many humans, she is easily distracted, and an incoming text message grabs her attention. But she is nonetheless quite intent on something, anyone care to guess what?
Weekend Cat Blogging #199 is hosted by The Turkey Cats. They are also celebrating their 4th birthday on Sunday.
Also on Sunday, the New Tuxedo Gang Hideout will host the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos, and Kashim, Othello and Salome will host the Carnival of the Cats. 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.
