Marx from sarendipatree makes another appearance:
I believe that is an Ensoniq ASR-10r sampler? I thought about trading my ASR keyboard for the rackmount at one point, though neither would be particularly practical for me at this point.

New Podcast: "Mission Accomplished (again)"
Some of you may have seen my parody of Bush's May 1, 2003 “Mission Accomplished” theatrics, and a few of you may have even gotten the joke. In any case, I posted a version to YTMND complete with remixed clips from the speech. Tonight's podcast is an extended version of that speech remix. As always, click on the podcast icon to the right, or the “Podcast” item in the right-side menu, to subscribe.

WCB100: TeaCup
A serious note to accompany Weekend Cat Blogging #100. TeaCup at “Bad Kitty Cats”, has been very ill. He suffered an unknown injury to his leg that became infected, and he has had several operations to remove the infected tissue. He has been very tired and weak, and is currently back in the hospital. We learned about TeaCup through Weekend Cat Blogging and we've been sending our thoughts to him and Megan, and hope other readers will do the same. Fellow WCB'ers Pet's Garden Blog are holding an art auction for TeaCup and Megan, and he is among the animals supported this week at the pet prayers and praise blog.We at CatSynth hope that TeaCup gets well soon.

From tardis454, via matrixsynth:
Not quite as sophisticated as Nora's piano performances, but still a little feline musical performance.

Cat is out of the bag on Saint John Airport security
With apologies to Harry Shearer, we present this “tale of airport security” from the CBC News:
Mary Martell discovered Ginger, the family pet, in her luggage after a two-hour plane ride to Toronto and an hour's drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The cat apparently snuck into a bag while Martell was packing.
Martell said her bag was scanned at the airport, but she was not stopped.
“They had asked me, when they put ? the luggage through the X-ray, whether I had a turkey,” Martell said…
…The bag was sent on and loaded into the cargo bay of the airplane. Ginger, 3, was discovered when Martell opened her suitcase in her hotel room.Fortunately, Ginger is doing well after her adventure. But don't you think that airport security could have detected a live animal in a suitcase? From a follow-up article:
When the cat went through screening, the X-ray machine would have shown just a faint image of some bones,” [Canadian Air Transport Security Authority spokesperson said,] “That, in itself is not a threat object to civil aviation. That would have passed through, no problem.”
But of course my toothpaste is a threat to civil aviation, and my musical instruments (including the acoustic folk instruments) get passed through the X-ray machine several times before being allowed to pass. And a bottle of water (purchased outside the terminal) cannot be carried, but an animal that is 75% water is OK…
Well, since it appears to be OK security-wise to carry live animals in suitcases, can people check in their crying babies, please?

Weekend Cat Blogging #99: May Flowers
First time WCB hosts Spot, Mel, Shishi and Sirius have decided upon a floral theme for Weekend Cat Blogging #99. We at CatSynth are of course happy to oblige with this lovely photo of Luna posing with a California poppy:
As we saw last October, the color orange really brings out something in Luna. I thought this living-room photo of orange with black and grays was quite striking:
While the California poppy is aesthetically and geographically “purrfect” for Luna, it is not safe for cats. These photos were taken under very close supervision and the flower was immediately removed from the house afterwards. We at CatSynth want to remind our feline friends to enjoy May flowers responsibly. The Cat Fanciers Association has a list of plants considered non toxic for cats. Another list of resources on plant safety can be found here.

Quote from sduck409:
This little cat was a real spark plug when we got him back in January of 2006. He would jump up and into anything.
Like matrix, we are reminded of Moogy the Moggy
Funny how this photo is tinted blue, and only a day or so ago we had a catsynth photo tinted red…
