Thanks to our friend matrix for finding this site. Although not musical, it is nonetheless an example of cats and technology. The project involves modifying an inexpensive digital camera to be wearable by a cat and take periodic photos as said cat goes about his/her daily routine. The site contains a lot of technical information, but most interesting are the photos from the cat's various excursions. There are several under-car views and feline encounters.

CatSynth pics: cat and toy keyboard
From Ben of br'er we have these really cute photos of a cat playing with (or at least playing near) a toy keyboard:
Readers may remember Ben and br'er from the infamous CatSynth Tatoo.

Sherman Filterbank Banner Cat
Can't believe I never noticed this before. A friend found this filter-tweaking cat in the banner for Sherman Filterbanks:
Of course I follow the link back to Analogue Haven, but I've got enough gear at the moment and should probably spend some more time making music with it…
I can haz filterbank?

Weekend Cat Blogging #103: Texas Cat, and some updates
Luna is taking a break this weekend while we introduce a little friend from my recent trip to Texas. While staying at a cottage outside the town of Wimberly, Texas, I encountered this fellow hiding under the deck:
Presumably, he (she) is one of the many roaming outdoor cats that one finds in rural areas. Quite shy at first, a day later the cat came out in the open and allowed me to take some better photographs:
Although quite thin (as several have already commented), this cat had a very nice coat, suggesting he does get some decent food, probably on a mixture of rodents, the occasional handout from neighbors, and naive city folk.
It's always a treat to see cats when I travel. There were a couple others in town and in the countryside, but I was not able to get any photos of them.
Check out the other cats this weekend at the The House of the (Mostly) Black Cats, where Boni and Mini are hosting. Among this weekend's entries is an update from kitikata-san on Bruno, the “little black kitty” who needed a home after being found with cuts and bruises on the side of the road. He's doing well now in his new home. You can read more about his story here.
We would also like to remind WCB'ers and others that we are donating all CD sales through June 4 to the family of TeaCup and the Bad Kitty Cats. Please consider supporting new music and our friends.
