Luna
Weekend Cat Blogging: Getting ready for today’s performance
We present a rather short Weekend Cat Blogging, as I get ready to head to Sacramento for my performance with Reconnaissance Fly at the In The Flow Festival. As you can see, we’re all packed and ready to go:
Luna was fascinated by the case for the Nord keyboard, as opposed to the keyboard itself in which she has shown no interest whatsoever.
By coincidence, this edition of Weekend Cat Blogging is being hosted by our friends LB and breadchick at The Sour Dough. We know they will appreciate that we are once again featuring audio gear this weekend!
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at When Cats Attack!.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
Weekend Cat Blogging: Playing in Triangles
The weekend, we have another trio of photos featuring Luna, this time playing on the window. Something definitely caught her interest.
These were taken in rapid succession with a telephoto lens from the upstairs level of our apartment looking down. That is what allowed me to get the triangular shape for the window.
Weekend Cat Blogging #257 is hosted by Judi, Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind of Matter.
The Carnvial of the Cats will be hosted by Nikita at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat. His dad had quite a medical scare, and we send them our thoughts.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Springtime on the Patio
A slightly belated and mostly wordless Weekend Cat Blogging, with some new photos of Luna on the patio:
It’s been an odd, very active, and somewhat melancholy weekend. Thus, we are a little late with WCB. But we think these photos are worth the wait.
Weekend Cat Blogging #256 is at Mind of Mog.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted today by Nikita Cat
The Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted this weekend by Meowza.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Addiction
The theme of this weekend’s Photo Hunt is addiction, which leads to the obligatory catnip photo for Weekend Cat Blogging:
Of course, Luna’s real addiction seems to be grass:
Not only does she enjoy her little pot of grass, but will also immediately find blades growing out of flower pots on our patio (something I wish she would not do).
Lest we pick on cats entirely, we at CatSynth have many other “addictions”:
This is perhaps still my favorite red-wine photo from the archives.
Here are some colorful cocktails, which also symbolize our “addiction” to color and geometry:
Sometimes the visual aspect is better than the taste.
We at CatSynth are certainly addicted to our environment, our life in the city, the visual stimulation, our home, music, playing with cats. In truth, one needs only to browse the pages of this site or visit our photo gallery to witness images of “addiction.” Blogging itself is an addictive activity, and indeed must be in order to be successful.
Weekend Cat Blogging #255 is hosted by Pam at sidewalk shoes.
Photo Hunt 210 is hosted as always by tnchick. This week’s theme is addiction.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Vertical
For today’s combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt, we explore the theme of vertical with Luna. Certainly, vertical lines are part of the texture and geometry of our home, in some cases quite literally:
(This photo first appeared in February.)
Luna is also quite lean and tall which is apparent when she stretches as in the previous photo, or poses on her pedistal:
There of course other numerous vertical lines in the space around her.
Weekend Cat Blogging #253 is co-hosted by LB and Breadhick at The Sour Dough and Othello and Salome.
Photo Hunt 208 is hosted by tnchick, with the theme of Vertical.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by Nikita Cat at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Sweet
Sometimes a theme can be so easy that it becomes a challenge. Such is the case with this week’s Photo Hunt theme of sweet. Luna is the embodiment of sweetness, and the number of images in the CatSynth archives documenting this can be a bit overwhelming. So we start with the present. Luna often parks herself nearby my workstation in the studio/office and watches quietly. There is something quite sweet about her presence:
There is something very sweet about a sleeping cat, curled up and peaceful:
and of course getting pets and affection:
In retrospect, this really was not difficult at all.
Weekend Cat Blogging #252 is being hosted by our friend Nikita at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
Photo Hunt #207 is hosted by tnchick. This week’s theme is sweet.

Weekend Cat Blogging:
For Weekend Cat Blogging, we present some new and interesting views of Luna:
Even though she is partially hidden by the blinds, this has instantly become one of my favorite portraits. I really like the focus and the color contrast.
This photo captures Luna in mid-paw, claiming ownership of the office chair.
It’s rare that I have been able to get motion like that before, and I would consider this a happy accident. And although Luna likes to own things, she is willing to share as well. We are sitting on the chair together to write this.
Weekend Cat Blogging #251 is hosted by Pam at Sidewalk Shoes, where Smudge has a very nice black-and-white portrait.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at One Cats Nip.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Three
For Weekend Cat Blogging and today’s Photo Hunt theme of Three, we present a trio of images taken with our new camera:
The glass coffee table at CatSynth HQ has been a mainstay for themed photos, and it presents several representations of the number three:
There are the triangular elements with three sides, and there are the three glass surfaces. I wish there were only three objects on the table instead of four, but you take what you get. This picture was taken from above with a telephoto lens, and I really like the detail on the glass, particularly the refraction of the square patterns.
Next, we try out a portrait lens on our resident model:
Notice the overall detail and the color of Luna’s green eyes. For a rather weak connection to the theme of three, there are three chairs present in this picture.
So now we go out into the world. It does seem that spring has arrived, and we are ready for new adventures:
