Sunday Selfies: Pet Me & I'll Do a Selfie

This week, Real Cat Webster allowed himself to be photographed for a Sunday Selfie ... in exchange for several minutes of petting. (Tip to cats: You can get a human to anything when they are desperate to get a cute picture of you!)





Paisley wanted to do something too, so she decided to do this musical meme we first saw on Stunning Keisha, who got it from The Lone Star Cats. It's sort of

Caturday Art: Raspberry Webster

In his most recent Sunday Selfie, Real Cat Webster had a little tongue-out action going on. So old SoLT decided to go for a raspberry effect in this week's Caturday Art.* She did some messing about in Photoshop and came up with this:




*This is a lie that old SoLT made me write. She had no plan AT ALL and hit on the purple by accident. Then at the last second she decided, "Oh, I'll call it

Words with Webster

Kitten season is coming, and so is Alley Cat Rescue's May Spay Challenge!Photo via Adobe Stock.







You’ve all heard of kitten season, right? It’s that time of
year when temperatures warm, flowers bloom, and animal shelters are inundated
with kittens in need of homes.



Many people just call it “spring.”



Kitten season sounds cute and cuddly, but it’s actually a
big problem for shelters,

Cat of the Week: Rogue One

Each week in this space, we feature an
older adult or senior cat (7 years +) in need of adoption or sponsorship. Mature
cats make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the
curtains! Adopt an older cat, and help them enjoy the best years of their life.



 
Today, we are excited to introduce Rogue One. She is a 7-year-old lady who is nervous in the shelter but

Book Review: The Bengal Identity

Caturday Art: Paisley in the Sun

For this week's Caturday Art, Old SoLT wanted to use a picture of Real Cat Paisley in the sun. She decided to play with the sunlight and shadows by bumping the contrast way up in Photoshop and then adding a lens flare and a poster edges filter. Not bad for a measly five minutes' work.




Then, for something completely different, not to mention brighter, she tried the Delaunay (21%) and Landscape

Words with Webster

Hi, everybody! It’s me, Real Cat Webster. Welcome to Words
with Me. Today’s word is “cat squirrel.” Mommy found this word in the
dictionary while she was looking up something else. We never heard of it before
that, so
