Sunday Selfie: Paws at Work

For this week's Sunday Selfie, Real Cat Webster took a picture of his cute little paws at work. Here he is, guarding old SoLT's pen and paper and incidentally preventing her from writing anything down when she needs to (she complains about that ALL THE TIME). You can see what a hardworking cat he is!

Caturday Art: Paisley Artified

Sometimes, old SoLT starts to make a Caturday Art in Dreamscope, but it takes so long to render, she ends up using something else that week, and then she sort of forgets she was doing anything in Dreamscope. Then, perhaps weeks later, she tries Dreamscope again and discovers she already has something waiting there for her. That's where this Caturday Art came from. We don't know which effect it

Thanksgiving Bloopers

This Thanksgiving Day was a memorable one in old SoLT's house. What started out as a quiet day took a little turn when this happened:








So I busy cooking #thanksgivingdinner & turned around to see Real Cat Webster standing in the pumpkin pie. Fortunately it was covered in plastic wrap. Thanks, Webs! #happythanksgiving #catsofinstagram #catsinthekitchen

Cat of the Week: Gabby in Baltimore

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.









This week, please meet Gabby. She
is a very sweet 9-year-old lady who would be so thankful to find her

Book Review: Potions and Pastries

On this Mysterious Monday, we bring you our review of a
bewitchingly good tale from Bailey Cates. Potions
and Pastries is book 7 in the Magical Bakery mystery series, and it is the
first book in this series that we have read.



The plot



Potions and Pastries  is set in Savannah, Georgia, where Katie
Lightfoot is a witch, a hedgewitch, actually; she does her magic in the kitchen,

Sunday Selfie: Paisley Found a Sock

Yesterday, after old SoLT put away her clean laundry, Real Cat Paisley happened upon a sock that got left behind. She took this selfie to commemorate the event:

Caturday Art: Polaroid Paisley

Today's Caturday Art features the lovely Real Cat Paisley. Old SoLT took an older photo of her and tried the Nebula effect in Lunapic, followed by a lens flare and Polaroid frame in PicMonkey. Her furs (Paisley's, not old SoLT's) came out so pretty!

Friendly Fill-Ins for November 17

Real Cat Webster has suddenly decided to take the week off (i.e., he had a word all picked out, but old SoLT had too much work to do to help him with it). He will return
next week with Words with Webster.





That means we have just one fun Friday feature for
you, Friendly Fill-Ins from 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. They are a fun way to learn a little bit about the authors of
the blogs

First Cat in Space to Get Well-Deserved Memorial

Not many people know that, before any human dared venture
into space, a cat was sent to test things out. Now, this brave cat who did not
have any say in whether she got sent into space may finally be getting a
memorial.



The first and only feline in space



Félicette was a black-and-white tuxedo cat who was found
living on the streets in Paris (or was purchased from a dealer; the accounts
