Caturday Art: Webster Eats the Sun

For this week's Caturday Art, we chose to provide a cultural and educational message in our art. It is about the coming eclipse, or any eclipse really, as you can see:




Earlier this week, old SoLT learned that some people who lived in the Andes region of South America had a totally different name for the constellation we know as Gemini, or the Twins. They called it Puma Yunta, or Two Pumas.

Words with Webster: Eclipse, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

We have two fun Friday features for you today. First up is
Real Cat Webster, who has a sunny word (or should I say, sunny with a chance of
sudden darkness?). And then we have Friendly Fill-Ins.



Words with Webster: Eclipse




Hi, everybody. It’s me, Real Cat Webster. Welcome to Words
with Me. Today’s word is “eclipse.” If you live in the United States like I do,
then I bet you have heard this

Black Cat Appreciation Day 2017

Today, August 17, is Black Cat Appreciation Day, and we wanted to take a moment to remind you why black cats are terrific. We have written a fair amount about black cats in the past, so we'll be sharing links to some of those posts.

First off, a black cat is really just a cat who happens to have a black coat. We don't know why some people have such a "thing" about them. Oh, sure, there's the old

Cat of the Week: Midnight Moon 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!





Today, please meet Midnight Moon. He is nice, quiet guy who is 7 years old. Midnight Moon is a Maine Coon mix

App Review: Simon’s Cat—Crunch Time

Today we bring you our review of a relatively new match-3
game: Simon’s Cat—Crunch Time. We love Simon’s Cat, so we have been looking
forward to trying this game. Turns out it is really cute and very easy to
learn, but on the levels labeled “Hard,” they are not kidding!



Easy to start…

In Crunch Time, you are basically taking a trip through a
series of backyards and fields. To progress

Sunday Selfie: Paisley Strikes a Pose

This week, our Sunday Selfie comes to us courtesy of Real Cat Paisley, who was kind enough to strike a pose in the sunroom while old SoLT was in there with the good camera. Thank you, Paisley!




We are joining the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head.

Caturday Art: Find the Kitty!

We are sharing our Caturday Art today, even though the blog hop unfortunately had to be cancelled this week. If you haven't already, we hope you'll send a message of cheer and best wishes to Athena and her person, Marie.



In today's first artwork, we have accidentally created a challenge for you. There is a (highly stylized) cat in this picture. Can you find him--without scrolling down to see

Friendly Fill-Ins

Today we have just one fun Friday feature for you. Real Cat
Webster has a word all picked out for Words with Webster, but old SoLT said
something about having “entirely too much work,” whatever that means. Anyway,
she says she doesn’t have time to help Webs look up his word or type it all out
for you. Next week, she says!





We are pleased to have Friendly Fill-Ins, from 15andmeowing and

Getting Ready for Remember Me Thursday

This is what we got from Remember the Rescue to help us help themspread the word about Remember Me Thursday, on September 28, 2017.


When we were at the BlogPaws Conference in Myrtle Beach a
few months ago (has it really been that long?), we met a really nice lady from the
Helen Woodward Animal Center. She told us all about Remember the Rescue and Remember
Me Thursday, which happens on

Happy World Cat Day 2017!

We have a simple message for you today:





If you are a cat, today you should act as though the world is yours, because it is!
