Cat of the Week: Midnight in Washington, DC

Each week in this space, we feature a senior cat in need of adoption or sponsorship. Please remember all the older cats in shelters. They make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the curtains! Adopt a senior cat, and help him or her enjoy the best years of their life.

Anyone looking for a friendly little house panther? Midnight could just be your guy. He is 8

Sunday Selfies: Coming Home

As much fun as it is to get away and see something new, often the best part of a trip is the coming-home part. For this week's Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head, we share a couple post-BlogPaws selfies.

First up is this selfie that Flat Cats Paisley and Webster took during the drive from Myrtle Beach to Maryland. We don't know if you can tell from the photo, but traffic was

Caturday Art: Jaguar

Today we join Athena's Caturday Art blog hop with this really neat thing old SoLT picked up while she was in Myrtle Beach for BlogPaws. It is a hand-crafted jaguar mask, and as you can see, it is a work of art in itself:




But old SoLT could not leave well enough alone and decided to have a little fun. First she went into PicMonkey and applied a whole bunch of filters and textures (Sepia,

Top 5 Things I Learned at BlogPaws 2017

She of Little Talent is recently returned from Myrtle Beach
and BlogPaws 2017, and I tasked her with creating a list of things she learned
there. I think if she successfully implements everything she learned, we will
soon be some kind of super-bloggers, and I will become as famous as I deserve
to be. Finally.




Here is old SoLT’s list:

Book Review: Moto and Me

When She of Little Talent was a little girl (many, many
years ago), she dreamed of being some sort of field biologist who lived in a
tent surrounded by lions or polar bears or something. She wanted to be the
person who snowshoed into a remote place to crawl into a hibernating bear’s den
and take a blood sample. She would have loved Moto and Me, by Suzi Eszterhas.

Today we join Athena's Caturday Art blog hop with this picture of Real Cat Paisley:





We used the Submarine effect in LunaPic, followed by a water texture and a frame in PicMonkey. If you have really been paying attention to this blog lately, you might have noticed that the original photo is the same one old SoLT used to make Flat Paisley:

Big Cat News Roundup: May 2017

big-cat cousins. Each one could be its own post, but we thought we’d condense
them all into one news roundup.
