3 Podcasts for Cat Lovers
What's the best podcast topic ever?
Cats, of course!

We’ve been hearing a lot about podcasts lately, and there is
good reason for that. Podcasts educate and entertain, they’re great for
listening during a workout or commute, and there’s one for just about every
subject you can possibly think of. That means there are podcasts about cats:
Best. Subject. Ever.

Cat of the Week: Randy in Westhampton
Each week in this space, we feature a senior cat in need of
adoption or sponsorship. Please remember all the great older cats in shelters.
They make great companions, and they (probably) won’t climb the curtains! If
you can’t adopt but still want to help, look into sponsoring a cat in the
shelter or in foster care.

Cat Classics on Film: The AristoCats (1970)
The AristoCats is
a 1970 Walt Disney movie that, nearly 50 years after its release, still has a
lot of charm and entertainment value. Besides lots of cats, the film also features
a Grammy-nominated soundtrack that includes the jazzy classics “Ev'rybody Wants
to Be a Cat” and "Thomas O'Malley Cat." The Blu-ray version we watched recently had the option of scrolling the song lyrics on screen so

Sunday Selfies: Meet the Flat Cats
Today we join the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head, with a few selfies of Flat Webster and Flat Paisley, taken as they prepare for BlogPaws.
First up is the Flat Cats together, complete with their fancy hats:
She of Little Talent thought it would be cute to introduce the Real Cats to their flat counterparts. When Real Cat Webster met Flat Cat Webster, it was cute:

Caturday Art: Welcome to the Matrix
Today we join Athena's Caturday Art blog hop with this picture of Real Cal Webster.
She of Little Talent seems to be going through a phase of wanting to do science-fictiony things to pictures of Webster. This one started in LunaPic, with their Matrix effect. Then, in PicMonkey, old SoLT added a sunglow to Webs's eye and a light trail that she faded out a lot but that runs through the center

Words with Webster: #BlogPaws, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins
Words with Webster
Hi, everyone! It’s me, Webster, and I’m very excited to
share today’s word with you. The word is more than a word; it’s a hashtag:
#BlogPaws. This is the hashtag that we and lots of others will be tweeting,
instagramming, facebooking, and yes, blogging about next week at the annual
Blog Paws Conference. Well, I say “we,” but Paisley and I aren’t going…exactly.

Explore Cats at the Archives of American Art
Remember life before the internet? Back in the day when, if
you wanted to show your friend on the other side of the country some silly
thing your cat liked to do, you couldn’t just shoot off an email with a link.
Oh no. You had to draw. A picture. On a piece of paper. And send it. In the
mail. With a stamp. Remember that?

Sunday Selfie: Talk to the Tail
No one was in the mood to take selfies this week, at least not when She of Little Talent was trying to take them. (Memo to old SoLT: Cats don't want to take selfies when it is dinnertime and you are messing around with a phone instead of serving up tasty wet morsels like you should be doing. Put that on a sticky note or something.) For her efforts, she was rewarded with views of cats' backsides,
