Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Friday, everyone! Today we have 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 you read. The first two questions  are from Ellen of 15andmeowing, and the next

App Review: Grumpy Cat’s Worst Game Ever

 



We have been playing Grumpy Cat’s Worst Game Ever for a
while now, and we can confidently report that this is not the worst game ever. In fact, it’s a pretty fun game, if you
like things to be fast paced and you don’t mind being insulted by a cat when
you fail.

Cat of the Week: Toby in Baltimore

Each week in this space, we feature a senior cat in need of

Book Review: Felix, the Railway Cat

We had been looking forward to reading Felix, the Railway Cat, by Kate Moore, for quite a while, and it
turned out to be every bit as good as we’d hoped. So we are very happy to bring
you this brief review today.



A tradition of railway cats

For today's Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head, Real Cat Paisley wanted to share the following brief video of her at work with old SoLT. You can see how indispensable she is in the office:

Caturday Art: Webster Up Close

Once again we kept it simple for our entry in Athena's Caturday Art blog hop this week. Old SoLT opened a photo of Real Cat Webster in Photoshop and applied a paint daub filter. There was some fiddling with various buttons and sliders to get just the effect she wanted, but it was very easy. Then it was over to PicMonkey for a frame--well, two frames actually. We are very into using PicMonkey's

Cat Breeds Coloring Book Review, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

We bring you two fun features this Friday. First up is a
quick review of a brand-new cat coloring book. This is followed by Friendly
Fill-Ins.

company, capable of providing light entertainment, and for another thing, cats were
rather good
