Caturday Art: Is She Still There?
This week's Caturday Art captures an uncomfortable moment for Resident Dog Layla. She was trying to share the office sofa with Real Cat Paisley, but she is (appropriately) scared of Paisley, so the whole episode made her ... tense.
Old SoLT kept things simple, using a black & white filter and adding the photo corners, all in PicMonkey, which we have not used in a while.

Words with Webster: Cheshirization, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins
We have two fun Friday features for you today. First up is
Real Cat Webster, who has a catty word to share (but perhaps not catty enough,
as you’ll see!). After that, it’s on to Friendly Fill-Ins!
Words with Webster
Hi, everybody! It’s me, Real Cat Webster. Welcome to Words
with Me. Today’s word is “Cheshirization.” I learned this word last week when
Mommy was looking up stuff about Alice

Cat of the Week: Phil Dunphy
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.

Book Review: Seafurrers
Today we are pleased to bring you our short review of the fascinating
book Seafurrers: The Ships’ Cats Who
Lapped and Mapped the World, by Philippa Sandall and illustrated by Ad Long.
This book covers the history of cats on ships from the very beginning, when
cats took up duty stations on grain ships to feast on the rodents that ruined
the cargo; to the years of exploration, when cats went

Caturday Art: Webster's Z
This week's Caturday Art features Real Cat Webster's back part, and especially the white Z formation he has on his leg. Old SoLT thinks that is just the neatest thing, and she's always making a fuss over it. None of the rest of us are impressed.
The art was done in LunaPic, with the Homer (56%) and Cartoon (41%) effects. The frame is from Photoshop.
We'd show you the original, but once again

Real Cat Paisley’s Friendly Fill-Ins
We have just one fun Friday feature for you today. This is
because old SoLT has been double-booked with work for the past two weeks and
has not had as much time as usual to type the blog. That’s also why we haven’t visited and left
comments on our friends’ blogs very much this week, and we’re sorry about that.
We miss visiting everyone! Hopefully things will return to normal soon.

Cat Classics on Film: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Today’s Cat Classic is Disney’s animated version of Alice in Wonderland (1951), featuring,
of course, the Cheshire Cat.
The plot and the cat
Young Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) is a rather silly
daydreamer whose imagination is so much more interesting than the boring old
real world. One day while she’s supposed to be listening to a reading about
history, Alice sees a well-dressed
