Book Review: A Passion for Haunted Fashion

On this Mysterious Monday, we are pleased to bring you our
review of A Passion for Haunted Fashion,
the latest Haunted Vintage mystery from Rose Pressey. This is the series that
combines murder, fashion, ghosts, a generous dose of humor, and a cat who uses
a Ouija board to communicate. It is such fun!

Sunday Selfie: Paisley Undercover

A couple nights ago, old SoLT was putting clean sheets on the bed, and Real Cat Paisley decided to get involved (as cats will do). At the same time, she decided to take a quick selfie. So this is Paisley undercover:




It's kind of blurry, and of course that's entirely old SoLT's fault. She did put a sepia filter on it so you could see Paisley a little better, though.

Caturday Art: Sci Fi Webster

This week's Caturday Art is from Dreamscope again. This is another one that took only 24 hours to complete, and we think it turned out pretty cool. Real Cat Webster looks like he's gone sort of science fictiony:




By the way, we're pretty sure this is the Data Pagan effect. We'd show you the original, but old SoLT is having a "middle-age moment" (seems to be a permanent thing now) and can't

Pet Photo Fails: Blurry Tortie, Blurry Tabby

Welcome to the very first edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! We're all here to have a little fun on a Friday, so let's get right to it.

Real Cat Webster is ready to kick things off with what was supposed to be a selfie, we think. Whatever it was going to be, it's a fail because old SoLT wasn't steady enough and she jiggled the camera. Too much coffee, old SoLT?:





Next up, we have Real

Tibs the Great: Number One Cat of the British Post Office (1950-1964)

Over the years, cats have held many official positions in government
and business. Often, their main duties were to control rodents, and such is the
case with our subject today, a 23-pound tabby named Tibs.

Tibs the Great, as he was known, served as the “number one
cat” of Britain’s Post Office Headquarters for nearly 14 years. Born in 1950, he
arrived at

Cat of the Week: Hunter

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 we’re introducing this handsome fellow named Hunter. He is an 8-year-old male who is medium sized and

Cat Classics in Print: Warriors Book 1: Into the Wild

Old SoLT has been wanting to read this series since it first
started in 2003, but somehow she has never gotten around to it before now. We
sort of wondered if the first Warriors book, Into the Wild, can truly be considered a classic when it’s only 15
years old, but considering the sheer number of novels, novellas, “super
editions,” manga, and guides it has spawned (not including box sets,

Sunday Selfie: Webster on a Rainy Saturday

Real Cat Webster paused on yesterday's rainy morning to take this selfie:

Caturday Art: Paisley with Bokeh Gone Wild

This week's Caturday Art is--finally--from Dreamscope. It's one that we started a while ago and finally got back last week:




Old SoLT tried the Bokeh Treats effect,and we think it came out looking pretty cool, although we do wish it hadn't softened Paisley quite so much.

We're joining the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by Athena and Marie!

Happy Gotcha Day, Layla!

In honor of Resident Dog Layla's 2nd gotcha day, she and the Real Cats are having a beach party. As you can see, it's going well so far.





Layla did the Friendly Fill-Ins this week too! Ellen of 15 and Meowing came up with the first two questions, and the next two are from Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs.

1.Happiness is being with my family and getting treats.

2. Ten years ago, I wasn't
