Pet Photo Fails: Paisley, Unfocused

Welcome to the August edition of Pet Photo Fails!



We have just one fail for you this month, because old SoLT has not been feeling well for a whole month now and hasn't taken many pictures. She found out she has a kidney stone that might be sort of stuck, and she will probably feel better after she has it removed, but we don't know when that will be yet.



Anyway, here is a blurry photo of

Caturday Art: Webster in the Cat Tree Cubby

This week's Caturday Art features Real Cat Webster in one of his favorite spots: the little cubby hole in the cat tree.




Old SoLT used the Floating effect at 40% in LunaPic. She tried adding a bunch of other things on top of that, but nothing looked quite right, so she decided to stop. She did bump up the contrast and brightness in Photoshop, though.

Here's the original:

Cat of the Week: Shaz

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.






This week, we’re excited to introduce Shaz, an excellent Siamese cat in need of a new home. Shaz is a

Caturday Art: Sleepy Webster

This week's Caturday Art features Real Cat Webster doing one of his very favorite things: going to sleep.




Old SoLT did this with a combination of Lunapic and PicMonkey effects. In Lunapic, she used the Sketch 4 art effect, followed by just a touch of the Landscape effect (26%) to put some color back in. Then in PicMonkey, she added the Frost effect and a drop-shadow frame.

And here is the

Words with Webster: Henry’s Pocket, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

We have two fun Friday features for you today. First up is
Real Cat Webster, who has an “eary”  word
to share. 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 “Henry’s pocket.” I picked this word because I just
thought it was interesting. It is also not in the dictionary, which makes it
kind

The Nine Lives of a Cat, 1860 Style

Today we’re sharing something we just discovered yesterday
on The Public Domain Review (a
great resource if you’re looking for public domain material). What we found is an
1860 book called The Nine Lives of a Cat: A Tale of Wonder. It was written by Charles
Bennett and published in London by Griffith and Farran. Bennett bills this tome
as a “tale of wonder … told for children,” but it’s

Catuday Art: Paisley Reviews a Book

We are so glad to be back after having to skip a whole week of blogging due to illness! Old SoLT has been fighting an infection for almost two weeks now, and she is finally starting to feel better. Many thanks to those who wrote to make sure we were okay--we really appreciate it!

Anyway, old SoLT felt up to doing some Caturday Art this week, so she artified a picture of Real Cat Paisley helping
