Caspurr's Sad Sunday Selfies and Caturday Art


Hallo again, Effurryone!

Caspurr here - King of the Tigger-Tabbies. 








I would like to wish you all Shavua Tov (a Good Week) - but it cannot be denied that the week has started furry, furry sadly for all of Us, with the passing of dear, sweet Mauricio (Mau), one of the Kitties Blue, who - together with their HuMom, Janet - host the weekly Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.


Mau was called away unexpectedly to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday, July 17th and although his Family are heartbroken, they have bravely decided to soldier on and host the blog hop this week, in spite of their grief - and We, too, are joining it, in Mau's honour.  We know he wouldn't have wanted to miss a week.
So, Mau, this one is for you, Sweet Angel.








It is in tribute to Mau, also, that for Our Caturday Art this week, We have chosen the Sadness Effect from LunaPic, to show how sad we are at the loss of Our Furriend.







This version of the picture is Our Entry in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by the Beautiful and Wise Kitty, Athena and her HuMum, Marie.




We were asked by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam if they could display it, and of course, We gave Our Purrmission.





We wanted to add, Mau's passing has reminded Us once again of how impawtant it is to show those We love how much they mean to Us, as often as We can, because We can neffur know how long they will be with Us. Tomorrow may be Too Late - and this is true for Humans as well as for Cats, especially with this horrible Chinese Coronavirus continuing to rampage throughout the world.

So tell your humans and your furriends and anipals that you love them, show them you care...and be well, all of you.

Purrs from the J-Cats (and Mummy Shimona)
