Caspurr the Cat Burglar: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurryone!

I, Caspurr the Courageous, Furrst of My Name, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces and King of the Tigger-Tabbies, am here on behalf of the J-Cats to wish you all Shavua Tov (a Good Week)!

Mummy says I should rightly be called Caspurr the Crafty. MOL. I am crafty. I am Clever. I am - Caspurr, the Caspicacious, King of the Cat Burglars!

How did this come about, I hear you asking. Well, I will tell you.

As you know, Trixie sometimes leaves as much as half her noms, and then goes wandering off, sometimes even indulging in a nap - and then expects to go back to her food bowl and find effurrything as she left it. 
But Shimshi and I think that this constitutes Abandonment. if you leave it, you lose it. So Mummy got into the habit of shutting the door of the Guest Kitty Room, where Trixie has her Private Dining Room, until Her Majesty the Empurress has finished all her noms.  That way, She thought She could prevent Shimshi and Me from what She calls "stealing" Trixie's noms.

No way, We say. 

Closed doors are no obstacle to Us - well, not to Me, at least!





This picture, as you have no doubt guessed, is Our Entry in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by Our Dear Furriends, the Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet. Here is their Badge: 

 

We are also purrticipating, as always, in the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie.  Here is their Badge:





For the Artification, We used a combination of LunaPic's Harsh Light filter, and Dark Art effect (because, in addition to my many other Skills, I am also a Master of the Dark Arts - hehehe) - and here is the result:




And here is a Puzzle!

Before We start blog hopping, here is a short update on the state of the Pandemic in Our Little Corner of the World.


About 2 million humans have already had their first dose of the vaccine and from today, over 45s can now be vaccinated.  Mummy has an appointment next week for her Second Dose.  
That is the Good News. On the Other Paw - it takes time for the vaccinations to have their effect on "The Curve" and meanwhile, there are more than a thousand people in Intensive Care, the rate of Pawsitive results to Tests purrformed over the weekend was about 7.6 purr cent - and nearly four thousand Israelis have flown away to the Humans' Rainbow Bridge after contracting the disease. So this isn't the End. It isn't even the Beginning of the End. It might, however, be the End of the Beginning. Or maybe the Beginning of the Middle. Or maybe just a Muddle?

Oh, dear! We are getting Confused.  We had better just get on with the Blog Hopping.  Before We go, We would remind you all that it is impawtant still to wear facemasks, carry on Social Distancing - and above all, WASH YOUR PAWS!

Be well! Be safe! We love you!

You sure are talented opening that door and your art is wonderful too!

Caspurr, we are impressed by your door opening skills. Our Angel Moosey was also adept at figuring out how to open everything -- cabinets, closets and doors were just puzzles to be solved. :)

Stay safe and healthy, dear pals.

The pandemic is scary here, too. Our mom was lucky to be able to get her first vaccine because she is in the priority group because of her job.

Thanks for your comment on our recent post. Colony caretakers need to work with the community on keeping the shelters in place. If the municipality is against it, they have to be creative and place them maybe in wooded areas and camouflage them.

Catscue said...

I agree, it counts as abandonment - MOL! Very impressive that you can open the door, pawsome.

I am very impressed with your door opening skills! Your art is lovely, and thanks for the puzzle.

YOU - Caspurr the Courageous, Furrst of Your Name, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces and King of the Tigger-Tabbies made us laugh! Mom laughed so hard, coffee came out her nose! We love it when that happens! You Dexterousness is epic and we are furry happy that your servant captured it in film! We are also pleased that you memorialized it with some wonderous art! Here in Canada, our Mom is a little despondent about the vaccinations here. Even though she is a senior and in a "high-risk" group, the forecast for her getting it is August-September. We hope you have a marvellously Happy Day!

You are really sharp Caspurr. I can open cabinets and would like a shot at your doors. Ours have those silly round things, geez dad. So glad your Mum has had her first dose. Our dad says he may have to wait a long time and is not happy about it

Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty said...

pilch92 said...

You are very clever. Did you get in? I love your art. Thank you for the puzzle. No chance of a vaccine for us right now as they are still working on healthcare workers and don't even have enough for them. Stay safe. XO

Oh my goodies...that photo is too cute! And yes, we agree...leave it, you lose it!

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

You are a very clever kitty, Caspurr!
Of the six kitties that have lived here, only the first could open cabinets, but none could open doors!
And you get the prize when you get in that room, Mmmm!

Petcretary had her first dose of vaccine (moderna),and pawppy will get it next week. *She* is a senior, working in a nursing home,and Pawppy is also a senior, and he has a job that sometimes makes him be with peeps in the community. (Yes, we are seniors but we both still work!)

Thanks for the puzzle!

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Taz, and Binq) said...

You are lucky! We just have those round door openers and cant turn them...

Furries said...

Caspurr the Crafty is definitely a good name for you! Not only are you big enough to reach the door handle, you're smart enough to know how to use it! It's great that your mom will get her second vaccination soon. In a few more weeks she will be protected against getting really sick from the virus. Yay!
