Hallo again, Effurrybody!
It seems there is no end to the stream of furriends flying away to the Rainbow Bridge. This time, it is sweet, beautiful Zoey, of the Island Cats, who was called Home by the Great Cat in the Sky last Wednesday. It was so unexpected and We were completely shocked to read such heartbreaking news!
Why are there so many terrible things happening? Isn't the Evil Coronavirus Pandemic bad enough?
So my Selfie this week, for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop hosted by our Dear Furriends, the Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet, is rather a sad one. I was thinking about Zoey when this picture was snapped, as well as the many other furriends who have been taken from us of late:
As you know, We only post on Sundays, so We are a day late with Our Caturday Art. We used the Stained Glass effect from LunaPic at 75% to make the above photo a little less sad for our entry in the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie:
When We have the Sads, We try furry hard to think of something pawsitive to counter the Bad Thoughts. Mummy says you can always find something, however small and seemingly insignificant. We tried - but not even the discovery of a toy mousie believed to be purr-manently lost, under the sofa, or a delivery from the Pet Food Shop was any help.
Mummy tried too - but her Thoughts kept turning to the skyrocketing numbers of people sick with the Evil Coronavirus, here in Israel and all over the World. And the fact that We are once again (for the THIRD time) in Full Lockdown. She did, however, think of One Little Thing. Now that the Vaccine has arrived, and Humans can go and get stabbed, to be purr-tected against the Virus, almost 20 Purr Cent of the Israeli population has already done so! That's about 1.8 million Humans who have had their furrst dose of the vaccine and will soon be receiving the second and final dose. Mummy also went to the Humans' Stabby Place last week and got vaccinated. And in case you or your Humans were wondering - She can still see her reflection in the Mirror, nothing happens to her when She goes out in the Sun - and She hasn't developed an Aversion to Garlic - more's the Pity (mol, mol, mol).
Hmm - maybe that's not such a "Little" Thing, after all!
It is time for Us to start Blog Hopping now, and before We do, We want to remind you that although the Vaccine is here, we're not out of the woods yet! Make sure your Humans continue to wear their face-masks and practice Social Distancing - and remember! It's up to you to set them a Good Example by Washing Your Paws furrequently.
Now, here are the Blog Hop badges:
Wishing you all Shavua Tov (a Good Week) - and Off We Go!

Yes, we're all really sad about dear Zoey too but we do love your selfie. Y'all stay healthy and safe please.
We are sad about Zoey too.
That's a beautiful selfie and your artwork is amazing!

We're really sad about Zoey's passing, too. My colleagues at the Technion have been keeping me abreast of how things are going there with COVID-19. We are sorry you guys are in lockdown again, but encouraged at how many vaccines are being administered so quickly. Be safe, friends!
We, too, were so sad to read of Zoey's unexpected passing. So hearbreaking for her mom, and Ernie too.
Israel seems to be the world example of how to vaccinate. In Canada, less than 1% of the population has been vaccinated so far, but in fairness to those working night and day, Canada is a vast country with logistical challenges, especially in the northern areas. Eventually we'll all get our turn, but it's going to take all of 2021, we think. In the meantime, our province is under its second full lockdown, and with cases skyrocketing from holiday/Christmas get-togethers, the human suspects that we'll soon have a curfew, just like the province of Quebec. That doesn't bother her, she goes to bed super-early anyway! :-D
Anyway, take care and let's hope the upcoming week brings only positive news, at least in the pet-blogging world. Purrs from Derry.
P.S. We love your stained glass effect, that's beautiful!
What a lovely photo Trixie. And we LOVE your stained glass! That made us smile! We too were saddened by Zoey's abrupt departure for the bridge! Too many have crossed the bridge this year. We send you wishes to Have a Happy Week!
I am so glad your Mom got her vaccination, hooray! Things will get better, there is hope, always hope. Hugs.
I was very sad to hear about Zoey too.
It is good that so many of you have already had your vaccine. I probably won't get mine until March, and they are hoping to get everyone vaccinated by autumn.
I haven't been out since March last year and miss my friends and having people to talk to. We did take a couple of drives up onto the moors last summer, but took a picnic with us so we didn't see anyone.
Your art is lovely.
Beautiful selfie! There's just too much sadness in the world.
Love the colours in the stained glass pic!
Trixie, I really like your colourful art pic!!!
I am also sad to hear about Zoey.
Purrs, Julie
Nice selfie and I love the stained glass effect in your art. It has been a sad week. I am glad your mom was able to get the vaccine. I saw on the news that Israel is doing a much better job of getting it to people that the US is. XO
