Hallo again and Shalom from Jerusalem, Effurrybuddies!
It is Me again, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), a.k.a the Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard.
This week, it is MY turn to lead the J-Cats as We join the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by the Delightfully Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
Before We go any further, here are their Blog Hop Badges:
The picture you see above is My Sunday Snoozie Selfie. If you look at it furry carefully (biggify if necessary), you will see that I am not really snoozing. I am peeking out through half-closed eyelids, in order to Confuse the Enemy - all the better to purrform My Duties as Captain of the Guard.
In my Caturday Art picture, you can see more clearly how wide-awake I am. Purrhaps I should have used that one for my Sunday Selfie. I don't know. You decide. At any rate, We used several different effects here, all from our favourite, LunaPic.
In Our furrst attempt, We kept things simple, using just the Negative filter:
After that, We Mummy went a little crazy, using Sunshine at 80%, followed by Redblush at 50%, giving a sunny autumnal afternoon effect, and then She added an overlay of autumn leaves at 70% transparency.
It's not too bad, actually, but let Us know what you think in the comments section.
We have been giving some more thought to this Halloween business. As We have mentioned several times, Halloween is not generally "a thing" in Israel. On the other paw, however, there are no more Mewish festivals until Hanukkah, in December - and since We kitties love to party, We have decided to "adopt" Halloween, so We can share in the fun with all of you.
In further Mews, Mummy and her Caterwauling Friends have yet another Project planned for later this week, about which We shall miaow next time. At any rate, that means We must keep this short, so She can go and have a Nice Long Nap before rehearsal tonight.
Before We go, one more reminder that the Evil Coronavirus has not yet been defeated, so it is most impawtant that you and your Humans, whether vaccinated or not, continue to observe all precautions to avoid catching that Sneaky Bug!
Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Shimshi, we love your snoozie selfie! Way to fool the enemy with that almost closed eye trick. :)
Your art turned our so great, too. Good luck to Mummy and the caterwauling club!
Hugs!
That was a good almost snoozie selfie. The negative effect works very well, but I like both art versions. Thank you for the anniversary wishes.
Shimshi, one eye open is the only way to make sure things get done around here I can tell you. PLus it means I have to have a second nap to rest up the open eye!
Ihave to say the negative art confused us (Mrs H) at first, until she read the text. Looks rather awesome. But the autumnal one is our fav.
Hope you staff have a great wailing rehearsal!

I am playing catchup this weekend after the Cat Writers' Conference so, sorry I am late, but I am glad to be here! Sometimes, you know, pushing the filter can really create something amazing!!
