Shimshi in Springtime: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!


I, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short) aka The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain-of-the-Guard, am proud to be leading the J-Cats on this weekend's bloggie hops, namely, the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by those Deliciously Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet!

This is My Selfie. How do you like it?













We artified it in two stages. Furrst, We used one of the templates at PhotoFunia to give it a festive, Spring-like atmosphere, by adding daffodils and placing my pawtrait in a picture frame, thus:

















Next, we moved over to LunaPic, and added the Flowers art filter, at 40%. Finally, We framed the whole package and this is the final result:

















We are furry pleased with the way it turned out. How about you?


Now, before We join the bloggie hops, here is an impawtant message from my sisfur, Trixie.

You have the floor, Trixie...



Greetings, effurrybody!


I am feeling extremely discombobulated this meowning.  Right after breakfast, most of which I didn't eat because I have a bad toothache, Mummy kit-napped Me and stuffed Me into a Cage and hauled Me off to the Evil V-e-t! We went by taxi. The taxi dropped Us off outside the clinic - but when Mummy got there, it was all locked up and there was a notice on the door saying they had moved further up the street. The taxi had already gone and Mummy wasn't going to take another one for a journey of less than one minute, so We walked (in the heat) a few hundred meters. It took less than 4 minutes but now Mummy was feeling all discombobulated! She said it was lucky it was Me in the Cage and not Caspurr, who weighs at least twice as much! Anyway, it turns out Dr. Einat has a new v-e-t assisting her, although both doctors were there. They took a look at my toothies and said I have several Bad Teeth that need to come out. But I was furry fierce so Dr. Einat said they would do it under General Anaesthetic. However, for that, I have to be in a Complete Fast (no food or water) so Mummy made an appointment for Me at 10 o'clock tomorrow meowning.  
Well, you know what they say, kitties - forewarned is forearmed. Let's see Mummy even try to get Me in a Cage tomorrow. I shall go UTB tonight already - or even to My Lofty Perch top of the kitchen cabinets. She'll never be able to get at Me there!



Good Luck with that, Sisfur Trixie. It will be furry Amusing to see who out-smarts whom. Mummy can be furry crafty sometimes. She has learned a lot over the years....

And, speaking of Mummy - Furriday is Her Birthday. She will be - let's see...
About a bazillion years old by My Reckoning! I must devise some New and Spectacular Mischief in Her Honour (mol).


Now, back to the Blog Hops. Here are the Badges:

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

A perfectly done selfie and though hardly possible, even More Perfect ART ... wow, it is so, so good, we love it!

As for the toof-stuff, good luck, June is also an escape artist extraordinaire when it comes to trying to get her into her carrier to go anywhere ... but sadly we have not yet learned many tricks ...

Good luck!

Your selfie is lovely, and your art is beautiful, Shimshi.
Don't hide Trixie, you will feel much better without those nasty toofies.

We're so sorry you have some bad teeth, Trixie. We know it is not fun to go to the vet, but you will feel so much better after those are removed. We promise. Sending lots of purrs and prayers.

P.S. Happy early birthday to your mummy!

Kea said...

Shimshi, we love your selfie and we really LOVE your finished artwork, it's fabulous!

Trixie, we're sorry about the vet appointment and the dental, but hope all goes well. Derry has had either 14 or 16 teeth removed since he was 3 years old, the biped forgets now, so he does empathize! We wish you a speedy recovery!

Walking anywhere in the heat is a no no around these parts. But we guess for a minute it was worth it. As for the teeth being meddled with, well, I've been known to nip a few hands that come near when I get tooth ache. But, better out than in is the order of the day, PLUS you get to have extra special nice soft comestibles as a treat afterwards :)
Happy birthday wishes to your staff, hopefully there wont be a billion candles to blow out!
