Posing Like A Panfur: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies With Trixie

Hallo again, Effurrybody!


Mummy woke Me up to remind Me that it is My Turn to lead the J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - 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 Sweetly Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

You know, kitties, it's bad enough to have My Beauty Sleep interrupted to take a Selfie, but it's even worse that Mummy didn't even give me time to get My Beautiful Furs in order before letting loose with the Flashy Box!













I insisted on being allowed time to purrform my Toilette, before posing propurrly, like this:













That's much better, don't you think?


We tried three different artifications from LunaPic for Our Caturday Art. Here is the furrst - Crayon at 30%, to give just the merest hint of pink colour to my black furs:













I wasn't completely satisfied with that one, so next up, We tried Frost, at 50% (which you might consider an odd choice, considering the furry satisfying rise in tempurrature this past week):













Mummy felt there was still something missing, so Our Third and Final Attempt was created using the Dark effect at 70%:












We both think that this time, We nailed it. 
Still, you know what they say - 
chacun à son goût.


Let Us know in the comment section which is your favourite.

Before We set out on the bloggie hops, We want to remind you that this coming Fursday is Israel Independence Day. It is preceded on Wednesday by Remembrance Day for the Fallen of Israel's Wars, and comes exactly one week after Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day, about which Mummy wrote in her own blog.

On Independence Day, We will be holding Our Traditional Barbecue up in the Enchanted Forest. We are so glad that the Evil Mutant Ninja Coronavirus has retreated sufficiently for Us to be able to have pawties once more and that We can invite you all to join Us at 2 pm Israel Time on Fursday. The exact co-ordinates will be sent to your Transporter Devices. If any anipal needs a lift, let Us know. We can send a Magical Flying Carpet to pick you up.

Here, now, are the blog hop badges:


              


That's it for now, Dear Furriends. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Independence Day Barbecue on Fursday.

Till then, take care of yourselves and of your Humans.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Lovely ~ perhaps we like "Dark" the best, highlighting the golden tips of your furs, it is very pretty, as you are!
We wish you pleasant holidays to come in the days ahead.

We really like the last art effect the best.

Sometimes our peeps are not the best at timing when it comes to helping us take our selfies!

Have a great week...We think it will be busy at your den...

Kea said...

We love the dark one too!

BTW, we also love your first selfie, your eyes have a slightly crazed look in them. LOL. We know it's just the angle and the light, but we thought it was adorable. It reminded the biped of her angel Annie's occasional expressions. :-)

M Dawson said...

I am so late with this I am early for next week so I am sorry. Family and then friend issues intervened but the Dash Kitten Crew are here now. I love your third filter it looks dramatic with just a hint of chocolate.

Savannah's Paw Tracks said...

Trixie I really like that last one, the dark one. Your furs look stunning in it. Glad you got to straighten out your furs before having to take another selfie. Purrs

Erin the Cat Princess said...

The frosty image definitely has our vote of the art work.
Being expected to do a photo shoot without make up or grooming is just typical of humans. Glad you put your paw down and told them whats what, MOL
Purrs

Katie Isabella said...

I think that second one, you gorgeous girl with the toe beans of Glamour!

Katie Isabella said...

Trixie, would you like to come through and enjoy a Catnip Julep on the deck, looking at the woods and all of the prey out there? You have the coordinates...come on over.

The J-Cats said...

I am on my way!
