On the Cusp of Summer: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies With Trixie

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

As you can see, it is ME, Queen Trixie the Black Panfur, Furrst of My Name, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East, Queen of Hearts, Guardian of the Boudoir, Alpha Kitty Extraordinaire, here to lead my fellow J-Cats on the weekend 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 those Deliciously Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet (not forgotting their Dad Tom, to whom We wish Happy Father's Day).

I was having a lovely snooze when Mummy thoughtlessly woke Me up to take My Selfie. For some reason, She thinks photos of kitties who have just woken up are purrticularly cute. 

We have all been snoozing quite a lot these days. It's the best thing for a kitty to do when it's hot - and believe you Me, on the cusp of the Summer Solstice, it is hot, and getting hotter! Mummy also finds herself dozing off more than in winter - which means She doesn't always jump to it when We express a wish for food, or to be petted, or played with. She has also been spending more time out than She should, because She was busy with her Caterwauling Club and their extra-long pre-concert rehearsals. Well, at least last week's concert is now out of the way. You can read about it and hear a couple of extracts in Mummy's Own Blog.

Now, as to Our Caturday Art, We combined the effects available on two of Our Favourite websites. Furrst, We artified the pawtrait using LunaPic's Candy filter at 77%. Then, with the help of PhotoFunia, We hung the finished picture in the Melbourne Gallery.

Here is the final result:

Before We set out to visit Our Furriends, We want to correct a Major Mistake We Mummy made last week, in identifying the pawcelain Dollies who photo-bombed Our Ussie, as Arabella and Laura. In fact, the blondie is Dorothea, not Arabella. And the brunette is Laura, named after Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Purry!

Now We shall put up the blog hop badges. Here they are:

                                                

 

Last, but by no means least, since it appears the Evil Mutant Ninja Coronavirus has not left Us, after all, We think it impawtant to remind you - and your Humans - to continue taking all necessary precautions. 

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
