Shimshi's Sunpuddle: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

 Greetings, Effurrybuddies!

The Mighty Shimshon here (Shimshi for short), aka The Little Purrince, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard, repurresenting the J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Divinely Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by Our Wonderful Furriends, the Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

It has been a furry cold, rainy week, culminating in snow at the Mt. Hermon ski site - which effurryone had been eagerly looking forward to - but there have been some sunny spells, during the course of which, I managed to find a sun puddle on the living room sofa (until Mummy pulled down the shutters because the sunlight was falling directly on the television and making it hard to see the screen).

At all events, it gave Me a purrfect oppurtunity to snap My Sunday Selfie.

For Our Caturday Art, We made three different artifications with the help of LunaPic. That is because Mummy always finds it hard to decide - so We invite YOU, Our Faithful Furriends, to choose your own favourite.

Furrst of all, here is one using the brilliant colours of Stained Glass:

Next, a filter that Mummy doesn't recall using before - or, at any rate, not for a long time - Connections:

It has a kind of abstract look, doesn't it? Quite unlike the mediaeval cathedral look of the Stained Glass.

And finally, one that Mummy is pretty sure she has neffur used before - Mushrooms. Not that you would effur find Me sitting still for long enough to let mushrooms grow on Me (mol):

And now, it's over to you. Which one do you like best?  

Here are the blog hop badges, before We Mummy forgets:

        

Furriends, We have been hearing a lot of dire news about rising prices - not just here in Israel, but all over the world. We hear that many Humans, especially the elderly, are actually having to choose between buying food and buying necessary medications!!! There are also many elderly people who, despite their difficult financial circumstances, put their pets furrst and buy food for them, before thinking of themselves - but are finding it harder and harder to do so. 

And, of course, this situation has also led to a drop in donations to animal shelters.

Naturally, this has sparked protests. 

So We think We should start a campaign for Free Food for Pets - and I am proud to offur My Own Image as presenter for that campaign:

We have saved the Best till last! Basil and the Epically Pawsome B Team have included Us in the BBHQ List of the Best Cat Blogs of 2023!

We are so thrilled and honoured to be able to display this badge on Our Blog:

Thank you so much, guys!

Now, that really is all for this week, Dear Furriends.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
