Ecco La Primavera - Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybody!


Queen Trixie here again! How have you all been keeping? What crazy weather we've all been having! Furrst rain, then sunshine, then rain again, then sunshine again. No wonder it's driven all the March hares mad (mol)!

It is My turn to lead my fellow J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, led by the Divinely Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by Our Dear Furriends, the Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

I am furry, furry pleased with this week's selfie. I think it shows up all My Best Points to purrfection, don't you?




























And here is the artified verson, using LunaPic's Art Nouveau filter at 62%:



























However, in honour of the Spring Equinox, which is tomorrow, I have also invited my brofurs to join me for the Caturday Art, in a painting by Signor Botticelli (aka Pussicelli), La Primavera:















For this, We added a filter of Flowers at 62% to the original painting. 









Flowers is a furry suitable filter for Spring, but since today is rather rainy and overcast, We also tried out the Dark filter, at 45% and then the Grey filter at 50%:











In both of the latter, We think We are more clearly visible than in the one with the Flowers filter - but there is no denying that Flowers are much more suitable for Spring and much more what We hope to see!
Let Us know what you think in the Comments section below.


We noticed that some of you have already moved your clocks forward to Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time, or whatever it's called in your part of the world. Here in Israel, that will be happening later in the week, on the night between Fursday and Furriday. We view that with disfavour, of course - as We do anything that alters Our Sleep Schedule - although We have taken note that moving the clock forward an hour means We should receive Our Breakfast an hour earlier. We hope Mummy realises this. If not, you can be sure We shall voice Our Displeasure - LOUDLY (mol).

Now it is time to put up the blog hop badges. Here they are:




        


Till next week then.



Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

That is a beautiful selfie. Our clocks change at 2am next Sunday, but of course I am not staying up until then and will do it before I go to bed.

That's a gorgeous selfie. We changed time last week and still are getting used to it.

What a marvellous display! Such lucious fur.
Those images, those scantily clad humans; we're not sure what is going on, but you all have the best idea: sleep through it, MOL

Oh Queen Trixie, your floofy furs are purrfection. And yes, we more clearly see the 3 of you in the last two arts. But the one of you in stain glass is magnifico. I was so sound asleep with the loss of an hour of my necessary sleep schedule, Lynn had to wake me up. I do hope you do not have to wake up your Mum. Any news on CaliCallou? Precious

Queen Trixie, that is a very beautiful selfie! We are wowed by your floofiness.

And how nice to see your brothers in that great art. We hope the time change goes smoothly for you. Hugs!

She comes to the front porch to be fed every day, usually more than once. But various issues are hindering the adoption, mostly connected to the (lack of) availability of the Guest/Kitty Room for various reasons, until after Pessach (Passover).

Your selfie is amazing. Botticelli is one of Mum's fave artists and we love all the different filters you used, Looks better with all the kitties!

An exceptional selfie, and such lovely art too!

Your selfie is as lovely as you are and it should be. TW has a few real jigsaw puzzles of Botticelli works but not that one. She would have remembered you cats.

That's a purrfect Selfie, Queen Trixie and that artwork, also the painting, is amazing. We especially like the flower filter on it. Purrfectly done! We don't like DST, and it takes us till Wintertime to get used to it...Aargh🙈
