Oneg Shabbat: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

Trixie here, ready to lead my Fellow 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 the Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

But before We do that, I want to explain to you what an Oneg Shabbat is. Literally, it means "the Delight/Joy of the Sabbath". It's a way of extending the joy of the Sabbath evening meal and get-together far into the night, with songs and storytelling (and maybe a few snacks as well - MOL). Like all good Mewish cats, We have a an Oneg Shabbat effurry Furriday evening, after Mummy has gone to bed. I suppose you could see it as a furry special kind of pawty (as you know, We J-Cats LOVE pawties of effurry kind). But it's not just about scoffing loads of noms. We also have an artistic programme, which is both fun and educational. In order to make sure things are done propurrly, We have a committee of five to arrange effurrything. Our Committee consists of three (semi) purr-manent members, elected for a two year period, and two rotating members, who change on a quarterly basis. The current purr-manent members are three of Our Pawselain Dolly sisters, Miss Dorothea, Miss Laura and Ms. Lottie, whom you have met before, many times. The current rotating members are My Brofur, Caspurr and another member of Mummy's Collection - Mr. Twizzle, to whom We shall introduce you later on.

Now, as I said, We like Our Oneg Shabbat pawties to be both fun and educational. Last Furriday, We had a Comic Conjuring routine by Mr. Twizzle.

After that, We heard a furry interesting lecture by Miss Natalia about her native St. Petersburg. She told Us all about the world-famous Hermitage Mewseum and the Cats who live there. 

If you are interested, you can read about Mummy's 2017 visit to St. Petersburg with her Caterwauling Club, on her own blog.

Mummy has been a source of Ins-purration for Us with her Caterwauling - so much so, that several members of her Collection have sought to e-mew-late her by founding their own mewsical ensembles. Thus, the Oneg Shabbat concluded with a delightful purr-formance by the Von Katz Family Singers:

After that, I was totally exhausticated and fell into a deep, sweet slumber:

I slept through most of the following day, in fact and refused to get up even to take a Selfie - which is why you will have to content yourselves with this picture of Me, peacefully snoozing.

Mummy also made two artifications of My Sunday Snoozie Selfie.

The furrst one uses LunaPic's Ceremony filter at 70%, washed over with Floating at 30%:

The second version uses Connections at 40%:

Now it is time to put up the blog hop badges:

     

That's all for this week, dear furriends.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
