Photobomb! Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies With - the Three of Us

Greetings, Effurrybody!

Today, it was supposed to be My Turn to lead my fursibs 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 Delicious and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

However, as you will see, things didn't quite turn out as planned!

I got photobombed by those pesky mancats, My Brofurs!

I wanted Mummy to retake the photo - or else to use one of the many photo editing apps available to simply vanish them from My Pawtrait, but Mummy had other ideas. She said that I would, instead, lead the blog hops next week, for My Birthday, and that She would turn this - PHOTO FAIL - into a beautiful, artsy-fartsy Ussie.

Well, since I am, at least, in the foreground and all eyes are naturally drawn to Me, I yielded gracefully - and here are the results.

Artification no. #1 - using LunaPic's Bridge art effect at 78%: 

Artification no. #2 - using a new (for Mummy) effect called Submarine, at 51%:

And finally, no. #3, using a combination of Flowers (38%) and Sadness (25%):

Mummy is, in fact, feeling a good deal of sadness this weekend, over the deep rift in Israeli society because of the battle over the plan for judicial reform, which you might have read or heard about in the media (although probably skewed in such a way as to show Israel in the worst pawssible light). You know kitties, yesterday, July 29th, was the 49th anniversary of her immigration to Israel. How could She have imagined, all those years ago, on the eve of such an Adventure, and full of Hope, what the Future would hold? 

But We are not going to write about that now, because it makes Mummy so furry sad even to think about it. Maybe She will write about it in her own bloggie, but then again, maybe not - because, as We said, it breaks her heart even to think about it. 

Instead, We are going to introduce you to two more members of Mummy's Collection, and tell you about the wonderful Oneg Shabbat We had on Furriday night.

Please welcome Selena and Algernon!

Selena and Algernon are classically trained caterwaulers, who have appeared on the stages of the world's greatest shrines to Mewsic - such as the Metro-paw-litan Opurra of Mew York, Claw-vent Garden in London and the Purris Opurra. They gave Us a most enlightening talk on the History of Opurra and and then treated Us to a recital of famous arias and duets. We finished up with a few rousing opurra choruses, which they taught Us.

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

        

And that's all for this week, dear furriends. We hope to catch you later as We hop those blogs. 

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
