Tummy Shots With Shimshi: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!


It's Me again - The Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short) aka The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard.















I have to admit, it's still so hot, it's furry hard to get My Brain to work propurrly and plan New Mischiefs. In fact, all a kitty wants to do in this weather is chill out (if such a thing is humanly felinely pawssible) and nap.
However, it isn't quite as bad as it has been. It's hovering around 30 degrees Celsius, which is a VAST improvement on last week.

Anyway, it is MY turn this week to repurresent my fellow J-Cats in 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 Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

Here are the blog hop badges, before We forget:


        


Since Trixie and Caspurr's last selfies were Tummy Shots, which made effurryone squee, I decided to bow to Public Demand and add my own Tummy Shot. I hope you like it, as well as Our Choice of Artification.

As so often before, We used a filter and frame from LunaPic:














This was the Stained Glass filter, which We know is a favourite with many of you. It certainly is with Us!

We also thought this version, where a tapestry based on the artification hangs in the PhotoFunia Gallery, would please you:


















Mummy hasn't been doing much this week, as She, too, has been overwhelmed by the heat, but She did find time to make some tuna patties. She was inspired to do so by Katie Isabella's Mommy, who posted on Facebook about the salmon patties she made. Mummy thought She could do something similar with tuna. She was furry satisfied with her tuna patties, but as She scoffed the whole lot and didn't share them with Us, We are unable to express an opinion! She says they had chopped onion in them, and that onion is furry bad for kitties - but We suspect that is just a Feeble Excuse!!!

Now, Dear Anipals, as Mummy's Caterwauling Club is still on vacation till next month, and She has a bit more time, We made her go and create a jigsaw puzzle for you this week - and here it is.

And now, it's time to visit Our Furriends. Till next week then.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

We love your tummy selfie! Tuna and salmon patties both sound yummy.

Erin the Cat Princess said...

I think a tummy shot in 30c is an absolute on-trend selfie. Especially as you have tiled floors. You look so happy and cool, Shimshi. And your artwork is a hugely worthwhile exhibition piece. We love that there is a clear, almost halo around your exalted personage.

Shimshi, we love your selfie. And your tummy!

Thos tuna patties sound delicious -- too bad about the onions. It would have been nice if you could try them, right?

Hugs!

That is a lovely tummy and art. Shame on your Mummy, she should have made some patties without the onion just for you and your brother and sister.

Shimshi, your tummy selfie and art work are definitely squee-worthy! I love both! However, I'm heartily disappointed on your behalf that your human didn't see fit to give you all a bit of tuna BEFORE she made it into patties!

Take care and stay cool if you can.
