It's Looking a Lot Like Autumn: Two Selfies and a Twofur

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

It's Me here, Queen Trixie, Fursst of My Name, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East, Queen of Hearts, Guardian of the Boudoir, Alpha Kitty Extraordinaire!

This week, it is MY Turn to lead the J-Cats on the weekend 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 Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

Here are the blog hop badges, before We forget:

        

We found it hard to choose this time, so you are getting TWO of Me for the Price of One (mol)! 

Here is the second pawtrait:

In fact, since Shimshi felt rather short-changed last week, because instead of artifying his selfie, We posted artifications of Grandpaw, and since We don't want Caspurr to feel left out either, We are giving you an Extra Special Bonus this weekend  - a Twofur of My Pesky Brofurs!

My furrst pawtrait has been artified using LunaPic's Dark filter, at 77%:

We like this because it has kind of a chiaroscuro effect (Mummy likes to use big words like that, because She is taking an Open University online lecture series on Art). 

For the second picture, We used Smoke at 62%, with an overlay of Our Favourite Art Nouveau effect at 38%.

We didn't think about it at the time, but together, that adds up to 100%! Pretty cool, right?

Finally, for Shimshi and Caspurr's Twofur, We chose Fairy at 50%, topped (once again) with Nouveau at 38%:

Now, just to keep you updated - Autumn seems to have decided to make its belated appearance. Last Tuesday, when Mummy was at the Burial Grounds with the rest of the Family, marking Grandpaw's Furrst Rainbow Bridge Anniversary, the Windows of Heaven opened, skywater poured down in rivers, there were flashes of lightning and thunder boomies that made Mummy jump from shock, they were so loud. It felt like the storm was right overhead. It's lucky Grandpaw is buried in the new part of the cemetery, which is under cover.
Anyway, after that, We had a few sunny days, and today, it looks like it's going to be another stormy one! The sky is all grey and overcast, and the weather app on Mummy's phone says We can expect it to be windy and wet all through the afternoon and evening and all through the night, as well as all day tomorrow.
We really wouldn't care, except that Mummy has to go out this evening to Caterwauling Practice, and if the weather is going to be as bad as they say, it will make it furry hard for her to get a taxi.

For those of you who are interested in the Wider Picture of what is going on in Our Neck of the Woods, you can take a look at Mummy's own bloggie.

Now it's time for Us to sign off and start blog hopping.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
