Caspurr Wishes He Could Hibernate: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurryone!

You know, sometimes a Kitty wishes he was a Bear, or a Turtle, or a Ground Squirrel - even a Groundhog! That way, said Kitty could sleep all through the winter.

What brought this on, you may ask. I'll tell you! After a few sunny days last week, the rains are back with a vengeance, and likely to carry on all week. And not just rain. High winds, storms - even snow. And it's beastly cold. Even Mummy would like to hibernate! 

So, there I was, all curled up snoozing, oblivious to the world and blissfully unaware that it was My Turn to lead My Fellow J-Cats 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 Snoozies Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Delightfully and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

























Until Mummy came and woke Me up, that is...















Why, Mummy, why?! 

Oh! A selfie of My Handsome Self? Well, of course, I mustn't disappoint My Fans!

But let's make it quick, okay? 

Do I really have to pose? Oh, well - if you insist...















And now, if you don't mind, I would like to go back to sleep.
What's that? Artifications? 

Sigh...


Okay. This one uses LunaPic's Dreaming effect at 50%:














Yes, Mummy. I said "Dreaming". 
Yes, that was a hint.....


And this one, of the moment I was so rudely awakened, uses Floating at 55%, lightly washed with Scribble, at 15%:















And finally, My Official Sunday Selfie Pose - artified with Fairy at 60% with an overlay of Beauty at 30%:














I can't decide which is the best. Neither can Mummy. What do YOU think?


Now, here are the blog hop badges.


        


And before I go back to sleep, let me wish all my Anipals - and their Humans - a Good Week, or, as We say in Hebrew - Shavua Tov (שבוע טוב).

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Dear Caspurr, we like the art picture called floating because we like the turquoise, that's one of our favorite colors. It's been snowing 2 weeks ago and now it's been raining and flooding for this week. I do lots of sleeping while Lynn gets aggravated that she can't take long walks. It won't be long before February 2nd, which is a groundhog holiday. Poor things come out and tell us rather spring is going to be here in 6 weeks or longer. Then they go back to bed where they belong.

Somedays, it is better to just curl up between meals an nap! Spring will come eventually and that is some of the best outside times.

IT's raining and raining and raining here. It was snowing and now it's raining. Caspurr, Shimshi, Trixie...let's pack a lunch (well, your mom) and head for the Enchanted Forest. Are there Cyprus trees there? And let's eat and nap and play there.

Your official pose is lovely, and that is my favourite artsy effect too.

A nap until the end of winter sounds purrfect, Caspurr! Sending you all good things and lots of love. Shavua Tov.

Kea said...

I'd like to hibernate too. 😁

All your selfies and art are wonderful. I like your third selfie the best, you are a pawsome model! And I like the colours of the floating effect the best. 🙂

Take care and stay well.

Dearest J–Cats,
Agree completely with the longing to hibernate...
We had two days with 26°C and 25°C and back to half of that with wind and rain.
Slept very well though and that proves it IS hibernate weather.
Love all the original photos Caspurr ✡️
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties

Oh, these are delightful photos and artworks. They are all the best.

I pray you have a good week, and I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Linda said...

I think the official one is best. I hope you got to go back to sleep and got a great nap.

Adorable selfie. For the art, it is a tie between the last 2. XO

You are purrfect!!! Hibernating does sound like an excellent idea.

Brian's Home Blog said...

We can so relate and we've had awful rains here too. But, your selfie is most wonderful and so is your art. Y'all stay safe, we're thinking of you all.

Kitties Blue said...

Your photos are adorable, but the selfie is our favorite, as is the center art piece. Your selfie position is one of our AUDREY'S FAVORITES. WE WISH YOU A VERY GOOD WEEK. TRY TO STAY WARM AND DRY.

Caspurr, that selfie is purrfect! Glad you woke up for it.

messymimi said...

On my blog you asked about the Ladies' Circle. The church I attend has 12 of them, we gather once a month to talk about a book we are all reading. Also to have snacks, because if you feed them, they will come!

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

She couldn't give you a break and ask someother kitty to fill in for you?? MOL!

We loved your pose! And the arts are all great, too hard to choose.

CCL Wendy said...

I'm pawtial to the last piece of artwork because I like Caspurr's expression. They are all fantabulous, though. We hope you get some better weather real soon. In the meantime, Happy Napping!

Furries said...

Oh, in the first artwork you're all tiger stripey. Very cool.
