Trixie Looks Forward To Spring: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies - and Yet Another Goodbye

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

Queen Trixie here, 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 Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Delightfully and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

But before We do that, We have yet another sad goodbye to make, to the lovely Lola, the Rescued Cat, who has received her Angel Wings and left, far too soon,  for the Rainbow Bridge, to join so many sweet furriends who have gone before.
Fly free, Lola. We know you will be safe and cared for in the Loving Paw of the Great Cat in the Sky. Our sincerest condolences to your Mommy, Dawn, and your sisfur, Lexy.

And now for some good news, which seems to be furry rare these days. One of Mummy's "outdoor kitties", Gibori, the ginger kitty whom Mummy has mentioned in the past, who seemed to have some kind of skin disease and whom She hasn't seen for months, has reappeared and has come to take his supper on Our Front Porch a couple of times. Mummy didn't get too good a look at his neck, but She thinks the sore seems to have cleared up. She is furry relieved that he is back, because She had been fearing The Worst.

And another bit of good news is that after a few days of heavy rain last week, the weather has turned fairly warm (about 18 - 20 degrees Celsius) and sunny, so We have begun to believe Spring just might not be so far away. Let's hope so, anyway. Like Mummy, We aren't too fond of Winter.

Now, here are My Selfies. I am not usually all that cooperative when it comes to taking selfies - unlike my brofurs - but this time, I posed for TWO.

Here they are:

We artified this one using LunaPic's Dark effect at 50%, with an overlay of Floating, at 20%.

And in this one, I am reclining on the stool in front of the dressing-table, in My Boudoir, surveying My Domain:

The artification this time was created using LunaPic's Beauty effect at 50%, after which We added the Harsh Lighting filter at 20%, just to give it a bit more edge.

Tell Us in the Comments section which you prefurr.

Now, here are the blog hop badges (which We nearly forgot)!

        

Well, that's all for now, dear furriends. We'll see you again next week.

Till then - Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
