It's Pur(r)im Once Again! - Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!


Today is Purim - well, except in Jerusalem, where We celebrate it a day later in what is known as Shushan Purim (explanation in the link). So, naturally, We will be having a pawty this evening up in the Enchanted Forest. It will be an all-night pawty, so you will all be able to come, despite the time diffurrences. We will start at 6 pm Israel Time this evening - Sunday March 24th. (We have not yet put the clocks forward). The co-ordinates have been sent to your Transportation Devices, as usual. If you have neffur been to one of Our Pawties, or are new to this blog, drop Us a line in the Comments Section and We will send details directly to whichever of your Teleport Devices you choose!

Since it is Purim, all three of Us have contributed Selfies and Caturday Art for 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.  And Mummy helped Us make beautiful frames, in honour of the festival.

Furrst of all - Queen Trixie.















Trixie always goes as Queen Esther, so here she is, wearing her crown, in a furry colourful artification. We started with LunaPic's Flowers filter at 60%. Then, on top of that, We added the Surreal effect at 80%:
















Next up is Caspurr, the King of the Tigger-Tabbies:



 








































If you are thinking to yourselves that one of his Fangs seems to be missing - you would be right! He had a loose tooth a few months ago, and the v-e-t didn't want to remove it under anaesthetic because of Caspurr being - well, no longer a spring chicken - but it eventually fell out on its own. Caspurr wants to say that he is still awaiting a gift from the Tooth Fairy, but the trouble is, the Tooth Fairy expects a Tooth in exchange for her gift, and since nobody noticed when the tooth fell out, We don't know where it is!
Anyway, here is Caspurr's Purim artification. He, too, is wearing a crown. We used the Cheetah filter at 60% and then added Tuscany at 65%:




























Last, but by no means least is Shimshi, the Little Purrince:


















Shimshi's artsy-fartsy Purim picture uses LunaPic's Nouveau effect, at 88%:

















Here now are the blog hop badges:


        



In other news -  you will have gathered, by now, that Mummy made it safely home from her trip up north last week, to Yodfat and Magdala, without being bombed or getting shot at. She hasn't yet written it up in her own bloggie, because last Thursday, She decided to write instead about mewsic and its role in daily life here in Israel. But She hopes to rectify that later this week, so look out for it.

Well, that just about wraps things up for now. Time to sign off and start blog hopping. 

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

And for those who celebrate it - Purim Sameach (פורים שמח) - Happy Purim.

Those are beautiful selfies and art! I have a tooth here that Mudpie lost if that would help with the Tooth Fairy visit...it's not a fang though...

Tommy and Teaghan said...

Happy Purim! And we love all the art even with the missing toofie. A long time ago with our Angel cat Angie, she had her front toofie taken out. The v.e.t. said that she had now had the "Elvis" look cuz one side of her mouth would stick up or down cuz of the missing tooth. Just so you know if that happens, that it's a cool thing :-) xo.

messymimi said...

Those are wonderful selfies! You all look especially festive, as you should.

May you have a blessed and beautiful Purim, and may peace rule the day and win out. That is my prayer for you all.

Katie Isabella said...

YOU three absolutely did the best best artwork ever for yourselves for Purim. I was there as you know, in the Enchanted Forest. I made sure on leaving that the tunnel and I went over the enemy and I pee- peed all over them.

Love you and your mommy and think of you all the time.

Katie Isabella said...

Truly-- all three of you and including your crowns..just beautiful!

The J-Cats said...

Katie, you are Our Secret Weapon. The Enemy won't know what hit them!

The J-Cats said...

We, too, think that the Toofie disappeared into the belly of the Sucky Monster.

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq) said...

Happy Purim to you all, or is it Purrim for the kitties?
We hope you have lots of fun at your big party. We love your bold and lively artwork. Purrfect for royalty.
