Caspurr's Scorching Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurryone!


What can I say? It's HOT!!! 
It's the kind of weather in which no Cat with a grain of sense would go anywhere near a Tin Roof. The kind of weather in which it would be a CRIME to do anything but SNOOZE! As I, Sir Caspurr the Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of My Name, the Snuggle Bug, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Guard and King of the Tigger Tabbies, am doing here:




















Well, actually, I can't go to sleep just yet, because I have a furry impawtant job to do today.

Can you guess what it is?

You are quite right! It is My Turn to lead my fellow J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Eternally Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Snoozies Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Always Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.


We chose two selfies this week, and made two different artsy-fartsy versions of each. 


For no. 1, We used LunaPic's Shattered Effect at 35% and then added Ceremony at 50%:






















The second artification used Escher at 46%, with an overlay of Beauty at 41% (also from LunaPic).























Note that this pawtrait showcases three of My Best Features - Tongue, Toes and Tummy!


Now for Selfie no. 2.  In this one, I had retired to the bedroom, in anticipation of Mummy joining Me there for Her Own Afternoon Nap.


























Here, too, We were assisted by the Gremlins at LunaPic (mol). See this beautiful artification, using their Dark filter (71%), with a Monochrome overlay (31%) - furry dramatic, We think!





















Finally, We combined the Starry2 effect at 52%, with Smoke at 28%.























Do tell Us, in the Comments section below, which is your Favourite!


Now, as We mentioned last week, Mummy's Caterwauling Club gave a concert on Fursday.  She will most likely write all about it in her Own Bloggie either tomorrow or later on in the week. She did tell Us that it was unbearably hot in the Old City church where the concert was held. They don't seem to have installed Air Conditioning there, and they had to make do with strategically placed electric fans. Mummy thinks it was worse for the audience, because we had commandeered all the available fans for the use of the choir.
Anyway, that concert marked the end of the 2023/24 season, so Mummy doesn't have a rehearsal tonight and can stay home and caterwaul for Us, instead!


Now, it is time to start blog-hopping. Here are the blog hop badges:




        



Till next week then - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel.

Be well.  Be safe.  We love you all.

We had a hot week in England, but it's cooler today. Our homes can get very hot upstairs and so sleeping can be hard, but then so can trying to do anything else!

Linda said...

All the pictures look very nice. It was really hot here so we had to find places to walk in the shade.

All of your art is lovely, and I can't decide on a favourite.

WoW! You guys are HOT! We are not looking forward to Hots! We are having seasonal weather that we have NOT had for the last 3 years. Mom says all the rain makes the grass and weeds grow and that means in addition to the new puppy, and creating all the Cat Brogosphere badges, she has extra gardening! We think she is a whiner! Thanks for stopping by!
The ART is spectacular and keep being awesome guys Purrs Marvelous Marv, Kozmo, Jo Jo, Cinnamon & Nutmeng

The heat is on full blast here too, Caspurr! We love your sleepy sprawl in the first picture, and that second artification is way 😎 cool. But wow, we love the second picture too, and the artification really make your stripes stand out ... So, we just can't choose!

CCL Wendy said...

I loved the one of Caspurr snoozing, it's a good thing he did considering the heat. Your art pieces are always outstanding. I think the second artification is the best and brightest.

Your poor Mom! I can't imagine gathering with a group in an enclosed space where everyone is emitting hot air as they sing. It's a wonder no one fainted.

At least Mom can rest until the Caterwauling starts up again.

meowmeowmans said...

That first one is a lovely selfie, Caspurr. It shows your handsome tummy and also how hot it is there. We also loved that second one, and the artification. It's pawsome! We hope things start to cool off there for you all real soon. XO

Adorable selfies Caspurr. I like all the art, but my favorite is the last one. I like how your mum combines two effects. XO

Sir Caspurr - we agree that napping is the only thing to do when it is HOT, and it has been very hot here too. We love all your artwork. Mom is going to have to practice using two Lunapic options at a time, like you do - so nicely done.

Woos - Misty and Timber

M Dawson said...

LOL Oooh you look as though you are melting into a puddle! Escher looks so painterly!

messymimi said...

I do like the first selfie best, just as it is. My second favorite would be the first artification of the second selfie. Now my tongue is twisted from saying it!

Tell your Mummy I am looking forward to hearing about the Concert.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

I love your stretched out and cooling down selfie Sir Caspurr and the art is most wonderful. Y'all be safe over there, we're always thinking about you.

Sleeping through the heat is the very best way to get through it!

Katie Isabella said...

Oh, you made me laugh with several things you told us, and the poor audience listening to the caterwauling...woe are they!! Our temps are in the mid 90's f.

You can all join your mummy in caterwauling there at home! Great idea. The neighbors will LOVE the concert.

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

I really liked your first imzge with thew art ones, too...but its hard to pick any of them as a fave...
I hope the hots give way to some nicer temps for all of you. Bravo to your Mum, and her choir, for singing at the concert in those awful conditions.
