Lazy Days: Caturday Art And Sunday Selfies With Caspurr

Greetings, Effurryone!

After a few cool days towards the end of last week, the tempurratures are rising again. We are looking at temps in the upper-30s C over the next few days. Mummy has another one of her field trips tomorrow and it's going to be furry, furry hot (39 degrees C)!

We kitties, on the other hand, can allow ourselves the Luxury of staying home and stretching out on the cool floor, or in the shade under the bed. This time, We don't mind if Mummy pulls down the blinds!

Howeffur, We will exert Ourselves sufficiently to hold Our Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Liberation Day) picnic on Wednesday, June 5th. That is the day when We celebrate the Reunification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War, 57 years ago.  As usual, the picnic will take place in the Enchanted Forest, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. We hope you will join Us there - at 5pm in the afternoon, Israel Time. By that time of the day, it will be slightly cooler - but just in case it isn't, there will be plenty of cold drinks, and mice cream. We have just purrfected the recipe for a new flavour - Valerian mice cream!

And now for the weekend 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

I, Caspurr, the King of the Tigger Tabbies (to give the shortened form of My Title), will be leading the J-Cats on this week's blog hops. As so often happens, We had quite a job picking out ONLY three selfies - all of which We artified with the help of LunaPic. 

In this furrst one, Mummy had just woken Me up - or maybe I woke up by Myself. I can't remember really, and it doesn't really matter now, does it?





We artified  this with Picasso at 64%, followed by Beauty at 33%.







Next up, here is a snapshot of Me doing what any Feline would do, having been rudely and unexpectedly awakened.






Am I yawning or am I roaring? Can you guess? I had ample justification for either - or both!

Anyway, the artsy-fartsy version of this uses Fairy at 55%.








Finally, a Close-up of Me and My Raspy Little Pink Tongue (that's what Mummy calls it - mol).







And what do you think of the artified version, which uses Vangogh at 80%? It looks a bit as if I am wearing lipstick, doesn't it (mol)?






Next, it is time to put up the blog hop badges:


        


Now, don't forget the Picnic on Wednesday. We are looking forward to seeing you. We absolutely LOVE welcoming Our Furriends to Our Pawties and Picnics!

Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.

King Caspurr, we think you are roaring 'cause of nap interruption. That's a serious offense by the hooman. Howevfur, we think the art work is wonderful. And what a joyous occasion on June 5. We think we may try the teleport to come in time fur those mice. Precious

Leah said...

Caspurr, your selfies are all stunning! I think the art version of the first picture might be my favorite, but it's hard to choose. They're all so snazzy!

CCL Wendy said...

Caspurr, yes, you really have elevated this selfie thing to an art. Even the unartified pictures are artful. I love them all, though I think my fave this week is number 2.

Hope your peeps enjoy their Jerusalem Liberation Day picnic without getting sunburn or heatstroke. Your kitties are very cool and wish to remain so. Take care.

You have every right to roar! The first artsy version is my favourite.

messymimi said...

You are yawning roaringly, I'd say, and my favorite picture is the Tongue-Out Photo. Those are always wonderful when a cat will deign to allow us to snap one.

My cats, Dansig the Round, Link Linker the Stinker, the Charismatic Enigma SissyCat, and the Tripod SissyCat, insisted not long ago I had no choice but to go find their tunnel when they found out they were missing out on so many pawties around the blogosphere. They'd quit bothering to play with it, not knowing it could teleport them, but we figured it out and now they are ready to attend and celebrate with all of you.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Nice selfies, very cute tongue. I like all the art work too. XO

Kea said...

Caspurr, I love your selfies. I can imagine that you were sticking out your tongue in a rude gesture at the flashy box. 😁

My favourite art is the first, I love the colours!

Have a great week and stay cool, especially your mum while she's on her field trip.

Katie Isabella said...

Valerian Micecream? I would be there at the Enchanted Forest anyway for the celebration but knowing what our feast will be ensures I get there early. Caspurr??? You too?

Katie Isabella said...

Oh, tell your Mommy that yes, I play with Lion, Donkey and Floppy Mousies... two of them AND Fat Pink Mousie but Floppy Ducky has gone missing!

Katie Isabella said...

I bring some of them to our bedroom.

Me and dad love the natural raspberry photo, and yeah, the artified version does look like you're wearing lipstick! Now that it's getting hot here, mom's taken up all the pieces of carpet and the porcelain tile floor feels good on my furs.
