Guest Selfies and Caturday Art With CalliCallou

Greetings, One and All!

Today, We have a Special treat for you! The beautiful CalliCallou, one of Mummy's "Outside Cats", has graciously agreed to take part in 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

As you can see, this adorable calico princess feels completely at home on Mummy's front porch. In fact, she has decided that it is Her Territory and will vigorously and vociferously defend it against other cats hopeful of partaking in Mummy's Bounty. The only other cat with whom she will agree to share the Spoils is Melba, who might be either her sister or her daughter (We think the latter). But don't worry, Mummy puts food for other homeless kitties outside the gate. 
Speaking of the other homeless kitties, We are delighted to report that Gibori, who hasn't been around for ages, and whom Mummy feared She would neffur see again, put in an appearance the week before last.

Anyway, here are a couple of photos of CalliCallou. 

In this one, she is resting after a meal, in the shade of the flowerpots:

We made three different artifications of this photo, with the help of LunaPic.

The furrst one uses the Fairy effect, at 37%:

We think CalliCallou looks rather thin and bedraggled in this one. In the next artification, she looks rather more perky. Maybe because it uses Quirky (mol) at 64%:

The third artification uses Psychedelic at 65%:

And now for a picture of CalliCallou all alert and ready to defend "her" Territory against all comers:

We made a furry artsy-fartsy version of this one, using the Flowers effect at 37%:

Next, in a complete change of mood, We tried the Dark filter, at 34%:

And finally, back to being bright and colourful, with Delaunay at 50%:

In Israel, We call calico cats like CalliCallou "Tricolor", which the same as the French "Tricouleur". Coincidentally, that is furry appropriate for today, because the 14th of July is the French National Day - Bastille Day.
It is also the day on which beautiful Princess Pixie, one of the J-Cats who went before, used to celebrate her Birthday. She is no doubt celebrating it now at the Rainbow Bridge - together with Grandpaw, who would have been 97 years old yesterday, July 13th. Remembering them both is making Mummy's eyes leak .....

Before We set out on the blog hops, We want to let you know that Mummy finally got round to writing in her own bloggie about her Caterwauling Club's concert at the end of last month. It includes some video-clips of the Concert - so, if you like Mewsic, why not pop over and take a look?

And now, it's time to get on with the blog-hopping. 

See you next week - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel!

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