An Ussie and A Guest Selfie: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybody!

We have something furry special for you, as We set out 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

Can you guess what the surprise is?

That's right! It's a rare shot of the Three of Us, curled up together contentedly on the sofa: 

We also made a beautiful artification of this, using LunaPic's Frida effect (one of Our Favourites, which We haven't used for a while) at 55%, washed over with an overlay of the Flash Gordon effect at 34%:

The picture is quite small and it's hard to see Trixie, half hidden behind the arm-rest, so We suggest you biggify it.

We said We have a Surprise for you, but actually, We meant a Couple of Surprises. We think We have mentioned that since October 7th last year, Mummy has taken to feeding the Homeless Kitties of Our Street on Our Entrance Porch, rather than go down at night to feed them. But her next door neighbour asked her not to, because when she comes home late at night, sometimes a kitty jumps out suddenly and scares her. So Mummy came to an agreement with the Neighbour that She would feed only CalliCallou and Melba on the enclosed entrance porch, and would feed the other Homeless Kitties at their former feeding spot further down the road. Mummy would have been happy to feed all of them within the enclosed part of the porch, but CalliCallou has become furry territorial and regards it as Her Purrsonal Domain (although she will tolerate Melba's presence).

This new arrangement does have an advantage however, as it means that Mummy can feed many more kitties this way (since the enclosed entrance porch is quite small).

Having said that, it must be pointed out that kitties are furry smart creatures and they know where Mummy lives. Today, Mummy found this sweet little ladycat curled up and resting among the flowerpots in the enclosure. Mummy thinks she is expecting kittens. At any rate, she obviously knows that Mummy's entrance porch is a Safe Place.

So Mummy fed her and gave her some water, and then asked her if she would agree to do a Guest Selfie for Our Blog and she agreed. And then, We artified it with a couple of artsy-fartsy effects from LunaPic - Garden at 62%, followed by K3 at 47%.

As for Our Other News - Uncle D. has gone to spend the second half of his visit with Mummy's sister Auntie N. so the Guest Kitty Room is now free and Mummy can feed each of Us in a separate room, thus ensuring that We don't eat each other's food and make havoc of Our Diets! (Purr-sonally, We think that's rather a pity - MOL).

Now, here are the blog hop badges:

        

Time to start hopping - and remember, even if We don't manage to visit your blog, We will be back here next week, Same Cat Time, Same Cat Channel.

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