Greetings, Effurrybuddies!
Today, I, The Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), a.k.a. The Little Purrince, a.k.a. The Baby Mancat, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard, will be repurresenting the J-Cats 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.
We chose two selfies this week. Furrst of all, here I am, looking rather traumatised, purrobably because We were watching the news and hearing about all the rockets and drones that the Evil Humans in Gaza and Lebanon were shooting at Us!
We artified this with a couple of filters from LunaPic - Metallic at 37% with an overlay of Illusion at 18%.
In the second picture, I am somewhat calmer, as you can see:
The artsy-fartsy version of this one was achieved with two more LunaPic filters - Dark at 28% followed by Homer at 43%:
I just want to say that I may have looked calmer in this second picture, but this does not attest to any let-up in the missile and drone attacks, which, in fact, increased in intensity over Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)!!!
Another piece of impawtant news is that Uncle D. is back in Israel and staying with Us (in the Guest Kitty Room). He couldn't get here in time for Auntie Y. and Uncle N.'s funeral or for the shiva, because so many airlines have cancelled flights to Israel, but he will be here for the unveiling of the tombstone, at the end of the month.
Wednesday evening sees the start of the Succot (Tabernacles) festival, usually one of the most joyous in the Mewish calendar. It is hard to imagine much joy this year, however.
However, for those of you who will be celebrating, We would like to wish you Chag Sameach (חג שמח).
And now for the blog hop badges:
That's all for the time being. See you next week. Till then - be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Shimshi, we are so glad to see you and we are glad to hear that your uncle D. Will be coming for a visit. We hope that you are having some peace and quiet for your solemn holiday. We do not like the sound of more bombs in your area. You take a perfect picture considering all the happened and happening. We think your artwork is just purrfect.

Your filters are quite subdued this week, quite rightly I am thinking. Have a good and safe week.

I am so glad you posted, in spite of all the traumatic events. Sometimes it helps to try to do some of the normal routines. I am holding you all in my heart and always praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
