Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies with Caspurr the Snuggle Bug

Greetings, Effurryone!

This week, it really is Me, Sir Caspurr the Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of My Name, the Snuggle Bug, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces, King of the Tigger-Tabbies, here to take My Rightful Place as Repurresentative of the J-Cats 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.

We have chosen a picture of Me curled up next to Mummy as She was watching the News last night (you can see her feets in their white sockies, can't you?) and looking furry serious, because of the things We were hearing on the News. You can tell I was being furry attentive. Just see how My Ears are pricked up!
















Also, if you look furry carefully on the left-hand side, just below the window, you can see Trixie's - ahem - Rump. She photo-bombed me! Again!

We made some furry interesting and beautiful artifications this week, with the help of LunaPic.

Furrst of all, this one emphasises My Eyes with Jungle at 65%, and is further enhanced with Stained Glass at 55%:















Next, We used a recent discovery, Lake, at 92%. We were quite tempted to leave it at that, but eventually decided to add a light overlay of Watercolour at 17%:















And finally, We used another of Our Favourites, Dark, set to 45%, combined with Brains at 30%:















Now that We are well into November, all Mummy's "Activities" are starting up again. Last week, her Art Appreciation course on Zoom started. The following evening, She went to the furrst opurra of the Season - L'Elisir d'Amore, by Signor Donizetti. And tomorrow, She has the furrst field trip of the archaeology course She is taking this year and is going up to Tiberias in the North, to see archaeological remains of the Roman and Byzantine period. That worries Us, because of all the rockets and drones coming from Lebanon, but We suppose if the Authorities (whoever they may be) didn't think it safe, they wouldn't allow it...

Here are the blog hop badges:


        



And now it's time to start hopping.

See you all again next week, same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.

The art is all lovely. I haven't discovered Lake. I hope your mum stays safe on her archaeology course and send good thoughts for her.

Sir Caspurr, we thought that Trixie was just a black feather duster until you said she photo bombed you, mol. You do know to listen to the news but sometimes it is a furry sad story. We like yer mummy is goin' to do funs stuff, but she must stay safe. Who would take care of you? Precious

Good job (in spite of the photobomb)

No.2 image is definitely our fav this week. You are most definitely most lion-like in picture 3. A sheer delight whatever the artwork. Stay safe, and at the hint of any problems do keep your staff home and off school!

Lovely art!

The news is very serious, which is why I take it in small doses, with plenty of good things between.

Your selfie is wonderful, you certainly pay attention to what is going on, and the artwork is lovely.

I will pray for your mother's safety and as always, I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

You look fabulous Sir Caspurr! Yes, tell your Mama to be most careful, it's scary there. Y'all be safe!

That stained glass effect is so cool!!!

Hi Caspurr! We love your selfie, even if Trixie photobombed you. And that stained glass effect is really neat.

Pleas tell your mum to be careful in the North, okay? Our dad has many friends in and around Haifa, and we worry about them a lot. Hugs, love, and purrs for you all. - Ava and Traget

Caspurr, I wouldn't have realized that Trixie was photo bombing you if you hadn't pointed her out. 😁

I like your art, especially the first one using the stained glass effect. It's a great filter!

I hope your mum has a great field trip and that she (and everyone else) stays safe. ♥️

That stained glass effect is really interesting, but it does not show how pretty your face looks.

Sir Caspurr the Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of Your Name, the Snuggle Bug, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces, King of the Tigger-Tabbies you are MAGNIFICENT! our lovely Jo Jo is totally smitten by all the artistic versions of you! Our Mom SHOULD be busy, but alas, she is STILL not allowed to walk on her left leg. (Another 2 weeks). We are wondering if she will remember how, by the time this ordeal starts to come to an end. We are so furry happy that our Mom is helping us visit this week. Keep being awesome guys! Marvelous Marv, Kozmo, Jo Jo, Nutcase er Nutmeg and Mom Barb

Your mom has cute socks. And you do look very serious. I never noticed you have such big whisker humps. You look like a little mountain lion.
