A New Year - Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies With Trixie

Greetings, Effurrybody!


This is Our Furrst Post of 2025 and, as is fitting, it is up to Me, Queen Trixie, Furrst of My Name, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East, Queen of Hearts, the Panfur Princess, Guardian of the Boudoir and Alpha Kitty Extraordinaire, to lead 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 had a couple of beastly cold, rainy days last week, including the evening  Mummy's Caterwauling Club had their Fundraising Concert (about which She may - if She is not too lazy busy - write about in her own bloggie later in the week). But right after that, Mr. Sunshine decided to return, and since then, We have enjoyed blue skies with only a little cloud. It's still quite cold, howeffur, so We nap most of the time, either by the newly-fixed radiators, or under the duvet.


For this week's blog hops, Mummy and I have chosen three pictures of Me. Furrst of all, here I am by the heater, just checking in the mirror to make sure my whiskers are in order and my fur smooth and silky, as it should be.













We artified this with LunaPic's Brave filter at 43% and then added Dark at 35%.












Next, still by the mirror, I am having to contend with being photobombed by my Pesky Brofur, Shimshi!





















And how dare he turn his back on Me?!


This time, We started with the Dark filter at 48% and added Storytime at 24%.



 

















My last pawtrait needs no explanation...












The artsy-fartsy version again uses LunaPic filters - Daisies at 50%, followed by Scribble at 22%.












To be quite honest, I am not completely satisfied with any of the artifications this time, but Mummy has such a lot to do before caterwauling purractice this evening that they will just have to do.

Now for the blog hop badges:


        


That's all for now then. See you again next week. Till then - be well. Be safe. We love you all.
