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.

Your first artified image is our fav this week, though it is hard to chose.
Hopefully all the work your staff is doing for singing will pay off and all will have a wonderful evening.
Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, healthy and harmonious 2025, with good karma the whole year long.

Queen Trixie, you are gloriously floofy! We love all you images today, both the originals and the artified versions!

You look great. We all seem to get photobombed occasionally.

Linda said...

I love the picture of you sitting in front of the mirror, even if your brother tried to get in it.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

All of your photos and art are lovely. We are getting day after day of heavy rain, but at least no snow.

Lynn and Precious said...

Queen Trixie you look stunning. If I wanna see my whiskers in the lookin' glass, I have to git up on the vanity in the bathroom. I do that at 6 AM when Lynn opens the window fur me to git fresh air. Too cold fur the catio. We got 3 inches of snow and now are to git 3 more. And it is -12 C. Lynn can't go out often enough to keep fresh bird water. Sir Shimshi did not detract furom your picture.

I think they all turned out very artistic, just as they are supposed to.

Sometimes brothers can just be too much, I know, I grew up with 2 of them.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Katie Isabella said...

Girl, you are truly beautiful. I always knew that through the years but your Momma got you JUST exactly right. I like the art effect too. More than I do most. Ask your mom what is the temp there when it is cold? Then meow it thru the tunnel to me please. Or text me. If your Mom and you have iPhones, it would be free! So take her phone then, and text me.

Trixie, we love all of your selfies, and the art effects are wonderful. We sure are glad the radiators are fixed, so that you can all stay warm and toasty during the cold spell. XO

Kea said...

Happy new year to you all!

Trixie, all your selfies and art are wonderful as always, and your roar is most impressive!

Take care and have a great week!

Katie, ask your Mom to send mine a private message on Fursbook with her mobile phone number.
