Greetings, Effurrybody!
As you can see, this week, it is I, 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, who will be leading 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, hosted by the Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
Before We get on to the art, We would like to say We hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day. We also hope that those of you who celebrated Tu b'Shvat, the New Year for Trees according to the Hebrew calendar (which fell the day before Valentine's Day), had a lovely day, ate lots of fruits and planted many trees. Tu b'Shvat falls when it is still quite cold and often rainy, but the almond trees which have come to symbolise the festival are already in blossom and you can feel that Spring is just around the corner.

We have chosen three selfies this week, and each one has been artified with one of the mewtiful effects from LunaPic.
In this furrst selfie, I am in my favourite half upside-down position, looking up at Mummy adoringly. (I was actually wondering if She was going to bring Me a treat, but We won't tell her that - MOL.)
The artsy-fartsy effect here was achieved with LunaPic's Dark filter, which is, as you already know, one of Our Favourites - set to 57%.
I like the way it emphasises My Eyes, don't you?
Next, here is a picture of Me in close-up.
I was enjoying a sun-puddle here. I often have to fight for sun-puddles because My Pesky Brofurs gang up and steal them from Me when I am enjoying them on the Bed. This time, however, I had the Last Laugh because I found a Bigger and Better Sun-puddle on the Living Room Sofa which I shared with Mummy.
Anyway, this picture was artified with the Flash Gordon filter at 67%.
This last selfie was taken just a few minutes later. Mummy and I think it's just purrfect because of the play of sun and shadow on My Furs. The panoramic window behind me faces south and the sun was shining quite strongly so Mummy let down the shutter about two-thirds of the way. See what a beautiful effect it has!
Mummy and I feared that any artification here might spoil the effect, but since We are supposed to produce something artistic for the Caturday Art blog hop, We decided on a minimal (24%) use of the K3 filter.
I quite like the result. How about you?
And now for the blog hop badges:
That's all for now. See you again next week - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel!
Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Queen Trixie, we think the last picture is the best also. We get to see all your fluffy Furs and sunshine on you. We think that is a fantastic celebration New Year of the trees. We do have our birthday in april, because that is the best time of year for us to plant trees. This weather this weekend has been a mix of rain, hail, ice, and we're looking for snow any minute. Winter is so far from being finished. So I'm going to take a long nap until suppertime. Precious
Queen Trixie, we love all those pictures of you! The originals are fabulous, and the art versions really work well with your furriness! We too are really tired of winter, and we're ready for spring!
Queen Trixie...you look totally all-out gorgeous and just mesmerizing! WHAT a picture.
Those are all great.
I like all of your selfies and artwork, Trixie. The K3 is my favourite.
Queen Trixie, you've outdone yourself on the selfies and art, though I admit that the last one is my favourite!
I'm glad spring is around the corner for someone, because we're buried under snow and in the middle of a major storm. We might see spring in May, at this rate!
Take care and have a good week!
Great art! We love the way the first filter emphasises your eyes too.

We can hardly wait for spring. My favorite is the picture using LunaPic's Dark filter.
I am so glad you got to have a sunpuddle and hope your bothers, um, I mean brothers, learn to share. (I had two little bothers at home, um, brothers, I guess.)
The selfies and art are beautiful.
I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem, the safe return of the hostages and may you have an early spring.
Wow that Dark Filter is QUITE amazing! Well done.
Trixie, I love your selfies and your artwork. I wish you could send that sunpuddle here! It’s too cold! ~Murphy
You are gorgeous. I love the selfie that shows off those beautiful eyes. I like all your art too. XO
Trixie, we love your original photos, and also the way you artified them! We hope you, your brothers, and Mummy all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and Tu B'shvat!
Beautiful selfies and art! We got a foot of snow today. More than ready for spring!
Oops, I also meant to say y'all be safe over there.
You're most awwdorable, Queen Trixie. What a fluffy tail you have. That sure came out great on all your artworks, sweet girl. Double Pawkisses for a Warm and Peaceful Week ahead to all of you🐾😽💞
We think that 2nd pic really showed you off good!
