Caturday Art and Guest Selfies with Callicallou and Melba

Greetings, Effurrybody!


This week, We J-Cats are taking some time off and instead, We are going to let Our Outside Cousins, Callicallou and Melba, whom We are sure you all remember furry well, star 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 Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

 

They have both made themselves completely at home on Mummy's entrance porch, and have even requisitioned some of the empty flowerpots to use as beds - as you can see from this beautiful selfie of Callicallou:












It came out slightly blurry, but Mummy thought that wouldn't matter so much once She artified it, which She did with BeFunky's Graphic Novel GFX filter:












Then it was Melba's turn:





























Melba is little camera-shy, actually. Anyway, this one was artified with another BeFunky filter - Mosaic2:






























The frames, as always, were created by Mummy using LunaPic.


And now for a Two-fur! What do you think? Is Callicallou hiding from Melba, or is Melba hiding from Callicallou?















For this, Mummy returned to LunaPic and used their Adventure effect (which She doesn't think She has used before) at 43%:














As for Us, We are looking forward to a lot more snuggle time with Mummy over the next few weeks, as her Caterwauling Club is now in recess till September. Last week, they had a very successful end to the 2024/25 season, with a concert of Meowpolitan Mewsic. Mummy will probably write about that and other Mewsical Matters in her own bloggie later this week, and might even have some short video-clips from the concert to share with you.


Now, here are the blog hop badges:


        


Well, that seems to be it for now. We will be back again next week, COD willing - same Cat Time, same Cat channel.  Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.

I bet an empty terracotta plant pot makes a great bed in a cool balcony. My how pretty they both are. I guess maybe they are both trying to steer clear of each other and find shade at the same time :) We have rain now but temps still in the twenties.
The graphic novel art sure is sharp, but I think I prefer the subtle art of the final combined selfie from the balcony crew :)
You all stay safe, well, happy and cool!

We have been wondering about those two sweet outdoor kitties. With all the threats and the bombs and the alarms going off. We were hoping they were safe and we see not only are they safe but they look happy and well fed. Can't wait to see what your mum did for singing. And we hope you're staying cool because it's still very hot where we live.

We love seeing kitties in pots like that. It reminds us of Eric and Flynn in theirs!

We're so happy that Callicalou and Melba are doing well and have made themselves at home on Mummy's entrance porch. They both look happy and healthy, and we enjoyed their sweet selfies. Congratulations to Mummy and her caterwauling club on a successful close to their season. XO

They're such pretty girls. I'm so glad they're well taken care of by your mummy. As for the hiding, my guess would be from the camera! 😆

Your Outside Cousins, Callicallou and Melba look like they are a fun pair. Do you guys play "cat games' through the glass? When Mommy lived in Vancouver and I, Marvelous was only allowed outside in my catio, the white cat (whose name was White Cat) who lived next door used to play Pat-A-Paw, Who Can Screech The Loudest and Claw The Glass with me. All of us here like laying in the empty pots too! It is ever so much fun! Keep being awesome guys! Marvelous Marv, Kozmo, Jo Jo, Nutmeg and Mom Barb

Callicaloo and Melba are both totally precious kitties! Love the original photos and the art effect versions too! Yay on a completed season of caturwauling, we'll try to catch that upcoming post!

How nice to see Callicallou and Melba today! They both did great with their photos and artwork. Enjoy your snuggle time with your mum!

These are beautiful photos! I'm so glad they're both doing so well.

Those selfies are so cute and it's nice to see those sweeties. Y'all be safe!

Katie Isabella said...

I LOVE seeing those two girls. I have not forgotten them! They are beautiful girls. Are they able to go to your Mummy and be petted? Good in a way that the Caterwauling is on a short break. I look forward to whatever your Mum puts in her blog.

That plant pot portrait looks like an oil painting - WOW!!

They are beautiful. It breaks my heart that they don't have a home. I hope someone in the area does TNR at least. Very nice art, I like all the effects. XO

It's a delight to see Callicallou and Melba, and I hope they aren't really hiding from each other but actually get along. It's wonderful your Mummy takes such good care of them.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

They are both TNR'd, I believe, judging by their tipped left ears.

The J-Cats said...

They both allow Mummy to pet them - and sometimes even demand it!
