Shimshi in November: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo there, Effurrybuddies!

Once again, it is time to join the weekend 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 those Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

This week, it is I, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), Furrst of My Name, a.k.a. The Little Purrince, a.k.a. The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain-of-the-Guard, who has the honour of leading My Fellow J-Cats on the blog hops.

Before I do so, howeffur, I want to give you a quick update on what is going on in Our Neck of the Woods. As My Big Brofur, Caspurr, told you last week, We have put back the clocks and it is now officially Autumn. Howeffur, Mother Nature does not seem to be aware of that Fact, as We are looking at tempurratures in the upper 20's Celsius all week, sometimes hitting 30 degrees. And still no sign of Rain.

We are also losing patience because the Evil Hamas Monsters in Gaza, who were supposed to return all the hostages within the furrst 72 hours of the so-called "ceasefire" taking effect, including the dead ones, so that they can receive a propurr burial, are still playing games with us three weeks later, as Mummy wrote in her own bloggie last week. Since She wrote that, they have handed over three more bodies, none of which were of any of the remaining dead hostages. 

As I said, Mummy wrote about this in her own bloggie last week, but She also wrote about her Vacation, which, We can now reveal, was to Greece. If you, too, enjoy gallivanting to Faraway Places, you are invited to join her there.

And now, to business.

Here is My Selfie. I was kind of photo-bombed by one of My Pawcelain Dolly Sisters, Miss Dorothea, but you can hardly see her:

As We so often do, We made three different artifications. All the artwork, plus the frames, used LunaPic.  The yellow inner frame is, again, a gesture to the dead hostages still in the hands of Hamas, echoing the colour of the yellow Bring Them Home ribbon.

This fursst artification uses the Psychedelic filter at 65%, with an overlay of Dreaming, at 20%:

Next, We tried Nouveau - one of Our Favourites, as it's so colourful - at 68%, to which We added Yarn at 40%. We think that makes it look like a tapestry. Do you agree?

Finally, We achieved a furry artsy-fartsy look with this combination of Saber at 63% and Dawn at 34%:

Which one do you like best? Let Us know in the comment section below.

Now it is time to add the blog hop badges:

       

Before We get hopping, We want to remind those of you who live in the UK, to stay safe indoors on Wednesday night and try to find a quiet spot away from the horrible boomies. If you have soundproofed windows, the fireworks can be furry purrty to look at, but Oh! so noisy! 

We will be back here next week, COD willing - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.
