Greetings, Effurrybody! How are you all? It has certainly been an eventful few days here - starting with Mummy's Scary Episode the night before the Seder (last Tuesday night)! She got up to go to the bathroom and was suddenly overtaken by a dreadful Dizzy Spell. At furrst, She thought maybe She was having a Stroke, but the thought that was uppermost in Her Mind was - what if there is a missile attack right now? There was NO Way she could have made it down to the shelter in that condition. If She had tried, She would purrobably have fallen down the stairs and broken her neck. Fortunately, there was no such necessity. As it is, She lost her balance and fell on the floor on her left side, giving herself a nasty bruise on her thigh and a couple more on her arm, which hit the handle of the shower door on the way down. Somehow, She managed to crawl back to bed, where she spoke to Uncle D. on the phone (no slurring of speech) and tested her coordination (no loss of coordination). This has happened to Mummy a couple of times before, notably about four years ago when She went to the Opurra and ended up spending most of the night in ER at Ichilov Hospital. That was when She was diagnosed as having Atrial Fibrillation, but the Heart Specialist She consulted after that was not convinced that the episode was a result of the AF. She purrobably did suffer a sudden drop in Blood Pressure, but it seems that in 9 out of 10 such cases, they never find out the specific cause of such a drop!
At all events, She seems to be more or less okay now, although She says She feels rather fragile - plus, it still hurts her to sit down. It didn't stop her cooking most of the Seder feast, although Auntie N. helped a lot by making the roast potatoes, as well as the kneidlach (matza dumplings). They had chick-hen, but We didn't get any because Mummy cooked it with a LOT of garlic, which is furry, furry bad indeed for kitties! Anyway, Mummy tried to trick Us and shut Us in the bedroom during the meal. My brofurs fell for it, but I, Queen Trixie, was too cleffur for her and I got to listen to the whole seder service from my seat under the table. I was furry good, too. Not once did I venture out and demand Food or Attention! And I We have been snuggling with Mummy a lot, because I We know that makes her feel better.
Now, it is time to take part in 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 the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
So, here is My Selfie. I know you are going to absolutely LOVE this one. I dare you not to (mol)!
The frame - as well as the artwork this week - was created with the help of LunaPic. It features the Israeli flag, as always, lions, in reference to Opurration Lion's Roar, and spring flowers, in deference to the Season.
Here is the furrst artification, using Landscape at 60%:
Artification no.#2 uses a combination of two furry different effects - Grey, at 62%, followed by Psychedelic at 22%:
Finally, We used one of Our Favourite filters - Dark, at 43%, with an overlay of the much more colourful Candy at 23%:
Now, We have a couple of Impawtant Dates coming up. Wednesday, April 8th, is Mummy's Birthday. And next Shabbat, April 11th, is Caspurr's Gotcha Day. We shall have a combined pawty for the two of them up in the Enchanted Forest, on Wednesday afternoon at 6 pm, Israel Time. You are all invited, of course and, as always, the coordinates will be transmitted directly to your Transportation Devices.
Oh! And We have just realised - it was exactly 15 years ago, on April 2nd 2011, that this blog furrst saw the Light of Day! We shall be celebrating that too, of course!
Last, but definitely not least, We want to wish all of you who are celebrating it today, a Furry Happy Easter!
Now, here are the blog hop badges:
That's all for now, Dear Furriends. COD-willing, We shall be back here again next week, same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then, be safe. Be well. We love you all.
