Greetings, Effurrybuddies!
Here I am again, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, aka The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard. I will be repurresenting the J-Cats 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
Before doing so, howeffur, I will give you just a brief update on what's going on here.
Well, the truth is - We don't exactly know. Ceasefire? Not sure. It's true the Evil Ayatollahs aren't shooting at Us at present, but up in the north, their Wicked Minions, Hezbollah, haven't let a day go by without shooting rockets and/or dispatching drones (or both) at the Israeli towns and villages near the border. And We understand the ceasefire with Iran, which President Trump extended, is due to end sometime tonight. But there again - We aren't sure. We keep hearing conflicting reports.
Just about the only thing we are sure of is that We have prepurred some lovely selfies and artwork to share with you, Our Dear Furriends - so let's get on with it!
Here is My Selfie, in a Beautiful Frame designed by Mummy, with the help of LunaPic. It celebrates Spring, which seems to have made up its mind that it is Here at last!
This week, We have returned to LunaPic for all the art and frames. Furrst of all, here is a bright, colourful composition using the Splash effect, at 63%:
Next, We find Nouveau even more colourful and artsy-fartsy:
And finally, a rather more restrained creation, combining Escher with an overlay of Beauty at 20%:
The last one reminds Mummy of old black and white pictures She has seen, which were tinted with paint to give the illusion of colour photography before it was invented (mol).
Which one do you like best? Let Us know in the Comments Section below.
Now, before We start visiting Our Furriends, here are the blog hop badges:
As is Our Custom, We will try to visit as many of you as pawssible before Mummy turns off the Computer Machine and goes to have a Snooze Siesta prior to going to Caterwauling Purractice. If We miss any of you, please fur-give Us.
And don't fur-get to visit Mummy's own bloggie, where she has posted Part 7 of the Tail Tale of Her Adventures in Greece last autumn, if you haven't already done so.
We hope to see you all again next week, COD-willing - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then - be safe. Be well. We love you all!

Sir Shimshi we certainly hope that the ceasefire is forever but I think we all know better don't we. Humans can be so unreliable. We like the Mosaic artwork the best because we like Mosaic artwork! But then the last one looks so much like a regular photo that we like it too. Can we have two votes instead of one? Stay safe and we'll look for you again next week. Lynn has already enjoyed the write-up on the vacation trip. Especially all the cats that were there!
Up close and purrsonal!
We know what your meowmy means about old-timey photos that were hand-tinted.
Today, that version gets our vote.
Stay safe.
We like the last one best but they are all fun.
Hello,
I hope you had a happy Caturday! I love the selfie and all the kitty images. I would like to see a permanent ceasefire, I hope you stay safe. Take care, Happy Sunday! Have a great week ahead.
It is awful having to live with such uncertainty. I hope the ceasefire lasts a lot longer.
Your selfie and art is lovely. The last is my favourite.
We are not sure what's going on either but for sure you are one handsome kitty!
We can but dedicate a prayer to world peace, and hope our friends stay well and are blessed each and every day. It seems there is a stalemate of sorts. I do hope they see reason soon or the good and innocent on all sides, those that crave and respect and honour peace, will end up suffering even more.
Till then, we celebrate the fun, joy and love you all share. This week we have to place the first art as first! All three have their own magic, but the last is too sombre for us.
Have a wonderful week

Shimshi, fabulous selfie of you! We like all versions, but we do like the last one best this time, I think the black and white with subtle color really brings out your features. With hopes for all to stay safe!
Lovely close-up and art!
Hi Shimshi! That is such a handsome selfie of you, and we like the artistic effects you chose, especially that last one. We have friends in the north, and are purring for them, and all of you.
Be safe...stay safe and, continued prayers for safety and these horrific things to end.
Very handsome selfie and I like all the effects. I pray you all stay safe. XO
That sure is a most wonderful selfie and beautiful art! I sure hope everyone quits shooting at you. Y'all be safe over there.
Your selfie is excellent as always and I like the Escher best for the same reason your Mummy said, it reminds me of a black and white with a bit of tinting.
I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
That's one spectacular selfie and artwork!
The last filter looks rather special doesn't it?
We don't know any more than you do about what is happening where you are. Trump and Hegseth talk out of both sides of their mouths. Sheesh! We absolutely love all the art this week, but we think the third is our favorite, as it shows you in more detail, Shimshi. Stay safe! Thanks for hopping with us! XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
Shimshi that is a most handsome selfie!! And we like the third artwork the best. Yes it does look like those colourized B & W pictures, LOL!
We sure pawray that all this worrisome stuff will come to an end, and you'll all stay safe.
I like each one better than my one before, so the last one is my favorite.
We love your Selfie, Shimshi, it shows that you did a great pose for it🐱The last one is our favourite today and your mommy made us mol when she wrote about the color photography before it was invented...MOL... Double Pawkisses for a Happy and Peaceful Week ahead to all of you🙏🏼🐾😘💞
