Sunday (Birthday) Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybody!

It is I, Queen Trixie, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East.
We are taking a break from touring with Moo (see last three posts) to make Our Furrst Attempt at taking part in a Blog Hop. We have neffur done this before, and Our Human will furry likely make a Mess of it, but We are highly meowtivated to make the attempt.

We are going to attempt to join the Sunday Selfies blog hop hosted by The Cat on My Head.

We have neffur posted a Sunday Selfie before - but since today is My Birthday, there could not be a More Suitable Occasion. 

So, fursst of all, here is the Birthday Portrait.









Oops! No. Purrhaps one where you can actually see my face would be prefurrable (mol).







Yes, that's much better, isn't it?

Now, it says We are supposed to display their badge.






Okay. We think Mummy has got it right so far (paws crossed).  We shall see, later on, if She managed also to do the second part of the link.

Now, for the second part of this blog.

As I mentioned earlier, today is My Birthday. I am six years old today. However, you probably all know that this coming Friday, August 17th, is Black Cat Appreciation Day, and that I, too, am a Black Panfur kitty. We think it is furry, furry impawtant to purrmote the magnificence of Black Cats, who are often the furry last to be considered for adoption. We can't imagine why, although We have heard that in the United States, black cats are considered to be omens of Bad Luck.  Such foolishness! In England, where Mummy was born, it's the other way around. Black kitties are believed to bring GOOD LUCK. And not only in England, but throughout Europe and Asia! But We want ALL black cats, throughout the Whole World to be recognised as the Bringers of Good Fortune which We are, so Black Cat Appreciation Day is furry, furry impawtant. Therefore, instead of celebrating My Birthday today, We are going to have a joint celebration of those two miaowmentous occasions on Friday afternoon at 6:30 pm Israel time (just in time for the start of Shabbat, actually) up at our favourite picnic/barbecue/pawty location, in the Enchanted Forest overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. You are all invited, of course - and Moo will be there too. 

So We are going to wrap this up for now. Later in the week, We shall be posting about some more of the places We have been taking Moo. And We shall also be helping Mummy post about her vacation last week.




And finally, here is the blog hop list.  So goodbye for now, or as We say in Hebrew - Lehitra'ot.
