Shimshi's Pre-Pessach Selfie Pawtrait and (Belated)) Caturday Art

Greetings once again, Effurrybuddies!

Yes, it is I, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short), a.k.a. the Little Purrince, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard.

We have all been furry, furry busy snoopervising Mummy's Pessach (Passover) spring-cleaning. In fact, Mummy has been so busy, She's hardly had time to notice that She's at home all day, because of the lockdown caused by this stupid Corona Virus thingie. But She does listen to the news several times a day and it makes her all of Us - furry unhappy to hear how more and more Humans have been forced to leave for their Rainbow Bridge because of it.  Mummy has also been reading/hearing how, because so many Humans have lost their jobs due to the fact that many businesses have been forced to close, there has been a considerable drop in the amount of donations to pet shelters and for feeding homeless kitties and woofies. So many people are now finding it harder and harder to feed even themselves and their children. 
We want to assure you that Mummy still goes out effurry night to feed the homeless kitties on our street and She has even noticed some kitties from other streets turning up. We think that because of the Crisis, there is less leftover food being thrown away for homeless kitties to find and eat and that somehow, the word has got out that on Our Street, those kitties can get at least ONE square meal a day.

Now, to happier thoughts. Before I forget, I want to remind you that this coming Caturday, April 11th, is Caspurr's Gotcha Day and so, as usual, We shall be having one of Our Famous Pawties to celebrate, at 6pm Israel Time, up in (where else?) the Enchanted Forest. We hope you will all come. It wouldn't be the same without you!

Next up - I, the Mighty Shimshi, am the J-Cats' representative in this week's Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Cat Goddess, Athena and her HuMum, Marie and also in the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the adorable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

Furrst of all, since We used the same basic picture for both blog hops, We want to show you the original pawtrait.

This will be Our Entry in the Sunday Selfies blog hop - and here is their badge:







And now for Our Caturday Art blog hop entry - er, entries! Mummy couldn't quite decide which of these three She prefurrs. All three were created using different LunaPic Art Effects, only Mummy can't quite remember which ones, (which isn't surprising, considering that on her birthday, which falls later this week, on April 8th, She will be about a gazillion years old!)
She does remember that one was Abstract, another was Landscape - and She thinks the third might have been Watercolour. Only She couldn't for the life of her tell you which is which (mol). We don't think it really matters, does it? Just tell Us which one you like best.

And here is the Caturday Art bloggie badge:



One of these days - sooner, rather than later, if the Corona Lockdown continues for much longer - Mummy may finally get round to creating a puzzle from Our Art, as so many of you seem to know how to do.

Now, before We go, We want to wish you Shavua Tov (a Good Week) and in addition, as Pessach starts with the Passover Seder this Wednesday evening, We want to wish you all Chag Sameach (a Joyous Festival). 
Finally, for those of you who are celebrating Easter next Sunday, a Happy Easter.

And for all of you and your Humans, We wish that this time of Crisis may end. Meanwhile - Be well, stay safe. We love you!
