Trixie Glows in Honour of Lag B'Omer: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo there, Effurrybody!

We wish you all Shavua Tov (a Good Week) from here in Jerusalem and wonder how your Lockdown is going. Here in Israel, the government has relaxed some more of the restrictions. Kindergartens can now open - and so can shopping malls and open markets, subject to all kinds of rules which, some of the Humans are complaining, make it not worth their while to re-open. For example - how do you enforce Social Distancing regulations (2 metres distance between people, wearing masks) in a class full of 4-year-olds?


Also, a lot of Humans are still scared to go out even though it's allowed,  and think we should be waiting two weeks between each stage. Mummy really needs to have a haircut - Her hair is beginning to look like the coat of a Rough Collie woofie (MOL) - but She is afraid to risk it and intends to wait till the end of the month.

Tomorrow evening (Monday) is the start of Lag B'Omer, which is traditionally celebrated with bonfires, only they have been forbidden this year, because of the horrible Coronavirus, as they would become a magnet for lots and lots of Humans to gather together. What Mummy doesn't understand is why, if that is the reason, it is also forbidden to have bonfires in private courtyards and gardens.  However, We are glad because We have heard of dreadful cases in previous years when EVIL Human children or teenagers threw innocent kitties into bonfires!  Needless to say, this is NOT a Mewish tradition - those humans are simply EVIL MONSTERS who ought to be thrown into the bonfire themselves! Hissssssssss.



Today being Sunday, it is now time to join the weekend blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by the ever-lovely Athena and her HuMum, Marie,  and, of course, the Sunday Selfies blog hop hosted by our sweet furriends, the Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

This week, it is the turn of My Impurrial Majesty, Queen Trixie, to lead Our Team on the blog hop. I have chosen my Sunday Selfie picture furry carefully, to impurress upon effuryone that, although My Little Brofur Shimshi may have seized control of the TeeVee remote, it is I who remain in command, as long as the digital converter is in My Power!








The thing is, however, that Mummy doesn't like Me to sit on the digital converter, because my furs get inside it and that will make it not work propurrly. But what She tells Me (the Official Reason) is that I might get an Electric Shock and become a Fried Kitty, looking like this:






Of course, such a thing has neffur happened.  It's Fake Mews! Mummy made this artified picture using the Neon filter from LunaPic, to which She added the Glow effect - and this is Our Entry in the Caturday Art blog hop.

It is now time to get hopping. Here are the badges of the Caturday Art blog hop: 
















and of the Sunday Selfies blog hop:















Have a wonderful week - and whether or not you and your Humans are still in complete Lockdown, or are gradually being purrmitted to emerge, remember that whatever restrictions are in place are there for your Safety. So Stay Home, Be Well and Stay Safe.

We are still in lockdown, except the cats of course, but they don't do the shopping they only bring a mousie occasionally. We have to keep a distance of 1.50 m and all gatherings of more then 10 people are not allowed, not even for marriage or funerals. All festivities have been cancelled until probably September. The Netherlands found a solution for the kids, my 9 year old grandson starts school on Monday and they have split the class into two parts, one part 3 h in the morning and one part 3 hours in the afternoon. Not a bad idea !! He had online classes too with his whole class and the teacher. Modern times !

That is lovely art, but make sure you don't end up like that.

What a lovely picture of you, Trixie. Our mom desperately needs a haircut too...but she will have to wait a few more weeks at least.

You are such a cutie Queen Trixie. I am glad the bonfires are canceled if people do such bad things to kitties, that breaks my heart. XO

Trixie, you are a beautiful, floofy kitty. I bet you like the digital box because it gets warm (ours does).

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Yikes, be careful you do not end up all alight like that, Trixie!
Cool art, though:)

Petcretary looks like Medusa...she might need to resort to pigtails soon...

Stay safe and wash your paws (we know you do anyway). TBT noticed on a chart that Isreal is doing better than most neighboring countries. We are NOT surprised. Our Leaders are dumber, thinking in terms of politics and hopes, rather than science and medical advice (claiming those as "fake news".

We are being careful. TBT only leaves the yard for fresh food every 10-14 days where there are "senior hours" and the local store is almost empty. And wears an N-95 mask of course. He has 4 old ones and each hangs on a peg in the garage to sit for a month before reuse. And keeps a handerchief in a jar with alcohol to wipe cart handles.

He expects this to last through Summer (reduced) but return in Fall as other silly Beins think it is gone away.

We are still in lockdown, too.
There are a lot of inconsistencies. I suppose we are learning as we go.
Take care. Be well.
Purrs,
Winston and Emily
