It is I, Caspurr the Courageous, the Maccabee, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces, King of the Tigger-Tabbies, here to wish you all Shavua Tov, a Good Week - or at any rate, a better week than the last. That was an Absolutely Pawful Week, which saw the departure of no fewer than THREE of Our blogging furriends for the Rainbow Bridge - sweet Jinx, a handsome panfur from the 15andmeowing blog who was much loved by Us all, and especially by his Mommy, Ellen and her hubby; beautiful Gracie (so well-named) from the Animal Shelter Volunteer Life blog, another precious panfur whose pawrents, Kevin and Tracey and sisfur Ava will never forget her; and lovely floofy Dezi, from the DezizWorld blog, who has flown away and left her Mommy, Audra, and sisfur, RaenaBelle, grieving.
We will remember them all, and We send comforting pawpats and kitty kisses to their families, both furry and human.

We are hardly in the mood for art and selfies and blog hops at the moment, with so much sadness around Us, but We think these precious new Angels would want us all to carry on, visiting our Furriends and bringing them what cheer we can. We can never know what tomorrow will bring, so it is terribly impawtant to cherish Our Loved Ones while We can - even if distance and the Evil Coronavirus makes it impawsible for us to meet in the fur or flesh.
So once again, We are joining 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 magnificent Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
Here, then, is My Selfie. Note the chiaroscuro effects, the play of sunlight and shadow on My fur, as I bask in a sunpuddle.
These were heightened by the Luce filter from the Paper Artist app on Mummy's meowbile phone, which We used to artify the picture.
And, of course, in honour of Hanukkah, which started on Thursday night, We added a Menorah.
Here are the blog hop badges:

Stay safe, Dear Friends (both Anipal and Human), be well and let us always love and support one another.
And (for those who celebrate it) - Happy Hanukkah!

Beautiful selfie and wonderful art too. I hope you all have a most joyous Hanukkah. Yes, it was a terribly sad week, we are so sad at those departures.
That is a very nice Selfie Caspurr and may you all have a grand Hanukkah. We are sad along with you friend. Such a loss of dear ones
I shall now think of you as one of the Hanukats. And I'm sure you sing heartily to Ma'oz Paw.
Caspurr, you look so cozy and good in that wonderful sunshine!
Wishing you and all in your home a Happy Hanukkah!
Purrs, Julie

So many kitties crossing over this week. It's very sad for everyone. You created a lovely artwork that shows off all your stripes. Happy Hanukkah to all of you.

They were all good cats. December seems to be a hard month for all of us.
That's a great selfie, Caspurr, and the artistic effect is super cool.
It's been a rough week, for sure. Thank you so much for posting about Gracie, Jinx and Dezi. We are so grateful for your kindness and friendship during this very sad time.
Big hugs to you, friends.

It's been a heartbreaking year with the loss of so many of our furbabies, have never seen a year quite like this one and pray we never see another. Sorry I missed coming around on Chanukah, hoping it was lovely!
