Smiles and Tears: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybody!


This morning we learned, with great sadness, that yet another dear furriend has crossed the Rainbow Bridge - sweet, handsome Winston, of the Stillness at Cherith blog. We knew, of course, that he had been feeling poorly, but We neffur imagined that the End was so close and it was a Terrible Shock to Us, when Mummy turned on her meowbile phone this morning and read her messages, to be greeted with this news. So many anipals and humans have been taken from Us over the past couple of years - and not even by the Evil Mutant Ninja Coronavirus! Mummy also lost two friends from her Caterwauling Club, within the space of less than a month.

May you fly free now, Winston Kitty, free from pain and safe in the Paw of the Great Cat in the Sky. Someday, We shall all meet again. Hugs and kitty kisses and purrs of comfort to your Human, Maggie, and to your sisfur, Miss Emily.

We continue to purray for the Humans and the Critters in the Ukraine. It is so terrible, what is happening there. We have a family connection there, because Mummy's Grandpaw (her Mummy's Daddy) was born there, as was Our Step-Grandma.

So this week, for Our Sunday Selfies, all three of Us posed in Our Tunnel, which bears the colours of the Ukrainian flag:
























These are Our entries in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by Our Dear Furriends, the Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.


For the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie,  We are honouring Caspurr, the King of the Tigger-Tabbies, whose 9th birthday is Tomorrow, the 7th of March!

We have issued a Gold Coin and a Postage Stamp in his honour:














Here are the blog hop badges:


                               


We haven't heard so much about the Evil Mutant Ninja Coronavirus pandemic since the invasion of the Ukraine, but We do know that yesterday there were still about 5000 new confirmed cases (on the news this meowning, they gave a figure closer to 6000, but the Ministry of Health dashboard which was supposedly updated this meowning at 9:10 a.m. gives the number at 4,562). We have no idea as to the numbers in the rest of the world and We think it's better to be safe than sorry, so before We set out on the bloggie hops, We would remind you to make sure your Humans continue to take all necessary precautions. 

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

We were heartbroken to hear that Winston was needed at the Bridge. We're sending purrs and prayers to his family. We're also purring and praying for everyone in Ukraine, It's all just so horrible.

Happy early birthday, Winston!

I didn't know Winston but have just gone to leave my condolences on their blog.
Your art for Caspurr is lovely, and I wish him a happy birthday for tomorrow. My thoughts are with those in the Ukraine and their friends and families.

Your Ukrainian tunnel gives us hope and heart. We can all support the cats and people there.

That is a lovely set of selfies in support of the Ukraine. Hopefully things will be better sooner rather than later, for all those in need there, and those still living with the corona virus.
Purrs of safety to you all.
