Snoozing In Many Colours: Caturday Art And Sunday Selfies With Shimshi

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!  


Shimshi here, enjoying a Sunday Snoozie - and while I don't mind My Human waking Me up to take selfies (because I am super Handsome, after all - effurrybody says so!), I do object to her sneaking up on Me while I am snoozing, in order to Assault Me with a Dreadful Device known as The Furminator!!!














Yes, that's what She did, kitties! She said my coat was getting matted, just like it did this time Last Year and that if I didn't want to be hauled off to the Evil V-E-T, who would likely simply shear off my furs, I had better let her use this grooming device She bought a year ago, after my Previous Attack of Matted Fur!

Now, kitties, I don't know about you, but as an expurrienced cattorney, I call that Duress!!! 

But prefurrable to a visit to the Evil Stabby Place, I suppose...

Now, it is time to join this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art Blog Hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Snoozies Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by those Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.


My Snoozie Selfie features ME resting My Head on one of My Our beautiful tapestry pillows. We found it difficult to make up Our Minds which of the many lovely LunaPic filters We tried was the most interesting, so here are five of the best. Feel free to choose for yourselves which is your favourite.


Furrst of all, We used the Harsh Lighting filter, as is, with no other additions:













Of course, Harsh Lighting is not exactly the best idea when a kitty is trying to snooze, so next, We tried Sketch2, at 80%:












For Our Third Attempt, We used Gorky, at 78%:












We don't think We've effur used that one before, though We might be mistaken. It has lovely autumnal colours, don't you think?  Not that there is any indication here in Jerusalem of the approach of that season...


Next up, here is an effect We are pretty sure We haven't used before - Dawn.












And last, but by no means least, a filter ideal for a snoozing kitty lost in a dream world. No, not Dreaming (got you there - MOL), but Floating, at 70%:












This last one is definitely the most colourful - and the filter is one of Our Perennial Favourites.


So which do YOU like best?


Now, here are the Blog Hop Badges:


        


And off We go, to visit Our Old Furriends and hopefully, to make some new ones also!

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

I like all the filters, but I think the harsh lighting is my favourite as it brings out the details.
Eric loved the Furminator but Flynn preferred the Zoom Groom.

Zoom Groom reigns supreme here. Everyone takes their turn!

We like the second to last one, Shimshi! We will take the Furminator over the stabby place any day! :)

Dear Shimshi, as a girly kitty I voted for the Dawn filter, caws, yur furs did not change much in color and I think you are handsome. Lynn brushes me daily on my demand, and it is always at 5 PM before I then demand my supper. Maybe you too could come up with a good reason to get the brushes, as the V-E-T is my most horrible nightmare.

Lovely art, especially the autumnal one.

The Florida Furkids said...

We like the second one!

We have all started liking the furminator. We run into Mom's bathroom and jump on the counter. Mom calls it our Furmination Station!

That is a totally adorable selfie and your arts are terrific!

Katie Isabella said...

YOur selfie is enough to make my mommy swoon! Well, I did too.

Sorry I am late catching up. Teddy did a runner and disappeared overnight. I spotted him but we had to wait until the hunger bit before he came home. We are also mourning Great Britain's reigning monarch so these are sad times.

We love your filters this week.

Adorable photo and art! I think having your mom take care of furs is MUCH better than the VET!

The Island Cats said...

Your artwork is great, Shimshi. And you may not like it, but I bet you feel better after that brushing.

These are all great. My favorite is Dawn because I love blue. My Emmy hates the furminator too. XO

We didn't have a furminator until we got Benji...and he while not particularly enjoying it, does stand still and tolerates it. It sure does help snag out a lot of his undercoat.

Nice art effects, I really like the floating effect, I do like pink:)
