Hallo there, Effurrybuddies!
The clocks went back last night, so We know Autumn is really and truly here. Plus, there was some actual rain last week (not in Jerusalem - at least, if there was, it must have been while We were asleep - but in Other Parts of the Country). And Mummy has even taken down the duvet from the top cupboard.
We don't really care what season it is, but Autumn always makes Mummy a little sad, so We try to cheer her up as best We can, with snuggles and kitty kisses and Being Super Cute.
In fact, you can see how Super Cute I, Shimshi, the Master of the Queen's Mischiefs etc. etc. have been all week, when you see the photos I have chosen (out of dozens of pawssibilities) for this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the divinely Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the adorable Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.
Mummy made Me take loads of shots till I got completely fed up and refused to pose any more:
And, to be quite honest, the more photos there are, the harder it gets to choose!
But We finally settled on this one for My Sunday Selfie, because Mummy liked the play of light and shadow on my furs and whiskers - and I have to admit, I agree with her. Besides which, it does look kind of spooky, don't you think?
For Our Caturday Art, We pay full tribute to Halloween, although it isn't really "a thing" here in Israel. We chose another amazing shot of Me, reclining on My Princely Cushion, planning Mischiefs, and We gave it an overlay of the Quirky Art Effect at 50%, some Halloween effects and a nice frame - all courtesy of LunaPic. Et voilà, as they say!
Now, We must fulfil the promise We made a couple of weeks ago to keep you all updated about the various intruder outside kitties We have been reporting on.
Furrst of all, Milo, whom StepGrandma has been feeding.
StepGrandma contacted the shelter from which she got Uncle Messi and they came and collected Milo, who is now being looked after in a nice comfy pension until a forever home can be found for him. The people who run it sent StepGrandma this picture of Milo, after he got settled in:
We hope - in fact, We are certain - it won't be long before he is Gotcha'ed!
Now the story with CalliCallou is a bit more complicated. She hasn't been hanging around as much as before, and when she does, Melba is not far behind. The neighbour (the one who was sure Melba was female, when Mummy thought s/he was male) says Melba recently gave birth to kittens and that she saw the kittens. Mummy hasn't yet seen any kittens. Mummy thinks now that CalliCallou is older than she originally thought and that she may be Melba's Mother. So now Mummy is convinced that if CalliCallou is spending less time on Our Porch, it is because she is babysitting her grandkittens. Melba seems to need CalliCallou to look after her, and Mummy worries what will happen to Melba and her (hypothetical) kittens if She adopts CalliCallou and makes her an Indoors Only Kitty.
It is a bit of Conundrum!!!
Now, it is time to put up the blog hop badges:
Happy Halloween!
Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Dear Shimshi, What a post today. Over here our clocks change next Sat. because of the Halloween night so kiddies (not kitties) can go out before darkness. Now fur you, we think the light on the eyes looks like a good Trick or Treat mask. And I am sure the pension (orphanage here) is better fur Milo. After after all, I gotched Lynn while being in one. Purr-sonally I hope there are no more baby kitties in your outside area. Hope you get some rain. Precious
Shimshi, we like that selfie, too. It looks like you are wearing a mask of light! :)
We are purring that Milo finds his happily ever after home real soon, and that you will all figure out how best to help CalliCallou. XO
First off, we think your pictures are superb, and as you said the light falls well on you. The lovely lounging shot is almost watercolour perfect! The dancing ghosts made us chuckle too! 🙂 👻
Awww, he is a dear. I am sure as you say, he will soon have a special new home lined up.
Hmm, kittens and a nursing mum and attending grandmum is quite a puzzle. Sounds like the kittens need to be attended to first if you our a rescue can get to them, or if the mum brings them to you or your neighbour.
Hopefully you and the humans and outdoor kitties have a very safe Halloween!

You are such a cutie. Very nice selfie. I like your Halloween art too. Thank you for the update. I am glad Milo has been rescued. I wish al the others could be too. XO
Those are lovely selfies, and Milo too. I hope he soon gets his forever home. I hope Melba can be trapped and spayed, and those elusive kittens too when they are old enough.
Those are great pics and art. Our clocks went back last night too.
Those are some amazing photos, I love the one with the cool lighting on your gorgeous self Shimshi!
Shimshi, you look fantastic wth the light play on your whiskers and furs!~ I have to say I want to say Melba and her mom and babies but Iknow that is impossible. Callicalou however, likely could come into the house and Melba and her kittens could perhaps be gathered and placed perhaps where Milo is?
I love your selfie, Shimshi. Very mysterious and yet regal at the same time. Great accomplishment. I will put Milo in my prayers to find a fantastic Forever Home. and Do the same for Melba, CalliCallou and the kittens. My momma has been steeped in mysterious cat arrives for many years and knows it takes time to sort everything out. Wishing yoo Joy over the coming Autumn. Purrsonally we love the change of seasons, even if we don't really get much of an autumn here in FloryDa. Love, Dori

* nods * Halloween is not a thing here in NZ although the shops have a lot of plastic tat for kids.
I love your mask photo, how dramatic you look!
Those are fabulous photos and a terrific selfie! I'm glad Milo is being taken care of and we hope the kittens and Mom are doing okay.
Shimshi, both your photos today are wonderful. I agree that the second photo has intersting light/dark qualities and does look a bit spooky. We're sending purrs for all the other kitties you're watching over. We hope they all do well.
That is a dilemma! Sending purrs that all goes well. Love the photos and art!
Shimshi! Your Selfie is definitely magnificent! Your art this week is gorgeous too! We love that you included a pumpkin! We don't "fall back" until next weekend. They have been talking about not "doing" daylight savings time in our province, but as most of our trade is north and south, we will follow the lead of Washington State, Oregon and California. We have cool weather right now. Snow does not normally start until after Halloween, we are not looking forward to that! Keeo being awesome! Marv
Oh, I love the picture with the light on your eyes!
Oh, you wonderful kittu-helpers. That Mila is ADORABLE. And oh, to see those (?) kittens, if they exist. Let's hear more as it unfolds.
Happy Halloween guys, we hope it's EPIC!
Love your pictures, Shimshhi! And the artwork too.
Hooray for Milo being taken good care of till he finds someone to gotcha him forever.
Hope the little kitty family can the dilemma it presents can be sorted out to the best way for all of them.
Shimshi, that’s a very handsome selfie. I like how the light shines on your face. I’m glad Milo is being taken care of and I hope he can find his forever home soon. And it does sound rather complicated with Callicallou…and now there’s Melba and those kittens to think about too.
