Remembering Possum: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurryone!

Caspurr here, the Official Snuggle-Bug, ready to lead the J-Cats on this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by our dear furriends, the delightful Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.


Here is My Selfie:














And here it is, all artified, with LunaPic's Harsh Lighting filter at 78%, overlaid with the Tuscany art effect at 70%:















But that is enough about Me. We have more impawtant things to write about this week. No, not the updates We promised last week, about the Intruder Outside kitties (CalliCallou and Melba), or about Milo, the kitten Step-Grandma has been taking care of.  We faithfully promise to do that next week, instead.


No, this week, We want to write about Angel Possum, who went before, and who flew away to the Rainbow Bridge ten years ago last Furriday (October 21st).





Like Me, Possum was a Snuggle-Bug. And, like Me, one of his favourite pawsitions was on his back, with his paws in the air, offurring his Extraordinarily Snorgleable Tummy for Mummy to smooch.






















Here is a picture of Me, for compurrison:









It is no wonder then, that Mummy is convinced that Possum picked Me out specially and sent Me to her - just as Pixie chose Trixie and the two of them together picked Shimshi for her.  We are part of the continuing chain of Kitty Heritage that links Human and Feline. 

Mummy keeps looking out of the window. The sky is furry cloudy but Mr. Sun is still peeping through. Last Thursday evening, there was an electric storm with thunder boomies and lightning flashes, but no skywater. That only came later, during the night, and the following morning. We don't know if it will rain this evening, like the Weather Lady says, but it certainly makes for beautiful sunsets.
Mummy says that it will no doubt pour just when She goes out to her Caterwauling Club. Yes, kitties, She is still doing that - but at least Uncle D. will be here to minister to Our Demands Needs while Mummy is out.

Now, We shall put up the blog hop badges:




            
     




Time to sign off till next week, Dear Furriends. See you then.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Ah, the circle of life. If we are kind to all sentient beings, to nature, we will come back in one form or another. So yes, you may well all know each other from previous lives and thus guide one another to each other.
There is a lot to be said about singing bring on the rain, MOL
Hopefully your staff wont get too wet, and will come back promptly to minister to your needs for second, third and fourth suppers 😉

Dear Caspurr, I love to look into your green eyes. I have green eyes to match, if anyone sees me in the daylight. I'm still being a bit of a vampire nearly 2 weeks after the v-e-t. Angel Possum looks so floofy, but Lynn says it makes her sad to see. Our Angel Seney looked so much the same kind of floof. Precious

Caspurr, we loved seeing how you relax just like Possum! We agree, surely he had a paw in bringing you and your mum together! XO

Zoolatry said...

You do look wonderful Sir Caspurr and your selfie and art are both fabulous. It was nice to see Angel Possum and we enjoyed both belly photos too.

That is a lovely selfie. Sending hugs to your mum as she remembers Possum. Very nice art. XO

Beautiful selfies! Our Rainbow Bridge kitties most definitely send us their successors...

The Island Cats said...

Possum was adorable! I’m sure she had a paw in bringing you to your mom. Purrs to all of you as you remember her today.

My World said...

What a cute Selfie, Caspurr and Angel Possum. Our Angels always send the right match for us and make sure that you can smile a lot because of the similarities they show. We smile now too, see😸Double Pawkissies for all of you🐾😽💞

Love and happiness to possum. ..

The J-Cats said...

Thank you for the pawkissies. We tried to return your visit, because We don't think We have met before, but could not do so, as it seems you haven't enabled public access to your profile.

Marvelous Marv said...

Caspurr, Possom picked a most gorgeous and lovy replacement! We are sure that Possom is still watching over you and your Peep from OTB. And we were happy to hear that other "befores' picked the rest of you too!
That happens at our house too! Kozmo was picked by Hissy Old Licorice and I Marvelous was picked by Nellie Bellie. Even our hairy slobbery sister Cinnamon was picked by the before hairy slobbery sister Sam!
Keep being Awesome! Purrs Marv

Possum was so beautiful. I'm very sure he picked yoo out. My momma says she has lost some very precious fur babies, and is always amazed when someone shows up (always a stray) to fill the hole in her heart. And sometimes a kitty shows up who is so much like one of her lost furkids, she wonders have they come back in another body!

Right now my sister Elly is so much like Sami who left many years ago. Fwank is like Buddy who lived to 24 despite having diabetes for ten years. My daddy Nikolas is much like momma's favorite Nicholas, so she named him after Nick. I'm not like anybuddy she ever had before. I'm an original! Love and Purrs, Dori
