Shimshi Captures The Castle: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybuddies!

It is Me again, The Mighty Shimshon (aka Shimshi), The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain of the Guard. Today, I am also King of the Laundry Basket Castle, as I got there furrst, pipping to the Post all of my fursibs. I like to sit there after breakfast, because the Utility Room, where the washing machine and the laundry basket are kept, is the best place for catching the early morning sunshine.

Here I am:

Of course, the laundry basket is a furry sought-after spot, so one has to be pretty nifty to get there furrst!

Anyway, seeing as it's My Turn to repurresent the J-Cats in the weekend blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, which is hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Sweet and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet - I decided that a Selfie of Me in My Castle would be just the thing!

Mummy helped Me to artify it, with the help of some of LunaPic's beautiful filters and other artsy-fartsy effects.

Furrst of all, here I am, with the Surreal Painting effect:

The next special effect We tried was Cartoon, at 60%:

And finally, Seurat at 85% with an overlay of Grey, set to 55%:

So tell Us, which did you like best?

As soon as the selfie was done, Mummy made Me get down from my Comfy Castle, so She could put on the Laundry. But I got My Own Back, kitties (and woofies) - don't think I didn't! Mummy accidentally left the bathroom door open and I jumped up on top of the bathroom cabinet. Mummy got such a fright (because I am not supposed to get up there) that She completely forgot to take a picture of The Incident. And She had to climb up on a chair to get Me down. (I actually needed help, because finding a landing point for getting down was not as easy as finding a launchpad for jumping up. But of course, I wasn't going to tell Her that.)

Okay, Now it is time to put up the blog hop badges. Here they are:

        

In other news, We just want to tell you to look out for Mummy's blog sometime later this week, as She went on an "urban tour" last Thursday afternoon in the village of Ein Karem and She thinks She will write about it - as well as about the furry weird, modern piece of mew-sic She is working on with her Caterwauling Club pals.

And just before We set out on today's blog hop visits, We want to wish you a Good Week (שבוע טוב - Shavua Tov).

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
