Still On The Subject Of Messi: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo again, Effurrybody!

Queen Trixie here, Furrst of My Name, etc. etc. etc.

We are (sort of) back to taking it in turn to lead the J-Cats on the weekend 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 the Adorable, Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

So, without further ado, here is My Selfie:













However, Mummy could not resist sharing with you this twofur of my Pesky Brofurs as well (they are okay when they are sleeping):














But let there be no Misunderstanding here. It is I, the Queen-Empurress Trixie, who is Blog Hop Leader this week. And to emphasise that Fact, here is My Artified Pawtrait, using no less than THREE LunaPic filters: Splash at 40%, overlaid with Surreal Painting at 80% and finally, a dash of Tuscany at 20%:














However, (and although Mummy forgot My Gotcha Day on November 12th) We are, once again, including Uncle Messi, because yesterday, December 10th, was  his 6th Gotcha Day and he doesn't have a blog of his own and he is feeling so furry sad and lonely since Grandpaw was called to the Rainbow Bridge. So We have taken the picture of him We posted last week, and artified it with LunaPic's Beauty filter at 70% - to match the picture of him and Grandpaw that We shared the week before last:



























Mummy also wants to say She is sorry She still hasn't written about Grandpaw in her own bloggie. Effurry time She tries, her eyes start to leak again and her vision gets so blurry, She can't see the keyboard. She thinks She might have to take a couple more weeks, till the pain is not so raw. In the meanwhile, She will post about another study trip she went on last month. So keep your eyes peeled.

Now, here are the blog hop badges:


     



That's all for now.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Queen Trixie, how beautiful a queen you are, and generous to share
the Sunday blog with the "boys" and Messi. Happy belated gotcha to you
and dear lonely Messi. Your mum is allowed weepy eyes fur now. It'll
take quite a while fur those tears to dry. But the 3 of you can help
her stay busy with human slavery to the kitties at home. And seeing
dear Messi as often as possible. Purrs, Precious

Queen Trixie, your selfie is most unique and interesting, and the artified version only enhances it. I always love the play of light and shadow, and your expression with one open 'sly' eye, which silently begs one to go away, is priceless. Brothers are brothers and best left to their own resources. You should only deign to honour them with your presence on special occasions, your Highness.

I am sorry that everything is overshadowed by sadness right now. Poor Messi looks so distraught. I hope you can all give each other comfort in this time of loss. You have my condolences.

Adorable pics. And the art is lovely.

Tell your mum we understand. My mum feels the same about the loss of her dear brother. It's been nearly 5 months and she can't talk or write about it.

Purrs xx

Your art is beautiful, and so is Messi's art. Belated happy Gotchaversary.

Trixie! You are the bestest Queen EVER! Such a large and generous heart that you share with the boys and Messi. We send your Peep and Messi our purrayers for your loss. We understand about the eyes leaking and the giant hole in your hearts where your beloved GrandPaw resides. It will eventally fill up with your love and memories and happiness, but that always takes time. In the meantime, we love your art (and Messi's too and we send you purrayers, whisker kisses and head bonks (can you make sure you give your Peep some from us too?). Keep on being awesome! Purrs Marv and Mom

I love your selfie, Trixie. You look very relaxed…as do your brothers. Happy belated Gotcha Day to you! And Happy Gotcha Day to Messi. I’m sorry he’s missing Grandpa so much. I send him a comforting headbutt. ~Ernie

You're all purrfectly adorable!

Ramblingon said...

Queen Trixie, I understand about your Mom and her Dad. My mm can't relly write about her experience either right now.

Linda said...

Great work with the filters! I hope you will continue to help Messi get through the loss.

CactusCatz said...

You all look great. Try to give your Mom lots of purrs and rubs. It takes time to stop missing someone who goes over the rainbow bridge but purrs help the sadness.

Furries said...

Trixie, your selfie and art are beautiful. The boys are cute cuddled up beside each other. And Happy 6Th Gotcha Day to Messi.

Peachy, Stippie, Angel Binky and Granny said...

Both artworks are very beautiful💗Happy belated Gotchaversary sweeties🎉 Tell your mommy that Granny is still in tears when she sees Little Binky in her pictures and stories. It's hard to let go of someone you loved deeply even when you know that they're still around, even if we can't see them...always✨Here's an Extra Pawkiss for all of you🐾😽💞
