A Double Celebration: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Hallo there, Effurryone!


Sir Caspurr here - The Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of My Name, the Snuggle Bug, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces, King of the Tigger-Tabbies!

As you have no doubt deduced, it is My Turn to lead the J-Cats in 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.













As Trixie mentioned last week, Tuesday was My 10th Gotcha Day Annifurrsary, but because of the bad weather, We postponed the pawty till this week. In fact, We will be holding it tomorrow, which also happens to be Shimshi's 9th birthday. We are expecting tempurratures of about 26 - 27 degrees Celsius - just right for a lovely picnic in the Enchanted Forest overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem, to which you are all invited. We shall start at 1pm Israel time, to take advantage of the hottest, sunniest time of day, and also,  so as to be able to enjoy the sunset, but still finish before nightfall, because tomorrow evening sees the start of Holocaust Remembrance Day, when it would be inappropriate to have a pawty.

As I said, tomorrow is Shimshi's 9th birthday, so here is a twofur of Us together, sharing a sunpuddle.













We have left the planning of the pawty to Trixie, because lady-cats are so much better at that sort of thing than man-cats.

(He means man-cats are too lazy to get the job done propurrly. But neffur fear - With ME in charge, it will all be planned down to the Last Detail and beautifully organized. Trixie )














And here is an Ussie - all three of Us together, having a confurrence about the pawty.













We artified all four of these pictures, using LunaPic filters. My Own Sunday Selfie, with My Pawselain Dolly-Sister, Miss Dorothea,  has the Dreaming Effect at 50%, with an overlay of Quirky at 30%.













For My Twofur with Shimshi, We used Candy at 45% overlaid with Ceremony at 30%.














Trixie's picture, where She shows off her Extremely Flexible Tongue, is so beautiful that She hardly needs artification, but She requested Beauty at 75%:













Finally, for the Ussie, We allowed Mummy to choose a filter. We don't know what to make of Her Choice - Monster at 55%. Is She trying to tell Us something (mol)? She can't mean - No! It must be a hint that it's going to be a Costume Pawty!














Do you have a favourite among these pictures?

Now, it is time to put up the blog hop badges:


        


Looking forward to seeing you at the Picnic Pawty tomorrow. The usual coordinates. Anyone who hasn't been to a pawty in the Enchanted Forest before, just let Us know and We will send the coordinates directly to your Transportation Device.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Gallant Sir Caspurr, 10 years at the most wonderful home ev-fur fur you. And 9th birthday fur man-cat Shimshi. Trixie most definitely has her paws full planning a great purr-ty. I hope to come, but if you don't see me, it is 'cause I couldn't get first class flight seat. Precious

Happy Gotcha Day to you, and happy birthday to Shimsi. All of the art is lovely but your selfie is my favourite. I love the monster too as purple is a favourite colour of mine.
