Caspurr's Caturday Art and Sunday Selfie: One Month Into The War

Greetings, Effurryone.

It's been a whole month now since this war started, and further details are still coming to light about the dreadful, awful, horrible things the Evil Ones from Gaza did on that furrst day, October 7th. What makes Mummy even more upset is the fact that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, there are people throughout the world who are denying that it happened at all and claiming that the evidence is fake!!!
We don't want to upset you all, so We aren't going to write about that here. Mummy will save that for her own blog, where She has already posted several articles on the subject, and will write more later this week.


One of the ways We "escape" from all the horrors is by taking part, each week, 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 those delightful, Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet. It is My Turn, this week, to repurresent the J-Cats, so without further ado, here is My Selfie.













I know, I know, I look as if I am snoozing when I should be on guard, but if you biggify the picture, you will see that I have one eye open. And if you biggify it some more, you can even catch a glimpse of my little pink tongue. I know your humans all LOVE glimpses of a kitty's tongue (mol).

We artified this picture with the help of LunaPic. We used the Psychedelic effect at full strength, but We thought it was rather too exuberant for the current situation, so we added an overlay of Sadness at 30%.













We thought it impawtant to keep cheerful, which is why, in spite of Our Subdued Spirits, it's still furry colourful.  However, for some reason, you can't see My Tongue so clearly in the artified version.


As Trixie mentioned last week, We have already put the clocks back, so now, the sun sets at about 4:30 pm and by 5:30 pm, it's already dark. On Wednesday, it absolutely poured with sky water. There was even thunder and lightning. But that only lasted one day. It's back to sunny skies, hardly any clouds and daytime tempurratures in the upper 20s Celsius.  Still, there is a definite nip in the air at night and in the early morning. Hallo, Autumn! Are you there?


Now, before We go (and let Mummy rest till it's time for Caterwauling Purractice), here are the blog hop badges:


        



See you next week. Till then, Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Happy hopping day to you all. We had the clocks change last week too, and are still feeling worn out by wrongly timed meals and misplaced naps, MOL
Your artwork this week is superb. A lovely choice of texture, and colours, and frame.
Stay safe and well, and above all, we are united for peace throughout the lands.

Adorable photo! I watch the news and can't even believe what some crazy people are saying.

CCL Wendy said...

Shimshi, no wonder you keep one eye open even when snoozing. You're very astute, as well as handsome. Your art is even more vivid, transforming your coat of many colours into a feast for the eyes.

We pray for you every day, and send our virtual love via pawsitive vibes. Hope you can feel the support.

Oh, you beautiful sleeping beauty…we see that one eye keeping watch on this crazy world. And yes we do have to keep our positive thoughts in place. War is so very STUPID and harmful to so many.
