Baby, It's Cold Outside: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybuddies!

Today, it is MY turn 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 the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

So here I am, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short) a.k.a. The Little Purrince, Furrst of My Name, a.k.a. The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs and Captain-of-the-Guard.

When this picture was taken, there was still some sunshine. Now there is none. It is cold and grey and there was a lot of water falling from the sky earlier today.

I like this picture - and I know you will too - because of the way my beautiful Tailio dangles over the edge of the sofa.  

We made a couple of different artifications of this picture, with the help of the Bright Minds at LunaPic.

Furrst of all, We used the Quirky effect at 55%, tinged with Sadness at 27%. We have so many things to be sad about in this part of the world, that We don't even need to explain...

This next one uses a couple of Our recently rediscovered favourites - Ceremony at 50%, with an overlay of Connections at 21%:

Now, as I said, it is My Turn to lead the J-Cats on the weekend blog hops this time, but since Trixie had a furry traumatic expurrience last Thursday, when she was hauled off to the Stabby Place by Mummy, I thought it the Gentlemancatly Thing to Do to include her this week. And since it wouldn't be fair to leave out Caspurr, My Big Brofur, here is a Really Rare Twofur of them Together, without Trixie insisting on any Barriers between them!

The Immediate Cause of Trixie's Abduction and Tempurrary Incarceration was an overgrown toenail that had curled right round and back into her pawpad. However, once at the Stabby Place, where she had to be sedated to get the Job done, she got a complete Miaowni-PediCure, and a panel of blood tests as well. Mummy got the results today and was astounded to hear that Trixie has NOTHING whatsoever wrong with her kidneys - though her teefs aren't in furry good condition. All her bloodwork results were Purrfect. Moreover, she has gained some weight, which makes Mummy furry pleased. I don't understand that at all. She wants ME to LOSE weight!

Anyway, here are the artified versions of the Twofur. Furrst of all, a colourful combination of Flashgordon at 38% and Beauty at 21%:

And secondly, a more sober composition using Storytime at 60% and Lake at 31%:

Now, We mustn't forget the blog hop badges, must We?

        

Now it is time to start hopping. We'll be back here again next week - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel.

Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.
