Caturday Art and Sunday Snoozies with Caspurr

 Greetings, Effurryone!

This week, I,  Sir Caspurr, the Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of My Name, the Snuggle Bug, Commander-in-Chief of the Impurrial Forces, King of the Tigger-Tabbies, will be repurresenting 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 Snoozies  Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMum, Janet.

To this end, I have chosen 3 pawtaits of Myself, in all of which I am snoozing - or at least, trying to snooze, despite the bothersome intrusions of the Pawpawrazzi! I had to try out several napping spots before I found the best one. Furrst of all, I tried the Obvious Place - the bed:

But I couldn't get any peace and quiet there, so, after artifying the photo with two LunaPic filters (Landscape at 83% and Scribble at 22%) - 

I moved on to the big couch in the living-room:

But there, too, I was not allowed to snooze uninterrupted. Mummy kept badgering Me to help choose some appropriate filters to artify the photo. As you can see, I chose Shattered at 62% (which fairly described the way I was feeling at being continually disturbed), with an overlay of Sunshine at 25%:

I then moved on to the Guest Kitty room and settled myself on the sofa:

Thankfully, I was allowed to remain here unmolested (mol) and Mummy went away to choose the artsy-fartsy effects herself. She used Watercolour at 45%, washed over with Sketch4 at 25%:

All in all, I don't think She did too badly, do you?

And, before I, She, We fur-get, here are the blog hop badges:

Several of you have asked about Mummy's Caterwauling Club and the kind of mew-sic they sing. So We thought We'd give a brief description of Mummy's Mew-sical Activities.

Mummy belongs to the Jerusalem Oratorio Chamber Choir, which, together with three other small choirs, together form the Jerusalem Oratorio Choir. Each of the small choirs purr-forms its own repurr-toire and each year, the big choir works on a larger-scale piece which they all purr-form together, usually with an orchestra.
Sometimes, the smaller choirs take part in special projects with other choirs. For example, a few weeks ago, the JOCC sang Poulenc's Gloria, as well as a specially commissioned setting of Psalm 33 (in Hebrew, of course) by the composer Irena Svetova. And the year before last, they sang Orff's Carmina Burana with four other choirs plus the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. Over the years, Mummy and her Caterwauling Club have purr-formed such major classical works as Handel's Messiah and Judas Maccabaeus, Haydn's Creation and Nelson Mass, Mozart's Requiem and C-Minor Mass, Purr-golesi's Stabat Mater, Bach's Magnifi-Cat, Vivaldi's Gloria, the  Fauré Requiem, Mendelssohn's Elias, as well as modern works for choir such as Noam Sheriff's Spanish Passion, John Rutter's Magnifi-Cat and Requiem, Bloch's Avodat Hakodesh, Missa Criolla by Ramirez, Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man and many, many others.
In addition, the smaller choirs each have their own repertoire, consisting of many different kinds of music, classical and modern, arrangements of popular Israeli and foreign music, African-American spirituals, folksongs etc. etc. If you visit Mummy's blog, she has written many times about their concerts. Just type Jerusalem Oratorio Choir or Jerusalem Oratorio Chamber Choir in the Search Box.

Before We sign off, We would like to say We are purring with all Our Might for all those affected by the terrible fires in California. If only it would snow and rain there, to help put the fires out! 

See you next week then. Till then - be well. Be safe. We LOVE you all!
