Hallo there, Effurryone!
This week, We were furry Co-operative and posed nicely in front of the radiator together, so for 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 - We are bringing you an Ussie!
You are purrobably asking yourselves what is that object on the floor in front of Us. Well, it's Mummy's Old Mattress. She bought a new one, out of Meowmory Foam. But She needs help getting the old spring mattress down the stairs and outside for the garbage collectors, so She is waiting for our Cleaning Lady, Ms. M., to come and help her. Meanwhile, as She is not so inclined to go out for her Daily Walk because of the weather, She has been using it as an exercise mat. And, of course, We kitties also like having another soft, bouncy surface to play on.
(The Truth is, it's also hard for her to say goodbye to an Object which has served her faithfully for over 35 years. Uncle D. says She has a Tendency to anthropomorphise Inanimate Objects -whateffur that may mean.)
We made three different artifications of this picture, all using the amazing filters and effects available from LunaPic. This furrst one uses Grey at 59% with just a hint of colour from Nouveau at 22%:
Next, We have this colourful piece, using one filter only - Candy at 43%:
And finally, in tribute to the predicted weather conditions, this one, in which We combined Sketch4 at 62% with Frost at 35% - and then added a Snowfall animation, for good measure:
To be quite honest, howeffur, We suspect that this animation is all the snow We are going to see. The weather forecast keeps changing and the likelihood of there actually being any snow in Jerusalem seems to be be receding with effurry hour. Having said that, Mummy just checked the weather forecast and now (contrary to what they said two hours ago), We are being told to expect snow showers around 7 to 8 am tomorrow (Monday) morning. Well - We'll believe it when We see it. What We can say with certainty is that it's furry, furry Cold - 5 degrees Celsius, with a Real Feel of just 1 degree, thanks to the Wind Chill Effect.
What it must be like for the remaining Israeli hostages still being held in the Hamas Terror Tunnels below ground in Gaza - the ones who are still alive - We dare not even try to imagine.

Before We go, here are the blog hop badges:
We will see you all again next week, same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Meanwhile - be well. Be safe. We love you all.

We love the usie in the fun thought of using the mattress to play on for the kitties and for Mum exercise. Is still bitter cold here in ohio, snow is on the ground but the sun is shining. And no new snow is predicted the entire week long. Precious may even get a sun puddle this afternoon, and she did yesterday too. However even those snow is aggravating to us here, we liked your last picture because it was blue and it did have snowflakes that matched the winter.
Fantastic ussie and I love all the artifications!
Nice Ussie and artwork.
Lovely Ussie and art. Candy is my favourite.
Well, we are lucky indeed to see all three of you in one pic for your selfie and art!
I hope your mummy enjoys sleeping on the new mattress! 35 years is a long time with the same one!
As for your temps, I know that's cold for you, so stay warm and cosy! 💕
Great art. We especially love the candy and also the snowflake animation!

Ooh, number two for us this week, followed by number 1, then 3. Mrs H suggests being kind to things that have served us well is a great bit of training for treating all creatures well. May all who have been loist be returned to all who have lost, and may there be peace once more.

What a lovely Usie! And we would like it if our Mom's mattress was on the floor for us! We do, however, have an orthopaedic dog bed (that belonged to Cinnamon) that is in our living room and we LOVE the bouncy fluffyness of it too! We LOVE your ART! Especailly the snowy one! We have had tons of snow this winter but it has NOT been that cold - we have only had one week where it was -20c, most of the time we have been 5 degrees either side of zero which means we get snow in the early mornings and it will "stick" until the temperatures stay above zero at night! Keep being awesome! Marvelous Marv
All of your art turned out amazing. Our mom has trouble throwing things away as well, but an old mattress … not so much! We have had a much colder winter than usual and more snow than we’ve had in several years. We want spring. 🙏🏻 for the hostages. Thanks for hopping.

We had lot of snow for about a week, but once again it has all disappeared with the warmer temps. Maybe we can get some more in March. We love your artwork, especially the one with the snowflakes.
