Prepurring for Pessach with Shimshi: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybuddies!

It's Me again, the Mighty Shimshon (Shimshi for short). The Little Purrince, Fursst of My Name, a.k.a. The Baby Mancat, Master of the Queen's Mischiefs, and Captain-of-the-Guard. I am here to repurresent my Fellow 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, hosted by the Deliciously and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

This week, We welcomed the arrival of Mummy's brother, Uncle D. (to whom We graciously gave up Our Room). He has come for Pessach (Passover) and will be here the whole month (although he may go to stay with Mummy's sister Auntie N. at some stage).

We picked out a couple of selfies this week, which We artified in many different ways. Let's start off with the originals.

In this furrst picture, I was proving to Mummy that despite still being - how does She put it? Somewhat -well, Rotund - I can still touch My Toesies.

In the second selfie, We used the Wide frame angle on Mummy's meowbile phone, which made my ears look big and my arm furry long:

Then We found a couple of frames on PhotoFunia so Mummy could always keep these photos on her dressing-table:

I don't know about you, but purr-sonally, I feel these frames are more suited to autumn or winter, so I made Mummy take me over to LunaPic, where We artified the pawtraits in a much more Spring-like spirit. 

The furrst one, where I was demonstrating my toe-touching prowess, We artified with Dawn at 64%, with an Acid overlay at 16%:

The second one, which Mummy thought looked quite artful as it was, given the unusual angle, was given a touch-up with Courtisane at 59%, followed by K2 Art at 32%:

But it didn't end there. Mummy took Us back to PhotoFunia, where We created Greetings cards for Pessach:

I know they look like Easter eggs, but hardboiled eggs are also a traditional part of the Passover Seder, which will take place next Caturday night, April 12th.

Before Pessach, however, We have two other impawtant events to celebrate. This Tuesday, April 8th, Mummy will be celebrating her gazillionth Birthday. And on Furriday, April 11th, We will be celebrating Caspurr's Gotcha Day with a big picnic at 2pm Israel time, up in the Enchanted Forest. You know the drill - and are all invited. 

Here, now, are the blog hop badges:

        

Since next Sunday is Pessach, and Mummy stays away from the Computer on Shabbat and Holy Days, We will most likely not be here till the week after next - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. 

To those of you who celebrate Pessach - Chag Sameach - חג שמח!

And to those of you who will be celebrating Easter in two weeks time - Happy Easter!

Whatever you celebrate - be well. Be safe. We love you all!
