The Many Facets of Caspurr: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurrybody!


Well, after a spell of more or less normal weather, We are in for another heatwave they say, with Heavy Heat Stress.  This kind of roller-coaster is  "normal" here for late summer and early autumn.

Mummy bought one of those Air Coolers that have become furry trendy of late, with all sorts of claims about who invented them. Whateffur you may have heard, they are an Israeli invention and they were using something furry similar - although much larger and bulkier - in Eilat in the 1970's already. They used to call them Desert Coolers.

Now, as you will have guessed from the title of today's Post, I, Sir Caspurr the Courageous, the Caspicatious, Furrst of My Name etc. etc. etc. will be repurresenting 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.


The three selfies We selected this week were all artified using BeFunky, and framed with the help of LunaPic.


Furrst up, here is one of Me demonstrating My Birdwatching skills:














This one came out a bit dark (We had the shutters half down because of the heat), but Mummy played around with the light levels and after adding the Gouache4 filter, it turned out really purrty, We think:













Next, here is one of Me doing what I do best - being a Snuggle Bug. I was waiting patiently for Mummy to put the camera down and give me Tummy Smooches:































And here is the slightly cropped, artified version, using the Pixel Art GFX filter at 70%:







And finally, a Formal Pawtrait of Me, Up Close and Purrsonal. Note My raspy, little pink tongue:






























For this one, We made a wild and wackily-coloured artsy-fartsy version, using the Vector Pop GFX filter at 60%:




























Which one do you like best? Tell Us in the Comments section below.


Next up, here are the blog hop badges:


        



That's all for now. The heat is making Us furry sleepy so We are off to have a Snooze Siesta (and so is Mummy). See you all, COD willing, next week - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Sir Caspurr we love that you're looking out the window for birdies. You know me I'm looking for birdies and squirrels and Bunny rabbits. And would you look at you with your raspy tongue, I'm imagining you're telling your mum then it's time for supper. We sure hope the cooler works for you because it doesn't sound like it's very pleasant right now where you live. We've been watching some TV shows about Israel and Jerusalem and we've enjoyed seeing more scenery like your mum shows us.

Caspurr, we love all your pictures! But ... This week we like the artifications on the second two pictures the best. Two very different, but each very effective, blends of the colors in those particular pics.

Caspurr, I love all your selfies and art, but your tummy is irresistible! I will happily teleport over and give you all the tummy scritches you want! 😻

I hope the cooling unit works well! I couldn't be without my central air conditioning now, climate change makes our heat waves too much for this Canadian woman! 😁

Caspurr...my mommy wants to hurry through the tunnel (not that she could fit, mind...) and smooch that tummy of yours to your hearts content!! I laid my tummy over mom's ear and eye during the night! Eventually the worst happened and she had to nudge me off.

Sir Caspurr, these are all absolutely adorable photos and every piece of art is amazing. We cannot possibly pick a favorite, as they are all outstanding. The middle one does have those purple hues are mom loves, but she is also a fan of impressionist art like the first one, and wild and bright colors like in the last. So, we found all the art the best! Thanks for hopping with us!
