Yom Kippurr with the J-Cats

Greetings, Effurrybody!

We hope you (and your pawrents/staff) are all well. 

Since, later this week, We will be celebrating the Holiest Day in the Mewish Calendar, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippurr (which starts at sunset on Wednesday October 1st and ends the following evening), and since We will be away for the next two weeks, because Mummy is going on vacation, We have chosen an Ussie featuring all three of Us 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 Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.














It's a bit hard to see Shimshi in this one, as he is curled up on the coffee table (top centre) furthest away from the camera, so We suggest you biggify the picture.


Next, We used BeFunky's Pixel Art GFX filter to artify the picture and then returned to LunaPic, to frame both pictures and create a Yom Kippurr greeting card to wish you גמר חתימה טובה (G'mar Chatima Tova), which literally means "A good final sealing". This refers to the belief that one's fate for the coming year is written down on Rosh Hashana, the Mewish New Year, and then sealed on Yom Kippur, thus giving a few more days to repent from one's sins before The Book is sealed.













And finally, here are the blog hop badges:


        



Before We go, We want to remind you not to worry when you don't see Us for the next two weeks. As We said, Mummy is going on vacation and We can't post without her help. While She is off gallivanting in Foreign Parts,  her Cleaning Lady, Ms. M. (the one who always brings Us lovely boxes to climb into and play with) will be taking care of Us. Of course, that is no Substitute for Mummy - who had better bring Us Lots and Lots of Treats as Atonement for Tempurrarily Abandoning Us - but We reckon at least We can easily purrsuade Ms. M. to be extra generous with said Treats (mol).


So, till Our Next Post, be well. Be safe. We love you all.


G'mar Chatima Tova!

We are so glad to see your photo today and all the artwork. And how exciting that Mum is going to have a vacation and she's going somewhere out of the country it sounds like. We can't wait for a few weeks until she comes back and you all can tell us where she was. In the meantime play with your boxes and we will miss you for a little while.

May your staff have a most wondrous holiday. I bet they shall go far and be visiting many treat makers on their hols. That is a great picture, and yes, we did have to enlarge it, MOL
The artwork has come out really well, and has jazzed up the fabrics a lot.
May there be many blessings upon you all, travelling or at home.

Very nice ussie. And I like the art too. I hope your mum has a great vacation and stays safe. G'mar Chatima Tova. XO

When our cleaning lady Chris comes, she showers us with treats. If we lived with her we would all weigh 300 pounds. Two weeks is a long time to be without your mummy. We sure hope she has a good time on her vacation. We like the colors in the art version of your ussie. Happy Yom Kippurr! Thanks for hopping with us!
