Pawtraits of a Tabby King: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies with Caspurr

Greetings, Effurryone!

Mummy has been back for almost two weeks now and things are starting to get back to normal. Last night, they put the clocks back from wherever they had taken them, so We were forced to wait an extra hour for Breakfast this morning. But We put the time to good use by snuggling with Mummy. Not that it was cold or anything, but Snuggling is always Good.

In fact, although Summer is officially over, you wouldn't think so from the weather here. There is, it's true, a slight nip in the air at night, but daytime tempurratures are still hovering in the mid to upper 20s Celsius and there is, as yet, no sign of Rain, which is Not Good. Last year was furry dry and We really, really need that Rain to make the crops grow and to raise the level of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee).

Mummy is wondering whether the Ceasefire is going to hold. She wrote about it in her own bloggie. She actually meant to write about her Foreign Jaunt, but had to let off steam about the so-called "ceasefire" (meaning We cease and the Hamas Monsters continue to fire). She will try to write about her Vacation later this week, once She has sorted out the 600 or so photos She took!
By the Way - has anybody guessed yet where Mummy went?

Now, it is time for Us to join the Weekend 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.

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 this week on those blog hops, so let's jump right in with My New Official Pawtrait:

All the artifications this week came from LunaPic. Here is the furrst, which uses the Courtisane effect at 57%:

Next, We tried the furry colourful Nouveau filter. In fact, it was so colourful, We toned it down to just 43%:

Finally, We made a more sober version, using Ceremony, at 58%. One needs to be dignified for ceremonies, after all (mol)!

But it doesn't end there. Oh,no, indeed!   These three pawtraits have gone on display at the PhotoFunia Pawtrait Gallery, for all to see and admire:

And that is still not the end. Mummy got a bit confused, due to not being one to celebrate Howl O'Ween, which is not really "a thing" here in Israel, and forgot, until having a look at some of the other entries in the blog hops, that this will be Our Last Post before Spooky Night. So She hastily concocted this Howl O'Ween card for your Delectation, using the Devilish art filter (which seemed to her the Most Suitable, all things considered) at 34%:

Next, here are the blog hop badges:

        

That's it for now, then, dear Furriends. We'll be back again, COD willing, next week - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. Till then, be well. Be safe. We love you all.
