Messing With Messi: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies

Greetings, Effurryone!

We have a Special Treat for you this week. Can you guess what it is?

That's right - a Guest Selfie, starring Our Woofie Uncle Messi!

Strictly speaking, it should be Caspurr's turn to lead his fellow J-Cats on the weekend blog hops today - 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 Delightfully and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet. But Caspurr is a bit exhausticated from all the pawtying this past week, so he is resting up for the next round of pawties. This coming Furriday, April 17th, is Shimshi's 12th purrthday and next week, of course, is Independence Day! We shall be celebrating with Shimshi up in the Enchanted Forest, on Friday afternoon, at 3pm Israel Time. Needless to say, you are all invited. The Weather Prophets say we can expect a sharav, with tempurratures between 28 - 30 degrees Celsius.

So Messi stepped up, like the trouper he is, and graciously consented to stand in for his niece and nephews.

Here he is, sprawled reclining elegantly on Step-Grandma's bed, which was previously out of bounds but because he got really freaked out by all the boomies, and the tension in the air, and has been barred from the Guest Room since Mummy's niece moved in there, as she has a serious allergy to woofie and kitty fur, he has managed to persuade Step-Grandma to let him stay there:

Do you like the frame? Mummy created it with the help of LunaPic.  In fact, all the frames this week are from LunaPic - but the art is by BeFunky this time.

The furrst artification uses the Comic Noir filter at 50%:

Next up - an artsy fartsy version using Polyart GFX:

And finally, a furry colourful rendition, featuring the Impressionist2 filter:

Which is your favourite? Do let Us know in the Comments section below!

Now, just between Us, Caspurr is not the only one to be a tad exhausticated. Mummy is too. She will (hopefully) be going to Caterwauling Club this evening, so She really needs to have her Siesta this afternoon. As for the rest of the week - thanks to the Ceasefire, the nature hikes, which have been on hold since the War with Iran started, are now being resumed (although not in the North, where the War continues against Hezbollah) and there is supposed to be one tomorrow, although Mummy won't be going this time, as She is still in too much pain from her fall the week before last, besides which, She has an appointment with the cardiologist in the afternoon. But since She notified them in advance, She has the right to an alternative outing any time up till August 2027. She assumes her bruised bum will have recovered by then.

Now, here are the blog hop badges:

        

And now, it's time for Us to start hopping. We will try to visit as many of you as We can. And, of course, We will be back next week, COD-willing - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. 

Till then, be safe. Be well. We love you all.
