Remembering Angel Possum - the MagnifiCat

Greetings, Effurrybuddy!


This week, it was supposed to have been Caspurr's turn to repurresent the J-Cats on 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 Delightfully and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

Howeffur, Caspurr pointed out that this coming Wednesday, October 21st,  is the 14th anniversary of the day Possum the MagnifiCat received his wings and departed for the Rainbow Bridge, leaving Mummy heartbroken.  Caspurr is convinced that Angel Possum purrsonally chose him to comfort Mummy - just as Princess PixieCato, who had received her angel's wings the year before, chose Trixie to be Mummy's beloved little Princess. Then the two of them together chose Shimshi to complete the Furrmily.

So this week, Angel Possum will be the Star of this week's Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies.


Furrst of all, here is a pawtrait of him in all his Furry Magnificence:
















He was, indeed, the floofiest kitty Mummy has effur known, even floofier than Trixie!


And, like Caspurr, he was an incredible Snuggle-Bug.


We created three artifications of him, all with the help of LunaPic.

Furrst up, here is one using the Tattoo effect, at 50%:















Next, the delicate pastel shades of Floating, at 67%:
















And finally, a pas de deux of Landscape (64%) and Tuscany (20%):


















But We aren't finished yet. Mummy took the Original Picture over to PhotoFunia, where She framed it and set it in a still life with a bouquet of beautiful daffodils:

















Aren't these all Beautiful? We can't decide which is the Beautifullest - and neither can Mummy!


Now, here are the blog hop badges:


        



Mummy will be extremely busy for the rest of the month with her opurras. Tomorrow, She has a four hour rehearsal in the late afternoon and evening and the following day is the Dress Rehearsal.  On Wednesday, She and her caterwauling friends will open in Jerusalem, with another purrformance in Petach Tikva on Saturday night, and two more purrformances next week in Kiryat Motzkin way up in the north, and in Rishon-le-Zion. But in spite of all that, We will do Our level best to be with you again next week, same Cat Time, same Cat Channel. 

Meanwhile, be safe. Be well. We love you all!

Possum certainly was a fluffy and handsome guy. Ah, sweet memories. Now as to the pictures and effects, I had plumped for number three on seeing the artified versions. But seeing the beautiful still life and photo frame, our hearts go out to that one fair and square.
Wow, your staff are very busy! We wish all the mistakes happen in the rehearsals, and all the concerts go brilliantly. I am sure they will be very well received, come what may, as your base standard is very good indeed.
Stay well, safe, happy and hopeful
Purrs of support

Angel Possum was magnificent, Sir Caspurr. Thank you for letting him be pictured this week! If he'd had a brown smudge down one side of his nose between the eyes, he'd been a twin fur our Angel Seney! Remarkable! Hope da Mum has wonderful singing.

Angel Possum was such a handsome mancat. He reminds me of my angel Chumley in his floofiness. All the artwork is wonderful, so I also cannot choose. ❤️

It's lovely to see your angel Possum. I like the Landscape/Tuscany artification best, but nothing quite beats the real photo.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Linda said...

I really like the Landscape (64%) and Tuscany (20%) picture of the handsome cat.

How wonderful to have a voice and sing with others. Good luck with all. Music is the food of love, that's for sure.

I know and remember Angel Possum...and Pixie...I even remember the dolls. As with all our babies who have gone on before us, I remember them. XXXXX

Katie Isabella said...

And Mom loves your Mom and her Caterwauling friends, too. ;-)

Kitties Blue said...

Possum was indeed floofy and an absolutely gorgeous cat making all the art purrfection. We absolutely could not pick a favorite. Many of us arrived by being sent by a former Kitties Blue. It just seems to happen that way, as the angels know our humans need the love and comfort of a cat. Thanks for hopping with us!
