Caturday Art Blog Hop

TWO BLUE BOYS ART

Caturday Art

An awake, air-biscuit-maker, Cooper Murphy, and a slumbering kitten, Gibbs, are teaming up today for Caturday Art.

To of the Kitties Blue boys, an orange tabby and a white and black kitten, are the subject of Caturday Art.

I used Painnt again to create the art. The effect is called, Half Hour. I increased the contrast slightly and decreased the saturation slightly. The frame is from the favpng app. The colorful flowers in the lower right corner are from piZap.

You can access this week’s puzzle by clicking on the photo below.

82nd Anniversary of D-Day

On June 6, 1944, armed forces landed on the beaches in Normandy, France, as part of what was known at the time as Operation Overlord (now known as D-Day). To commemorate last month’s Memorial Day holiday, Periwinkle & Stinky visited The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. If you missed that post and would like to check it out now, you can find it at, “The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky: Part CCCXLII.”

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Kitties Blue and I know you really do not need this reminder, but we have always included it on our Caturday post, so here it is again. One of our eight (as usual I have no idea which one) will be here tomorrow to host our weekly hop. It is open to all anipals regardless of species. All of us here at The House of Blue Cats look forward to seeing your precious faces each week, so we hope you will join in the fun anytime through Thursday.

In the meantime, have a happy Caturday.

GIBBS & SPARROWS

Caturday Art

An art rendering of a black and white kitten staring out a window at two sparrows on a bird feeder.

Other than the catio, this window in the bedroom is the favorite spot of Kitties Blue for bird watching.

To create today’s art, I used the Olio effect from Painnt. I increased the contrast slightly and then added a frame from favpng.

Here’s a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

I absolutely cannot believe that tomorrow is not only the last Sunday in May but also the last day of the month. The year is flying by. The older I get the faster the days and years pass. With any luck, this day will not slip by too quickly for me to convince one of the gang to snap a selfie.

Kitties Blue and I hope the day does not get past you before you can take a selfie and join us on tomorrow’s hop. We always enjoy seeing all your sweet faces each week, and really hope you will participate this week as well.

Thanks so much for visiting us today

TWO-HEADED PURPLE KITTEN

Caturday Art

Ooops … forgot to publish this!

Well, not exactly!

Two kittens curled up together and looking like one kitten with two heads in a purple, black and white art creation.

Gibbs and Tali were curled up together making them appear to be one cat with two heads.

To create the art, I used the Very Violet effect from Painnt with Lomo coloring. The floral border is from the favpng app.

Tali and Gibbs will be participating in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. You can do the same by clicking on Athena’s badge.

Here’s a jigsaw for all our puzzle fans.

130 Two-Headed Kitten

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Your host has already been selected and snapped a particularly adorable selfie, so all the Kitties Blue and I hope you will make time to join us for our blog hop. As it is another holiday weekend, we realize many of you will be busy entertaining or traveling. For that reason, don’t worry if you cannot join us tomorrow. Our hop always remains open through Thursday.

It’s always more fun with lots of participants, and all animals are well regardless of species. So, we hope to see you here.

Explanation of #4 Friendly Fill-In from Yesterday

In yesterday’s fill-ins I stated, “A fun fact about me is that I was kissed by Rick Springfield.” In the comments, some of you expressed curiosity about that event. Well, in 2017, Rick Springfield and Richard Marx gave a concert at our local performing arts center. During the performance, Springfield came into the audience and was shaking hands with and kissing audience members. I was sitting on the aisle not too many rows from the stage, and I got a kiss. Woo hoo!

Thanks for stopping by to visit us today.

RALEIGH’S DISORDERED ART

Caturday Art

I used the photo I posted of Raleigh for Wordless Wednesday as the basis for today’s art.

GINGER TABBY IN A CAT TREE TURNED INTO ART WITH THE DISORDER EFFECT FROM PAINNT.

To create the art I used the Disorder effect from Painnt and tinkered slightly with all the basic edits. The border is an overlay from piZap.

Of course, I made a puzzle.
120 Cat Art

Raleigh will be participating in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. To join him there, click on Athena’s badge.

Sunday Selfies

I know all of you who are regular participants in our Sunday Selfies blog hop do not need a reminder after doing this for the past 11-plus years. I always hope, however, that someone may stop by for the first time and not know about it. So, we will be here tomorrow with week #613 of the hop. As per usual, I do not have a clue which of the Kitties Blue will show up as your host. But, not only your host but also all seven of the remaining Kitties Blue and I will be looking for you right here.

Happy Caturday. Thanks for stopping in to see us today.

PEEK-A-BOO ART

Caturday Art

Tali is peeking out of the little cat-head-shaped peep hole in the Cattasaurus. It appears as if she is upside down, but she is not.

A white cat playing peek-a-boo in a Cattasaurus with a colorful art effect added.

To create today’s art I used the “Abstract 🖋️ Calligraphy ✒️” effect from Painnt. I did not tinker with any of the options to change the effect. I only added the frame from favpng.

Here’s the link to the puzzle I made.

121 Colorful Kitten

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Not only is tomorrow the day we post Sunday Selfies, but it is also Mother’s Day in the U.S. So, if you would like to include your human mom in your photo and make it an ussie, we would be delighted to see you together. As always, this is merely a suggestion and definitely not mandatory.

We also know with it being Mother’s Day that you might be busy pampering your mom by providing lots of cuddles, cat kisses and love. If that is the case, and you are too busy to join us tomorrow don’t worry about it. The hop always remains open through Thursday.

As usual, your host is currently a mystery to me. It will be whichever of the Kitties Blue I can sneak up on.

Thanks for stopping in today. Have a meowvolous Caturday.

RAINBOW CAT ART

Caturday Art

My favorite word is serendipity. And that is how I came about today’s art. When I walked into the bathroom yesterday, I encountered this amazing sight. It was created by a snowflake-shaped, prism decal on the window. We often get these rainbows on the bathroom floor, but I have never see one this large or bright.

Moments after I snapped this photo, Gibbs walked into the room. So, he and the rainbow became today’s art. I only added the frame.

A white and black cat lies beneath a rainbow created by a snowflake-shaped, prism, window decal creating art.

I made a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Tomorrow is the day when Kitties Blue host their weekly blog hop, and they are inviting you to join. If you are a regular, we hope you’ll be back again tomorrow. If you have never participated, please consider giving it a try. The hop is open to any and all animals, regardless of species. And, it is a great place to show off your adorableness and admire the cuteness of others. It’s also a great place to meet and make some new friends. So, the kitties and I would be delighted to have you join the fun. The hop is open through Thursday, so even if you do not normally post on Sundays, you can still take part.

One of our eight will be here as your host, but I do not have clue which one it might be. If you are not a hopper, we’d love for you to drop in anyway and say, “hi.”

Thanks for stopping in to see us today.

CATIO KITTEN ART

Caturday Art

Art rendering of a photo of a white and calico kitten on a catio framed in white with a green and white striped bow.

Tali is back again today with another photo from the catio. This one I turned into art using the “Kitchen Table” effect from Painnt. I changed the hue just slightly and then set hard light and analog for color and coloring. The frame is from the favpng app.

Here’s the cropped version of Tali’s art as a puzzle.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

That’s right: It is time for Sunday Selfies again tomorrow. Kitties Blue and I hope you will consider snapping a selfie and joining the hop. We love seeing you in all your adorableness each week. As expected, your host is a surprise … not just to you all but to me as well. So pop on by to see which of the gang shows up. We promise it will be fun, and you might even meet and make some new friends.

And tomorrow is National Pet Parent Day, so consider turning that selfie into an ussie and include your human in the photo. Just a thought … obviously, that’s not mandatory.

Thanks for visiting us today. We do look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.

COLORFUL KIZMET

Caturday Art

A grey cat named Kizmet in a cat tree in a colorful "artified photo."

Kizmet is checking out the new cat tree in today’s art creation.

To make today’s Colorful Kizmet art, I started with the Graffiti effect in Painnt with an increase in saturation. Then I added the Flux filter from piZap at 100 percent and a frame from the favpng app.

I also created a jigsaw for all the puzzle fans.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Tomorrow’s the day when you have the opportunity to show off your cuteness on our Sunday Selfies blog hop. We have a few cuties among Kitties Blue, and one of them will be here as your host. I, however, have no idea which one of them it will be. That means, even if you decide not to hop, we invite you to drop by to see which cat I coerced into taking a selfie. Maybe as tomorrow is Cat Lady Day, one of them will kindly volunteer. Naw … that’s not their style.

Whether you hop or not, we hope you will join us again tomorrow. Thanks for stopping in today. Kitties Blue and I truly appreciate it,

SPRINGTIME TABBY ART

Caturday Art

Cooper Murphy is here today in some springtime art. He was resting atop the new cat tree. The new tree, however, has not yet been assembled, so he was just holding down the box. The rickety cat tree from the catio went to the curb. In less than half an hour, someone stopped and picked it up.

Ginger tabby in a springtime art creation and a yellow flowered frame.

I thinkered way too much with today’s art, as I just couldn’t get what I wanted. I began with the “Retro Comic” effect from Painnt. To that I added the “Cracks” filter from piZap at about 65 percent followed by the “Acid” filter at about 45 percent. The flowery frame is from the favpng app.

I did crop the art to create a puzzle. Hope you enjoy completing it should you choose to do so.

Sunday Selfies

Your host for tomorrow’s blog hop has already snapped his selfie. He was awakened from a nap to do it, so he wasn’t too happy about it. He does know this has happened to almost all of you at one time, so he has agreed not to complain.

As tomorrow is Easter, I will do something appropriate to fancy up the photo a bit. Please do the same if you feel so inclined.

Thanks for joining us today. We really hope to see your smiling faces right here on the hop tomorrow or anytime through Thursday.

SPRINGTIME KITTEN ART

Caturday Art

In this week’s art, Tali and Gibbs are enjoying the same catio cat tree Cooper Murphy and Raleigh were in on yesterday’s post. They are still small enough to share the upper part.

Two kittens in a colorful "artified" photo framed with springtime flowers.

To create this colorful art, I used the Natural Heart effect from Painnt and changed the hue slightly. To that I added the Abstract filter from piZap at 100 percent. The springtime flower frame is from the favpng app.

I trimmed the original art in order to create a jigsaw for all the puzzle fans. Hope you enjoy it!

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Can you believe that tomorrow is already the last Sunday in March … that’s one quarter of the year almost now in the past. I find it totally unbelievable. Nonetheless, it’s time to once again snap a selfie and hop with us. I don’t know which of the Kitties Blue will be hosting, but whichever one it is s/he will be waiting for you. So, get those photos taken. Then, you can enjoy a restful and easy Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow or anytime before 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday.

Thank you so much for stopping in to visit today. We are supposed to have a cool, rainy day, so I will try to catch up on some commenting.
