Caturday Art Blog Hop

PUSSES IN PURPLE

Caturday Art

I really hope you are not tired of seeing kittens, as all but Tali and Gibbs will be with us for only a few more days. The puss in the front was in my lap and the one behind sitting on my legs.

To create today’s art, I used the Carrots effect from Painnt and tinkered with the basic settings, such as saturation, hue and transparency. To that I added the Abstract filter from piZap at 70 percent. The frame is from the favpng app.

I have trimmed the art down, as I often do, to remove the extra white space from the puzzle. Enjoy!

Sunday Selfies

Tomorrow is the first Sunday Selfies of 2026, and you definitely do not want to miss out on that. Your host has already snapped her selfie, but that is the most I am going to tell you. Whether you decide to hop or not, you will need to stop by to see who it is. And all the Kitties Blue definitely hope you will stop and also hop. Looking forward to seeing all your adorable faces.

Thanks for coming by today. We definitely appreciate you for visiting.

 

KITTENS ON THE LOOSE

Caturday Art

I have kittens (Gibbs and Tali) as the subject of today’s art.  They were in the bedroom cat tree. That is Gibbs in front and Tali in the back. They and the other four kittens are given separate playtimes outside their enclosures at least a couple times everyday. It’s the only way to wear them out sufficiently. I would love to let Gibbs and Tali have their freedom, but we have no way to close off access to the second floor, and there are way too many small spaces where a kitten could hide.

I created the art using the Shattered effect from Painnt and then changed the hue and added vivid coloring to the effect. The frame is from the favpng app as is the flower, which I added.

Of course, I had to make a puzzle, for those of you who enjoy them as much as I do. Puzzling of any sort is one of the three things I enjoy doing for relaxation. The others are reading and coloring.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Tomorrow is the last Sunday of 2025. Can you believe it? I sure can’t! As we age, it feels as if the days, months and years zip by faster and faster. I truly wish there was a way to slow down the passing of time. As a champion procrastinator, I have wasted so much time that I will never get back. I am sad about that, but I am too old to change now.

Anyhoo, Kitties Blue and I hope you will take the opportunity to join us on our last hop of the year. As always, you have through Thursday (the first day of 2026) to participate. So, if you don’t post on Sunday, it’s no big deal. You can link up when it’s convenient. We love seeing your adorable faces each week, so please try to join us.

Now, go play with whatever new toys you got from Santa or have a nap. That’s what we kitties and humans here will be doing. Once again, the kittens have worn out us old folks.

Thanks for popping by today. Hope to see you again tomorrow.

 

PSYCHEDELIC GIBBS ART

Caturday Art

 

Psychedelic art of a black and white cat.

 

Gibbs and Tali and the two little ginger kitties, which should be with their new mom in just a couple more days, have been having play time in the big bathroom. During one of those sessions, Dad Tom snapped this photo of Gibbs. What he is looking at is a stuffed hedgehog cat toy.

To turn Gibbs into art, I used the LSD effect from Painnt. To that I added the Flower Power filter from piZap at 100 percent. If, like me, you were in your teens in the 1960s, you know that LSD, flower power and psychedelia with its kaleidoscopic colors were all tied together. Finally, the frame is another from the favpng app.

Gibbs does have a puzzle for you who are fans of jigsaws.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Wow, only a couple more Sundays before we start a new year of selfies. We have been doing this now for more than 11 years, which I find rather mind boggling. I cannot think of anything I have done for more years than this blog and selfies, other than going to school, being a USA Volleyball National and International Scorekeeper and being married. I don’t think our Sunday Selfies will top any of those, but it is still a rather impressive record. And that is all because of YOU! Your dedication and willingness to participate have kept it alive all this time. So, thank you!

With all that said, Kitties Blue and I hope you’ll be back tomorrow and join us for week #591 of selfies. You’ll have the opportunity to see just how much one of the now not-so-tiny terrorists has changed since arriving here two months ago. Until then …

Thanks for stopping by to see us today. Have a meowvolous Caturday.

 

 

KITTENS, ART & WINTER

Kitten News

So, I found out on Thursday that the four kittens Barn Cat Buddies will be taking for adoption will be returning to us after their vaccines and surgeries. They will remain here until sometime in January. Many cats and kittens are already awaiting placement at the adoption center, so the kittens will be biding their time here until their turn comes. I love them all and do not want to see them go, but this is a month longer with us than we had anticipated.

Caturday Art

Lisbeth kindly allowed be to photograph her for today’s art. She was toasting herself on the radiator next to the Christmas Tree in the foyer. This is a favorite spot of hers when winter roles around, and it has arrived. (I will share of photo of that later in this post.)

To create Lisbeth’s wintery art I used the Iced effect from Painnt and added warm coloring. To that I added the Galaxy filter from piZap at 40 percent. The frame is from the favpng app.

Here’s a trimmed down version of the art as a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans.

I am sharing the original photo as well just because I really like it.

An Early Taste of Winter

 

A winter scene of snow-covered trees and a pergola.

 

This was the view from our kitchen window when we woke up yesterday. As the temperature did not rise above 33 degrees F, this was still the view at 10 p.m. It probably looks exactly the same as you are reading this. The overnight temperature was predicted to be in the 20s. This is about three inches of very heavy, wet snow.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Not too many Sundays remain in 2025, so please don’t miss the opportunity to participate in week #590 of our blog hop. We’ll go live at midnight EST, but you have through the end of the day Thursday to join us. We always love seeing your happy and adorable faces, so Kitties Blue and I will hope to see you there.

Thanks for dropping by today. Have an exceptional Caturday!

 

SPARKLY CAT CALISTA JO

Caturday Art

If this photo had not been over-lit and a tad blurry, it would have been a great option for tomorrow’s selfie. As it was not good enough for tomorrow’s hop, I decided to use it for today’s art.

 

An artified photo of a dilute tortoise shell cat in a sparkly frame with gold and silver stars and snowflakes and an aqua and purple border.

To create Calista Jo’s art I used the Purple Rose Gold effect with vivid coloring from Painnt,  The frame, as always, is from the favpng app.

I did make a jigsaw for all our puzzle fans, but I trimmed the above down to remove most of the white space. Hope you enjoy completing it.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

It’s that time again to spruce yourself up, snap a selfie and join tomorrow’s blog hop. I cannot believe that we are closing in on the end of another year. Just a few more Sundays left in 2025. I know all of your humans will get busier and busier as the holidays approach, but Kitties Blue really hope you will still find the time to hop with us.

Thanks for dropping by today. We will be looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Wishing you all a purrfect Caturday.

 

CAT’S EYE ART

Caturday Art

I did not have any photos I could use to create art for today. Kizmet was sitting in my lap, so I snapped a few photos. They were all in profile and very close up.

 

Profile of a cat with her eye the prominent feature in the photo, which has been turned into colorful art in a metallic frame with hearts.

 

I actually think this turned out pretty well as the effect made her eye the focal point and showed off her whiskers.

The effect is Oils 🖌️🎨 from Painnt. To it I added Summer Coloring. And, as always, the frame is from the favpng app.

I made a puzzle as well.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Well, it’s that time again. That’s right, tomorrow is selfie day and our weekly blog hop. Your host is as yet to be determined; though, it might be the cat that is currently napping on my lap for the second evening in a row. It’s not her usual habit, so I have been enjoying the attention.

Anyhoo, whichever of the gang is here as your host tomorrow, you know all the Kitties Blue and your other friends will be scouring the selfies looking for yours. We sure hope you won’t let them or us down. Until then … have a furabulous Caturday.

Thanks for stopping in to see us today.

 

PURPLE PRINCESS ART

Caturday Art

Kizmet spent quite a bit of Friday napping on my lap. I snapped a few rather poor photos of her in the hope of having something I could use to create art for today. Kizmet and I hope you like what I did.

 

A grey princess cat is turned blue and brown on a purple background and framed with large amethyst gems.

I used Painnt, like I usually do, for my art. This is the Fall Foliage effect. Obviously, I changed the hue as it originally reflected autumn colors. I also added warm coloring from the Painnt app. The amethyst gem frame is from favpng.

I did create a jigsaw for all the puzzle fans.

We have a surprise for everyone tomorrow. Your host will be a first time selfie participant and a darn cute one. This is a post you absolutely do not want to miss. Even if you are not a hopper, Kitties Blue suggest you stop by to see us and meet your host.

Until then we wish you a meowvolous and restful Caturday.

Kizmet and I thank you for joining us today.

 

 

RAINBOW KITTEN ART

Caturday Art

Hope you all are not tired of seeing kittens. Two are back today for Caturday Art.

 

TWO KITTENS IN AN ART RENDERING WITH RAINBOW COLORS AND A PAISLY-DESIGNED FRAME.

 

To create the art, I used the Comic Panel effect from Painnt and tinkered with a few of the basic settings. To that I added the Flux filter from PiZap at 100 percent. The frame, as usual, is from the favpng app.

And here’s a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans.

 Sunday Selfies Reminder

Unbelievably, it is the first Sunday in November. This year is speeding to a conclusion much too fast. No matter how quickly the weeks, months and years tick by, you can count on us to be here on Sundays for our selfie hop. And, of course, we hope you will join us. You don’t even need to post on Sundays to participate. The hope remains open through Thursday.

Your host for tomorrow currently remains a mystery. Nothing new with that! As always, we hope you stop in even if you do not plan to hop. And if you would like to invite some friends to join in the fun, that would be meowvolous.

Have a delightful Caturday! Thanks for visiting us today.

 

ENCHANTING KITTEN ART

Caturday Art

We sure hope you aren’t growing tired of seeing kittens, as they are with us for at least another seven to eight weeks. I would like to identify them by name, but we have not given them any. That may or may not happen while they are under our care. I can tell you that I call the kitten on the far right, as you look at the photo, grabby paws.

 

Four kittens in framed enchanting and bubbly art created using Painnt and piZap.

 

To create today’s art, I used the Enchanting effect from Painnt followed by the Bubbly filter from piZap and a frame from favpng.

And here’s a jigsaw for all you puzzle fans.

Yep, it’s that time again. Time to spruce up those furs, feathers, scales or whatever you are sporting  as an exterior cover-up. I am hoping to get one of the Kitties Blue to be your host for the hop. If they had idea we are harboring a garage full of interlopers, I am fairly certain the only thing I would get for asking any of them to host is a huge raspberry.

Anyhoo, whether it is a cat or a kitten here tomorrow, all of us will be looking for you. All your other friends will be doing the same. So please plan to join in the fun!

Thanks for stopping by to see us today. We appreciate everyone who reads, comments on our posts and supports our blogging efforts. Have a great Caturday.

 

CATURDAY KITTEN ART

Caturday Art

Today’s art features four of the kittens in a photo I shared here on Wednesday.

 

Four kittens in art created using the Escapism effect from Painnt and a flower frame from favpng.

 

I used the Escapism effect from Painnt. I bumped the saturation a tiny bit and added vivid coloring. The frame is from the favpng app.

I didn’t create a puzzle, as it would have too much white space around the frame. I did create a puzzle yesterday. If you would like to construct it, click on the link to yesterday’s post at the bottom of this one.

The kittens will participate in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. If you would like to do the same click. on Athena’s badge.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Oh boy, time for selfies again, and Kitties Blue are all delighted to be off the hook this week. We have a special guest selfie host tomorrow. And, no, it is not one of the kittens. of course, I have intention of giving you any additional hints. You’ll have to stop in to see just who it is. And, of course, we hope you will also post a selfie and then hop with us. You do not need to post tomorrow to join in the fun. The hop will remain open through Thursday.

Thanks for stopping in today. We do hope to see you again tomorrow.
