PAINTING THE SEASONS ART & A CAT LAUGH

Caturday Art

 

White and calico kitten with head and leg dangling in an art effect, "Painting the Seasons."

 

Tali’s favorite sleeping position is with her head hanging down. Usually, she’s at the top of one of the cat trees. This time she was on one of the catio perches. She also added a dangle to her nap.

To create the art this week, I used the “Painting the Seasons” effect from Painnt. I made no changes to the settings, as I liked the original  colors and the texture. Tali looks as if she might be trying her paw at a little painting. The frame is from the favpng app.

Tali does have a jigsaw for all the puzzle fans.

Cat Laugh

Yesterday, I promised to share a joke from Dad Tom. I told him Gibbs and Tali were not operating with a full deck. Here’s his reply. “Yes they are. It is just a cat deck, and it only has two cards … Jokers!” MOL. Hope it gave you a giggle.

Sunday Selfies Tomorrow

We’ll be right here again tomorrow with our selfies hop, and we certainly hope you will join us. As your host has not been selected, we hope you will come by and see which of the Kitties Blue it is, even if you don’t hop along.

Thanks for visiting today. Have a furabulous Caturday!

ART & NATIONAL WHITE CAT DAY

Caturday Art

I have a goofy photo of Kizmet for today’s art

 

Grey cat with one airplane ear and giving the stink eye while trying to fit her fanny in a small box. She is displayed as art created with the Painnt app.

 

She was trying to stuff her fanny into an Amazon box amongst a pile of stuff on the kitchen island. When Dad Tom took her photo, she was not too pleased about it. That ear and the stink eye are a pretty good indication of her mood.

The effect is from the Painnt app and entitled, “Watercolourist 🌸🖌️.” I tinkered with some of the basic settings but only slightly. The frame is from the favpng app. Yes, I continue to use these two apps for my art. As I have a subscription to each and so many options are available, I rarely feel the need to use anything else.

Kizmet does have a jigsaw for those, like myself, who enjoy a puzzle.

National White Cat Day

We do not currently have a white cat; though, Tali comes close. We did, however, have one in the past. His name was Madison. He was a stray who came to the house and refused to leave. After six months, I finally gave up and invited him inside. Madison lived with us from April, 1999 to January 18, 2011. He was one of the best cats. Here is our handsome blue-eyed boy.

 

Blue-eyed white cat sitting on a porch railing.

 

According to a report by Cornell University, 65 to 85 percent of white cats with blue eyes are deaf. Madison, Dad Tom and I were fortunate that Madison was not.

You can find out more about National White Cat Day here.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

It seems impossible that it is already September. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are just the blink of an eye away. I cannot say I am disappointed that summer is coming to an end. We have been having daily high temps in the upper 90s. Even the cats are staying inside, and you know how much they love their catio.

Anyhoo, all that is just to say, tomorrow is the first Sunday in September and time again for selfies. The Kitties Blue gang will be looking for you to join whichever one of them ends up being your host. All your other friends will be looking forward to seeing you as well.

We do realize this is another holiday weekend and your humans may have other plans. But, you need not worry. As you all know by now, the hop remains open through Thursday. Hope to see you whenever it is convenient for you.

Thanks for joining us today. Have an exceptional Caturday … hopefully with some extra treats!

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 2026

Caturday Art

I missed Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day yesterday. With so many angels waiting there for Dad Tom and me, I could not let today pass without creating some art to honor and remember them. All the Kitties Blue angels are included as part of the graphic as well as Astrid’s husband Sampy, Mau’s wife Allie and Lisbeth’s boyfriend Charles.

Each of these kitties remain in our hearts and are loved beyond measure.

 

A Rainbow colored graphic of a cat for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day with all the names of Kitties Blue angels and their significant others.

 

I used piZap AI to create the majority of today’s art and then made some additions.

Deb Barnes from The Chronicles of Zee and Zoey created Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. It came from her desire to find the love, beauty and dignity in saying goodbye to Jazz, her Ragdoll cat, that she let go of on August 28, 2013. Each year we use this day to remember our beloved furry friends that have left us. Deb is hosting a blog hop, which you can find here.

 

We will be participating in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. To do the same, click on Athena’s badge.

Puzzle Time

I suspect that most of you will not be interested in completing a puzzle of today’s art. So I have created one using Cooper Murphy’s “shameless” photo from yesterday.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Wow, another week has zipped right on by, and it is time to begin thinking about taking your selfie and entering tomorrow’s blog hop. I do not have a clue as to which of the gang will be here as your host tomorrow, but, of course, that is nothing new. We do hope you will come by to find out as well as to link up your selfie. It’s always more fun with lots of friends joining in. If you cannot get by tomorrow, it is A-OK. The hop is always available through Thursday.

Many thanks for joining us today. Now go have an exceptional Caturday.

TALI BLUE IS BLUE

Caturday Art

 

Art of a bi-eyed, white and calico kitten (Tali) is shades of blue with a blue flowered frame.

 

I made several versions of today’s art and liked all of them. Rather than making a collage as I did the last time this happened, I am saving the others to share in the future.

Of course, I used Painnt to create this. The effect is Heart of Stone. I changed the hue and used the analog coloring. To that I added the Bokeh 4 filter from piZap at 79 percent. As always, the frame is from the favpng app.

And, of course, there is a puzzle, which I trimmed down to eliminate a wide white border around the flowers.

Please Join Us Tomorrow

We will be back tomorrow with our Sunday Selfies blog hop, and Kitties Blue and I will be looking for your selfie. You know it’s always more fun with lots of participants. You get to see oodles of cute animals all in one place and then visit them on their blogs.

This is one of those weeks when I have no idea which of the gang will be here as your host. If I had been thinking clearly, Tali’s photo for today would have made a purrfect selfie for tomorrow. I guess that means, whether you hop or not, you’ll need to stop in to see who volunteered or was coerced into hopping.

National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day

Can you imagine the chaos and caterwauling if everyone was actually able to do this today. We will be experiencing some of that the next two Mondays. As the dates for annual exams are now sort of spread all over the place, a round-up at home is not feasible. So, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy go this Monday and Lisbeth and Kizmet the following Monday. The pairings are purposeful, as C.J. does not like Lisbeth or Kizmet.

(Thank you to Barb Kowalik & the Cat Blogosphere for the badge.)

 

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a terrific Caturday.

BACK AGAIN!

Caturday Art

This is Raleigh’s third appearance in just four days. That’s a miracle! He really is not any more social than he has been in the past, but he does show himself more often. Yesterday, he was watching the birds on the feeder outside the bedroom window when I spotted him. I called his name, and he turned around briefly. If I do not get too close to him, I can snap a photo or two, and I am taking every opportunity to do just that.

 

A Peach tabby cat is back again for the third time in four days in some Caturday Art.

 

To turn Raleigh into a piece of art, I used the Sand Dollars effect with vivid coloring from Painnt. To that I added the Crazy Colors XOXO filter at 90 percent from piZap. If you look very closely, you will see the outline of some hearts above and to the left of Raleigh. The frame is from the favpng app.

I have created a jigsaw puzzle from the art.

Sunday Selfies Tomorrow

The days and weeks keep zipping on by. The kids here have been back in school for more than a week. When I was a youngster, summer vacation lasted until after Labor Day. Anyhoo, it is Sunday again tomorrow, which means it will be time to post a selfie and hop. I have no idea which of the Kitties Blue will be your host, but I know it will not be Raleigh!

As always, we do hope you will join in the fun tomorrow or some time before midnight Thursday.

Kitties Blue and I thank you for dropping in for a visit today.

AUDREY’S FLOWERY ART

Caturday Art

Lovely and sweet Audrey is here today as the subject of Caturday Art.

 

Tabby cat art with flowery effect, filter and frame.

 

To create the art I used the Silver Begonia effect from Painnt. I changed the hue slightly and added summer coloring. To that I added the Flower Power filter from piZap at 100 percent. It seemed appropriate as the effect also is a flower. The frame, which I have used previously, is possibly a bit large for the art, but the colors accompanied Audrey’s art beautifully. It is from the favpng app.

She does have a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans.

News Flash!

Your host for tomorrow’s hop has already been selected and snapped her selfie. Of course, I am not revealing which of our female felines did that. You will have to stop in tomorrow to find out. And when you do, she and all the other Kitties Blue hope you will share a selfie and hop with us. It’s always more fun when lots of friends join in.

Until then … we wish you a treat- and cuddle-filled Caturday.

TALI & TOE BEANS X 4

Caturday Art

Tali and her toe beans (four times) are here today for art. She was napping in my lap when I snapped the photo.

 

An art collage of a white and calico kitten napping and showing off her toe beans for Caturday Art.

 

After creating the art for the photo with the “💧🎨 Ink” effect from Painnt, I put the photo in piZap and tried out some filters from that app. I liked each of them and couldn’t pick just one, so I put all four into a collage. Clockwise starting from the left upper corner the effects are: Galaxy at 90 percent, Metallic at 54 percent, Scrap Z at 72 percent and Parchment at 85 percent.

Friendly Fill-Ins

I didn’t complete the fill-ins yesterday, as I posted a review for the Rywell Cooling Mat. If you missed it, I think you might want to check it out. It really is a great product. The link is at the bottom of this post.

Anyhoo …

The Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop is hosted each Friday by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). They publish the fill-in sentences on their blogs each Thursday. To participate in the hop, click on the badge at the left.

I was fortunate to get some help from both Stinky and Calista Jo this week. We all used teal italics for our completions. Any explanatory information is in parentheses.

1. Stinky: My plans for August include planning and enjoying Adventures with Periwinkle.

2. I am a type INFJ personality. (This is one of and the most rare of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types. The acronym stands for Introversion, Intuition, Feeling and Judging. A person who is an INFJ is often called the “Advocate” or “Counselor,” and is known for being deeply empathetic, idealistic and quiet.)

3. If cat litter were a currency, (Dad Tom and) I would be rich. (I had to add Dad Tom to this fill-in, as he is the official scooper at our house. We have nine litter boxes.)

4. Calista Jo: I can do a good impersonation of a banshee.

Sunday Selfies Again Tomorrow

That’s right, we will be right here to meet you for our Sunday Selfies blog hop. I have a choice of hosts to select from, which is totally unusual. As I haven’t decided which of the Kitties Blue to select, you definitely will need to join us. And when you are here, we really hope you will link up a selfie and hop.

Thanks for visiting us today. We always are grateful when you stop in.

Have a terrific Caturday.

THE MANY COLORS OF TALI

Caturday Art

 

Bi-eyed, white and calico kitten in an art rendering in many colors along with a. colorful and sparkly frame.

 

To create today’s art I used Tali’s “Growing Up Selfie” from week #621 on July 12 of our Sunday Selfies blog hop. To turn it into this colorful image, I used the Watercolor Dream effect from Painnt. In that app, I added Multiply from Color and Lomo from Coloring. The frame, as usual is from favpng.

Here’s a puzzle for all our jigsaw fans, and it is not as hard as it appears.

ORANGE DELIGHT

Caturday Art

Calista Jo is the subject of today’s art. Her orange eyes are possibly a bit scary, but when I tried other colors, she looked sort of creepy. She hopes you do enjoy her art.
