Caturday Art
Astrid is here today to join Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty on her blog hop. Astrid was tucked into Lisbeth’s fish bed, which she received from her boy friend, Cat Scout Charles. Both the girls use the bed; though, Astrid fits inside better.
To create the art, I used the Amsterdam filter in Painnt, followed by the ScrapZ texture and an opaque, black floral border from piZap.
Here’s the original photo with a tighter crop.

Astrid Update
Those of you who follow us regularly know that Astrid is a timid cat. This is the result of bullying by Misty May. Lately Misty May has been paying less and less attention to Astrid. My theory is that since Misty May can no longer hear Astrid squeal when she chases after her, she has lost interest.
As a result, Astrid is gaining back some of her mojo. She’s been joining us in bed in the morning and snuggling with me. She’ll also come upstairs in the afternoon when I try to take a break to do some reading. She curls into my lap and turns up her purr to high. She even has joined us a few times at night when Misty May is sleeping and not aware of her presence. This brings me so much joy as I know it does Astrid as well.
Sunday Selfies Reminder
As tomorrow is Cinco de Meow, I am certain whichever of the Kitties Blue ends up being your host for the blog hop, s/he will be doing a little celebrating for the holiday. You are invited to dress up in a costume (either in the fur or virtually) or just put a fancy frame around your photo. Of course, this is not a requirement to join the hop…just a suggestion. Whatever you decide, we look forward to seeing you on the hop.
Oooh, I love the art! Yay for Astrid!
Lovely art!
Beautiful art. I am glad Astrid is enjoying life more now. I wish Joanie could, everyone picks on her and makes her squeal too.
Really cool art today!
That artwork turned out great. You really can’t tell it’s a fish anymore. We’re glad to hear Astrid is joining the family more. We hope it continues.
Astrid, you are beautiful!
Really cool art ! We’re glad Astrid is feeling better. Purrs
Super nice artwork! We’re glad Astrid is gaining confidence. Sometimes things like Misty May losing hearing actually have some positive effects.

Love the good news. It’s always good when they get along. I so remember how wonderful it was to have them sleep with us at night. I miss that.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to all the precious kitties. ♥
That is lovely art. I am glad Astrid is getting braver and joining you on the bed.
Such pretty art and I am so glad that Astrid is mojoing better now!
Great art! We are sad that Misty May has lost her hearing but her loss has been Astrid’s gain in that she can come out of her shell from the bullying and be her “authentic self” – isn’t that wonderful that she has the freedom to do that. We hope Misty May and Astrid might even become pals – who knows – anything is possible!!!
Hugs, Teddy
