Caturday Art Blog Hop
Living in a house that is over one hundred years’ old does not provide us with many sunpuddles. Most sunpuddles occur in the kitchen where the humans had large windows installed when they renovated. With a southern exposure and autumn stripping the leaves from nearby trees, the sunpuddles can be plentiful on a clear day.
While my housemates are outside on the front porch or watching the birds and squirrels from the Catio, I have all the sunpuddles to myself.
After a busy afternoon of performing my duty as self-appointed fly catcher, I sprawled out and luxuriated in this sunpuddle before settling in for a snooze.
As I am a stunning tortie girl and the shadows in the original photo are already blotting out some of my fabulous furs and one eye, I didn’t allow Mom to fuss and fiddle too much. Those of you who regularly follow us know that Mom will continue to tinker and manipulate our Caturday Art photos until she’s used nearly every photo program and filter available. I demanded that she stick with our usual photo editing program, Picasa, and only allowed her to “warmify” my photo and add the “pixelate” filter (with large rectangles so as not to obliterate my loveliness) and the frame.
I am dedicating this Saturday Sunpuddle Caturday Art to my sweet Sampy at Kitty Cat Chronicles and sending him a proliferation of kisses.

Wow, that’s a great picture of you, Astrid. Good thing you put your paw down and made your mom stop fiddling with it.
You mom did a good job restraining herself creating your art today. I’m sure you had to smack her paws away from the keyboard a few times. Enjoy your Caturday sunpuddle.
Astrid! Wow that is one gorgeous picture of yous! And those sun puddles looks marvelous too!
