CATURDAY ART ~ GRAND GIRL IN THE GRAND HAT

Heading in a different direction for our Art Gallery today, we had this past picture of grand girl,
likely from more than ten years ago (she is now a med school student).

But way back when, she'd plopped her Mom's summer hat on her head and I was

snapping photos of her pretty face, playfully "flirting" with grandma!

Top photo ~ the original, a straw hot pink hat.

Middle photo ~ also an original.  But the hat has now been recolored to

a rich purple, and her image was outlined.  The purple straw was

duplicated to become the background and my grand girl superimposed on the background. 

Bottom photo ~ replay of the top photo in hot pink and purple, using a lot of

different photoshop "art" tools for a cartoon/painted effect and adding

clip art flowers.

All in all ~ kids can be as playful as kits!

Note from June ~ "mine Mommy thinks all her techy issues are worked out

now, the innernets, the cell phone, the cable stuff, most of which I could

care less about ... 'cept it has purr-vented me from going here-to-there for

many days now to visit my friends bloggies (so sorry) cause she's spent

most her time on all that stuff (MEOWZ), but I-she-we hopes all's good to go now, see you soon ..."

FELINE FRIDAY ~ WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO?

 

WORDLESS ~ Like Really Wordless!

Actually, it is mine Mommy who is either partly or totally "wordless" as she's been

messing with her cell phone, her internets and her cable ~ 

and the "peeples" who provide those services for a couple-a days now.

So!  Sometimes they work a little bit, so she shares words.

But lots of the time, they haven't been working (DRATS CATS) 

so she's been wordless a bunch of the time.

 

[UN]HAPPY TUESDAY

All day yesterday, I sat here, with my toys, playing, all alone.  Singing that song, "all by myself".  From time to time, I meowed and pleaded with mine Mommy ~ I so want a play date, please, purrr please.  She was unmoved, unrelenting, inattentive to my pleas, my words, even to my actions when I reached out, claws extended and managed a good scratch on her leg as she passed by!  Oh yes, I heard that "ooowie, June" and saw her applying a band-aid, but it was deserved!  

You know, I even tried the infamous "SMUDGE Annoying Look" (which I've been practicing), but even though she is quite fond of Smudge, she was not moved at all by "the S.A. Look".  Well, maybe I've not perfected it yet.  

And guess what, I even scattered all the toys out of my toy box.  Did that bother her?  No.  I finally tried the ultimate sign of my displeasure, yes, kitties, the final resort.  One we kitties should only use in the most extreme of circumstances, when we really really need to get our point across.  I did it.  I kicked a pooper (and it was a biggie, I was very proud of it) out of the litter-loo box.  Right where she HAD to see it!  HAD to step over it to use her own litter-loo box!  Ha, I said to myself, that will do it, now she'll know I mean business.

But alas.  She merely grabbed a stinky Lysol wipe and away it went, you know where.  Another few of those wipes on the floor, "easy-peasy" I heard her say, and that was that.  A rather muffled "oh, juney" escaped her lips and she went on to other stuff.  I was deflated.  Truly at a loss as to what to do, how to change her mind.  In a muffled voice again, I think I heard, "not gonna happen".  Sigh.

 🐾 I do so want a play date 🐾

AWWW JUNE

AWWW MONDAY

 

EASY (SUNDAY) DOES IT

 

PICK-A-PIC by JUNE

Mine Mommy didn't get 'round to doing her usual Caturday Art for this week, and I hadn't done a "pick-a-pic" in a really long time, so she said "okay, you can take over, paw through your files and choose a few".  

Now, I'm not old as dirt like she is, (hey, don't swat me, Mom), so anyway, I'm hoping you haven't seen these before, cause even I forget what's posted, but even if you have, they're some of my favorites, so here we goes ... with just a little bit of 'splaining.  OK?  OK!  Meow!

Oh, I 'member how excited I got on this day, when she did majorly major cleaning

and found every spring toy I ever had from under chairs, tables, in closets, behind the fridge!

What a collection!  Now I could hide (or lose!) 'em all over again!

But then she had to go and twist one spring around

this old ropey thing, boyohboy did I struggle to get it free ...

look at that top picture again ... see that empty space?

That's where it was s'pposed to be!!!

Hiding.  In the closet.  This is my go-to-closet.

  For when the big thunders come.  

Mine Mommy always keeps the door open an inch or so,

I can put my paw in and all by myself I can open it the rest of the way

and hide in the corner.  We have four walk-in closets and I go in all

of them, but this one is the best cause no light comes on!  And

she doesn't put other stuffs in there so there's always room for me.

It's dark and quiet, and no ~ the shoes don't smell!

Mommy is not too happy 'bout this.  Why?  She's had this very same

Daytimer for 58 years!  Seriously.  

Yeah, there's a calendar, address book, phone numbers, all that stuff,

 on the cell phone, and the 'puter, and the refrigerator ... but this one is special to her.  

Like it means a lot.

I'm just checking to see what's going on today

and of course hear ... "Juney, be careful now ..."

Honestly, I think if the house were afire, she'd grab this before she grabbed me! 

This?  Just because I wanted to share one sort of normal, pretty picture of me!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Meow!  I hope you liked all my pick-a-pics.

I just realized how tiring it is to put together a blog ...

to find pictures,

to write words ...

so, please excuse me if I now go take a little nap.

Happy Caturday Saturday
