AN "EXTRA" SPECIAL THANKFUL THURSDAY

Mine Mommy was having a little talk with me, she was telling me that today is a special Thursday, a special Thankful Thursday.  It's like a whole "extra day" we all get and we don't get another one like this until the year 2028 and then another in the year 2032!  

Even though I'm still in kittengarten I can do a little bit of math.  So I will be 4-years old at the end of March and that means on the next "extra-day-year" I'll be eight-years old and on the one after that I'll be an almost teenager at twelve-years-old!  

But I'd better not do the math and tell you how old mine Mommy will be or I might get relegated to the sit-in-the-corner-chair and have a time-out!  Oh noes.

Anywayz.  I think we should be thankful to have a "extra day" in our life and do something special with it.  I'm going to sit here awhile and think about what I can do special.  Maybe my LOVE PAWS pillow will give me some good ideas ~ like being extra lovey today.  It's always good to be lovey, even on regular days, right, but specially on "extra days", so don't waste yours!  Be thankful, do something special, maybe like being extra lovey.

Some purrson knocked on our door.  

I be safe here now while you opens it.
OK.

But sweetie, you're always safe here.

Meow.  I know.  But best to hide just the same.

AWWW MONDAY

A SUNDAY SELFIE ~ REALLY?

I think, fur real, I should have been holding the camera.  Yes. 
I should have been the one taking a selfie of her, that rather strange woman (sometimes called mine Mommy) 
who stuck her head (her body wouldn't fit) into my rounder to take this so-called selfie of me.  
What she won't do for a picture ... sigh.

By the way, the Kitties Blue gots lots of cool art today for you to use 

for next weeks special Blog Hop ~ don't furget to stop by for some.

THE TOY BOX, REVISITED

If'n you happened to see me on Tuesday, you saw that I cleaned out my toy box.
As it was empty, it seemed appropriate for me to be in it.  And you know kitties do love to get into whatever they can get into.
It did not turn out all that well though.  Apparently it holds toys better than it holds kitties.  Sigh.

PS ~ mine Mommy says I should tell you this is really a old flashback post, if'n that matters.

MY SUNDAY SELFIE

Curling up in my blankie basket on these chilly mornings 
is just about perfect.  Of course I always have a few mousie friends 
with me, though most are tucked in under my polka dot "ellen blankie".

Now, to tuck me in ~

CATURDAY ART MONTAGE

Today's art is on focus and lighting.  I find it hard on occasion to tell if an image is truly well focused and sharp, both in foreground and background.  It may appear so "on camera", yet be considerably different once transferred to my computer and into Photoshop.  Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised, sometimes not.  The same holds true for lighting as all of June's photos are shot indoors, impacted completely by day vs night, the amount of sunlight vs shadow and/or any natural lighting in the room.  All these factors can distort her fur colors and any color values around her.  The major thing I'm so thankful for is the fast-action of our newer cell phone cameras so that red-eye or blank-eye is automatically eliminated, yet even so, available lighting will show June's eyes as golden or green at any given time ~ good, because they actually are.  Back to focus now: this photo did have sharp focus, good lighting. I could zoom in, crop to tight portions of the image and it remained sharp and clear.  And that's all one could want!  No fuss, no muss, nothing else needed to pull together a little montage and lay into a muted same image background. 

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 ~ so thankful for those times I can just hang around ~

you know, like when Mine Mommy is busy with other stuffs

and doesn't bother me, meow!

LOVE💖

 

HAPPY TUESDAY

"you better not laugh at me or I'll never post another picture

SELFIE and SELFIE on this SUPER SUNDAY

Oh My Crazy Cat ~ What are you doing and where are you off to in such a mad dash?

I'm staking out my spot in my chair for the Kitten Bowl, the Puppy Bowl and The Game!

Our Chair!  We'll share, two big b..tts, room for both, right?

NOT!

Well, before we go, gotta give a wave, a paws up and a go-get-em-good to our

long time KS friends -- Lightning, Misty and Timber -- THE OP PACK,

GO CHIEFS

 

CATURDAY ART ~ WAKE UP

 

Our art today was not focused on the image, but rather on the background.  First we searched for two photos that complemented one another, or told a short story.  

June, napping on the table top, woke when I called her name.  She gave me a slightly "okay" yet really "not okay" glance.  

Using these two pictures, the background was just a failed effort to replicate the placemat, getting two of the colors but not the ribbed woven pattern.  Sometimes you get where you want to be, sometimes you don't.  

That's part of the fun of art, experimenting!  And not knowing where you'll end up!

FELINE FRIDAY (the rest of the story)

Sometimes staring works.

Sometimes the stare down doesn't work.

Case in point ~ yesterday.

I was telling you yesterday how I was doing the "stare down", laying on the table, doing my best to intimidate her, to get her out of my chair so's I could do my thing.  But no, her you-know-what was firmly planted there, to stay, and stay she did.

Eventually, I moved forward to Plan B (we kitties always think ahead), took a flying leap, landing on the arm of my chair.  So intent on her news I wondered if she even knew I was there!  Plan B (1), my paw paws at her shoulder, the meowing begins.  And all I get is "not now Juney".  

What happens next?  OMC.  I am inches away, furriends and she takes that thing from besides her (it's always besides her, you know) and snap/click . . . well . . .

She says "cute, OMC, you are so so cute, now let me watch the news ..."

. . . later she did show me the picture, OMC, I am cute

I must admit, and yes, I am blushing as I say that !!!

JUNE COMMENTS about being "thankful" ~

 

June, why are you on the table, staring at me . . . ?

'Cause you're occupying my chair.

Really now, it is actually our chair, not your chair, 

and I'm just watching the evening news whether you like it or not.

I do not like it.  It is my chair.  And I'll stare at you as long as I like.  So there.

Well, stare away, it won't make me get out of our chair any sooner . . .

JUNE COMMENTS:  it is 4:45 pm, any day, and I have finished a delightful supper of Sheba Cuts ~ Chicken, a favorite, and am ready to curl up in my polka dot chair, do a little wash-up and have a pre-bedtime nap.  My "mine Mommy" is not cooperating.  I know she's a news-junkie/pawlitical animal and all that but seriously I also think she's secretly in love with Jake Tapper @ CNN, oh dear, what's a kitty to do?  Newsschmoooz.  Anyone wanna guess when commenting what time I get my chair back?  5:00 pm?  6:00 pm?  That's when I'll be thankful! Until then, I will stare.  I can out stare her anytime.

WORDY on WEDNESDAY

So, you like your cat tree I see.
