Early Morning Sunday Selfie

This was taken two days ago while it was dawning outside. It was very hot.

Today it seems cooler but we've still not had any rain, which is very unusual for England. Some parts of the UK have had rain but we live in the East of England which is officially experiencing drought.

Out of boredom Mum went to Grok with this older photo of ours from 2015. Her prompt was to create a photo of us both living in a castle surrounded by forest. For some reason Mum is wearing a curtain on her shoulder. Or it looks like she is. Perhaps it's meant to be a robe.

If you also notice, my body fur markings are not mine. My markings are classic tabby but these are mackerel.

Mum then added more details "add lot of cats playing happily outside." I asked her why I wasn't enough and she added "I want to live in a kingdom of just cats and no humans. But of course we shall rule together, sweetie".

So, welcome to our kingdom of cats.

Christmas Sunday Selfie 🎄🎅

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas if you celebrate and Happy Holidays!

Happy Birthday in Heaven Granddad. Today would have been Granddad Jim's 85th birthday. Here is a pic of him with Mum as a cute baby made into a video with Grok.

Sunday Selfies Polaroid Style

We really like the BeFunky Instant Polaroid frames, and as we haven't used them for a while, we thought they would suit these two photos.

However, it was almost dark when we took these so they are not the best quality but they do make good selfies anyway.

This Grok Imagine video below is made from an older selfie of us. Grok Imagine has brought it to life in video form.

Caturday Art and Remembrance Day

Lounging around...

Photo art created using BeFunky

Tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday. We remember the Armed Forces from Britain and the Commonwealth, and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

The following two AI images were made with Grok Imagine. Text prompt was "tabby cat with Remembrance Day poppy" and "animals in war Remembrance Day purple poppy".

The red poppy is worn as a show of support for those who served and those who lost their lives in war.

The purple poppy has long been a symbol of remembrance for animals lost in service but until recently was much less well known than the traditional red poppy.

We remember those who fought for freedom and our country.

Animals also served.

It's Christmas Time #SundaySelfie

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

🎄

Last Caturday we mentioned AI generator Grok that X users can access for free. We tried it again and asked "Draw me" on my own X profile, not Mum's.

As my X profile pic is this cartoon version of me...

Grok came up with these:

Our Christmas Card #CaturdayArt

Here is our Christmas card to you all. Feel free to download and share on your blogs if you wish!

We also wanted to share these Grok AI images Mum created. Grok AI chatbot and new image generator is now free to use for all X users. Mum says it's fun and very easy to use.

For each image below, Mum's text prompts were variations on these words...

Create a picture of Athena Cat Goddess, cat goddess, Athena Cat Goddess in ancient Greece, green-eyed tabby cat goddess, etc.

I must admit, this first one definitely has my face and eyes.
