Bright Green Eyes #CaturdayArt

Happy Caturday!

We've been so busy this week so we haven't been able to visit many of your blogs. Mum says she is hoping to catch up with you over the weekend.

She had the time to quickly create this artwork of me, using a cartoon filter in the paid version of BeFunky (not affiliated) and on the second photo she used free online editor Pixlr for the painterly frame effect.

May the Fourth Be With You #caturdayart

Happy Caturday!

It's May 4th so that means it's May the Fourth Be With You day in honour of Star Wars.

Mum helped me create this space art with PizAp. Don't I look very wise, like Yoda? You can see me as Yoda in this post from a few years back!

Sadly, while Mum was preparing this post, she heard that Peter Mayhew, the actor who played the legendary and lovable "hairy carpet" Chewbacca, had passed away on April 30th.

"We are deeply saddened today by the news of Peter Mayhew’s passing. Since 1976, Peter’s iconic portrayal of the loyal, lovable Chewbacca has been absolutely integral to the character’s success, and to the Star Wars saga itself."-Kathleen Kennedy.

Sharing Mum's tweet response because this is a cool GIF of Chewbacca and Leia. Hope Peter and Carrie are having a laugh on the other side together now. May the Force Be With You both.

So sad to hear of the passing of #PeterMayhew #RIPChewie pic.twitter.com/t3HsnWDjrO

Caturday Art Blog Hop

Are Cats Introverts? #caturdayart

Are Cats Introverts?

As this week (18 -24 March) is Introverts Week I asked Mum to blog about whether cats are introvert or not.

I'm in two minds about it but Mum thinks cats are indeed very introverted. For example, she says cats are more introverted than dogs. And yes, compared to those woof woofs, we cats are more introverted. Extroverts are loud. And most dogs are too. Cats are quiet and masters of mindfulness. Cats would rather sit and observe. Mum is a lot like a cat in that respect (not the masters of mindfulness part).

As an introvert, Mum believes that's one reason why she gets on with the feline species so well. Mum could have been a cat (though I don't think she'd love the hunting for prey or eating meat part).

As for me, I am mostly introvert but I'm a little more extrovert than Mum. Though Mum can be a little extroverted too when it comes to expressing herself through music and singing. 

Below are 5 reasons why cats are introverts. We're sure there are others but time was limited and Mum could only quickly come up with these. If you can add to the list please do so in the comments.

5 Reasons why cats are introverts

1. Cats enjoy their own company and keep themselves to themselves. This is also my introvert Mum without a doubt. 

2. Cats only need affection on their terms and will come to you when they want. They will give affection when it feels right. I'd say most introverts are like that too and I know Mum is.

3. If things overwhelm cats they need to find a quick hideaway. Sensory overload is all too real for us and so is the need to recharge. Mum does this a lot. As a highly sensitive person, she gets the sensory overload loads. 

4. Cosy duvet days and naps are a must. Self-care is so important and cats know how to do this so well. Introverted humans should take note and if you can, take a nap. You will feel better, I promise.

5. Cats can read your thoughts. I can tell exactly what you're thinking. Can Mum? Yes, she is quite intuitive. Like a cat she silently observes and like a cat, she is quite good at reading body language. Of course, cats don't talk (not verbally) and Mum isn't much of a talker. Maybe that's why she's a writer?

So I want to put this over to you - are my feline friends and followers introverts? Are your humans?

CATURDAY ART

Here's my art for today. The deep thoughtful gaze of an introvert with her rich inner world. Mum used the MySketch app on her phone.

Astronomy Day #CaturdayArt

Happy Caturday!

As it's Astronomy Day we've gone all "Starry Night" with this Van Gogh Art effect from LunaPic.

Some News

The next few Caturday Art Blog Hops will be a quick affair for us as Mum is busy with our house move. She's currently hard at work scheduling posts for the next few weeks until the property sale and purchase is finalised. As anyone who's moved home knows, it can be torture and at times you may feel like you are losing it. Selling houses and buying another, is one of the most stressful experiences in life that will make even the calmest most easy-going person want to bang their head against the wall and pull their hair out! (Not that Mum does this, but I can tell she wants to.)

And for Mum, who is already an anxious, highly-sensitive soul and who suffers from depression, it's a nightmare. My poor Mum! There is so much she has to do but she doesn't want to let our blog suffer so she will be scheduling posts in advance but apologies for not being able to visit and comment on your blogs.

We've had so many setbacks during this move, and now the exchange and completion stage is the final hurdle and this is what's happening now for us. If all goes well, we shall be at our new property in about 3 weeks' time. Mum will be documenting the move and will try to update on our social media whenever she can. As for keeping up with you all on this blog, we hope we can get our internet connection at the new place sorted out quickly!

Simply edit photos of your pets using one of the many free photo editors available online - or any editing program you like. Enjoy creating and sharing your digital animal art in this fun blog hop. Or if you are an artist, show us your pet art! But not on the actual animal, thanks. That is not art and it's cruel!
