St. CATRICK’S SHOW 2023

Green Cat Contest Winners for St Catrick’s Day

 THE POPULAR “GREEN CAT CONTEST"

Well, our human has “slipped out of the house again and was seen VISITING OTHER CATS!

This time (and we think she went too far) she insisting on starting  a contest for GREEN CATS (the nerve) for St. Patrick’s Day on her Art site, Fine Art America.  Over 80 cats entered (WE didn’t, cuz we are not nor ever will be green) and or human was very excited when she announced the winning cats.  We agreed  -- for St. Catrick’s only - to let her feature these talented artists and their, er, cats...because they were VERY popular and got more votes than any of the other cats.  We have to admit they are pretty fan-cat-ic!

THE WINNERS OF THE GREEN CAT CONTEST

This gallery she did is called “colorful cats.”  Once in a while...you’ll even see US!

Well, we hope you’ll give us plenty of credit for sharing the spotlight today (which we you know we hate to do!). But these other talented artists and their cat creations do deserve kudos..and we’re not too snooty to admit it.  

But now we’re going to snatch our human back and imprison her in the house with us because she owes us alot of petting, brushing and tuna for being “unfaithful & for straying and admiring cats who are not US!  Right? Right?

We are joining Athena & Maries CATURDAY HOP today so you’ll have a chance to view the special “green cat winners” so timely for St. Catrick’s Day...a holiday we ALWAYS honor!

Celebrating "National Fairy Tail Day" - Little Red Peaching Hood

 

As you can see, I have quite a tale, er "tail" to tell.  It's National "Tell A Fairy Tale" Day only they should have entitled it correctly, as in my title!  Every cat likes to know their tail I noticed.

Well my story is this:  I was ALL dressed up in my "LITTLE RED PEACHING HOOD" costume to celebrate the day.  I got let out for a change and went exploring in the woods.  Well after a little prowling, I became cold, since it's February and went to warm my TAIL - and white paws (not shown above). 

I found a cozy cabin in the woods. Purr-fect, I thought. I went inside and saw what looked like a kindly old lady cat so I approached.  Oh NO!  This creature was not kindly at all!  And her TEETH...very sharp and pointed.  I knew I had to get out of there.  In fact I think I recognized her.  Check out the picture above if you haven't already....

Oh NOoooo.......that "grandma" probably wants to try out those teeth on me...gotta get out of there....

If you'd like to know more about this national fun holiday, click the Tell A Fairy Tale Day link!

Today we are joining Cat On My Head's Sunday hop!

PS: We are having trouble commenting on some of the blogs lately, esp Wordpress but will do our best! Wishing you a blessed day!

 Early Celebration of "Love Your Pet" Day

Five free ways to celebrate...

LOVE YOUR PET DAY! (Tomorrow) . We decided to celebrate this im-purr-tant day EARLY by featuring ME! I have been known to "hold hands" (paws) on many occasions with my human. In turn she lets me show off my jelly bean pads. What will YOU do to show L-O-V-E to your pet today & tomorrow?

What are five ways to show "love" to your beloved fur-ball!

1) Don't hold back on the treats! You have some? Today's the day.

2) Give your cat a new paper bag! Cut two holes out of it. Catnip inside! You can also dangle feathers outside the "little windows" for a new game.

3) Give your cat a loving brushing!

4) Tell your cat something new you like about him/her. Chances are good they'll understand!

5) Bring out their favorite food. Tuna is ours!

PPS: Time to make a plan! How will YOU & your fur-balls celebrate this day?

Today we are joining the Cat on My. Head's Sunday Hop. Hello to al our Fur-ball Friends!

Creative Colorful Cat Contest Winners

FINE ART AMERICA SITE

So here's what happened:  Our adventurous human was not satisfied with US!  She had to go
adventuring in OTHER PLACES where she met OTHER CATS and their humans.  Thought as her real live house cats we don't approve of such venturings, there is nothing we can do about it.  We hereby grant her the floor....for Caturday only!

Full disclosure: Our creative human has an artist site on Fine Art America where she displays her artwork of not only cats, but other pets, landscapes, flowers, seascapes and much much more. In Fine Art America, there are contests, a place to showcase and sell one's art work and networking with other artists.

COLORFUL CREATIVE CATS CONTEST

Last month our human held a CONTEST for creative and colorful art creations of cats. There were an astonishing number of entries. She planned to feature one cat but FIVE cats/humans tied for FIRST with the most votes.  Here are the talented winners (not necessarily in order of winning). We are placing their web links as well if you want to check out more of their talented work.

THE FIVE CONTEST WINNERS

Eva Lechner, Susan Maxwell Schmidt, Debra Kewley, Deborah League, Tatiana Travelways.

https://susanmaxwellschmidt.pixels.com

Susan writes: "I'm an animal person through and through."  Re cats:  "There is just something so elegant and even a little mysterious about cats that I just can't resist depicting them in all their sophisticated glory. "

Susan, who lives in Pennsylvania, also uses many digital apps collected through time & creates many of her masterpieces on an iPad.

She is an accomplished artist in many other areas: another favorite creative outlet is designing & crocheting contemporary knitwear.

Debra Kewley and her creation:  CAT IN A HAT

Debra writes:  "I love bringing a cat to life with my digital art!  Splash painting is featured in this digital cat and its colorful hat.  Deborah who lived many years in Florida, specialized in gorgeous seascapes and other beautiful scenes (including animals) & more recently in digital art. She's in the process of moving to Colorado where "the mountains are calling!" We can't wait to see more of her work.

Deborah League's creation:  GALAXY CAT

https://deborah-league.pixels.com

Deborah writes:  "While my subject varies, my inspiration is always the same:  COLOR - and the way it makes me feel.  From soft and muted to vibrant and everything in-between, color ... is a way to preserve memories, ...and even evoke sounds and tastes."

What a fitting statement for a winner of a "colorful and creative cat" contest! Deborah, who lives in Delaware, has made some dramatic and exciting explorations into the world of digital art, including many cat portraits, and her spectacular Galaxy Cat --with its blue predominance an myriad other glimmering colors--says it all.

Tatiana Travelways' creation: COLORFUL CAT

Tatiana,, has created a beautifully modern creative cat portrait, however, as the last name suggests, she focuses on documenting the many different and colorful places she's traveled with her art work, specializing in digital.  South America, both American Coasts and Europe represent only a few of the places she's visited and painted.

Tatiana currently lives in Las Vegas.  

*********************************************************************

We certainly hope you've enjoyed these portraits of OTHER CATS because hereafter, we intend to keep a tighter leash on our human, so she doesn't escape, go adventuring outside and...well, you get the drift!
