PAINTED CAT MEW YEAR'S SHOW 2020

CLICK ON PICTURE TO SEE SHOW!

 What happens when 30 adventurous cats volunteer to be "painted" for New Year's Eve?  White cats turn pink, brown cats turn blue, and orange cats?  Well anything could happen!

 These fearless felines, friends of Peaches & Paprika's Facebook page, had a great time ringing in 2020. NO one was allowed to complain about their "New Look."  Two bloggers - Noelle from Friends Forever and Annabelle from ManxCaats purr-ticipated.  Happy 2020 to all & Happy Cat-urday. We're joining Athena & Marie's art hop today.

Caturday Art...Colorful Window Portrait by Human

Nothing like a colorful window portrait for a muggy august day.  Here I am staring at my human who is staring at me, camera in hand.  Camera, camera always the camera.  But I love it!  This portrait made by the Painnt Drips filter. Fun!

And this (below) is how she rendered it after the photograph!  Peaches...a star!

RENDERING OF MY PORTRAIT: AN EXCITING OCCASION! (30 second video)

Athena & Marie's



Today we are joining Athena & Marie's Caturday Art hop!

Happy National PINK Day!

Are we PINK enough? 

We ladies had never heard of "NATIONAL PINK DAY" but when our human told us about it, we couldn't celebrate fast enough!  For today, she used the Painnt Lysergic effect (what a name!) but it worked and we came out a nice sorta pinky color!

There are many ways to celebrate this national day, as not everyone can just "turn pink" the way we did!  

You can wear pink things

You can cook with pink (cookies with frosting, anyone?)

Or go to the park and find pink flowers...

Buy pink flowers for your honey...

Have a great pink day!

We are celebrating Caturday Art day today with Athena & Marie & look forward to visiting!

Tulip Jail!

With tulip season comes challenges! 

Little did we realize when we ate all those house plants that there would be a price to pay. I told Peaches NOT to! Now it's too late! We landed in TULIP JAIL!
-- Paprika the Cat

Happy Caturday, though from both of us. 
 I hope we get let out soon.

Psychedeli-Cats & Van Gogh Cats

We have two photos to share today.  The first is a psycho-Painnt effect of one of us! Who?

The second one we would like your opinion on.
It's a Lunapic blend... and it's for a Van Gogh festival at church...but it turned out kind of Scearrry.  Do you think it's too scaaaery for our church show & our Facebook readers?

Scaaaery Kitties: Tooo scary?

I, Paprika, assumed my best Stare, while Peaches decided to experiment with Buddha postures. And Stare. 

We're joining Athena & Marie's Caturday Art hop this week, and wish them good luck in planning their "moves" in the coming weeks!

Happy National Look-A-Like Day

 This is a day we MUST celebrate as we look so identical from the back our hapless human cannot tell us apart!


Hah! But check us out from the front. You can see my sparkling white vest whereas my sisfur Paprika is stuck with just an orange vest.

You can read more about National Look-A-Like Day HERE!

Basically, Look A-Like day is a fun holiday invented to celebrate identical twins, clones, COPYCATS, and anyone else you look like or who looks like you!


But I say, vive le Sisfur-ship and vive le Difference! --

Regards, Peaches the Cat.

When will the daffodils arrive?

Although we are indoor cats, we dream of daffodils &  other flowers.  How could winter last so long? When will our flowers dream be realized?

Happy Peach Cobbler Day from Peaches the Cat

At last! One of MY holidays has arrived! National Peach Cobbler Day! For REAL! I lost no time in finding a  peach cobbler and...I am in my glory. Happy Peach Cobbler Day to all! You can read more about it here!

Peaches Red-Body Caturday Art

When my human asked me to pose, hey I was right THERE! 

Do you like me as a red-head, er, red-body?  This is Lunapic's Illusion effect, with a few add-on effects from Picmonkey. 

Happy Caturday! We are joining Athena & Marie's hop today.

Tax Preparation Interference 2018

Paprika:

When we saw our human pull out those old folders from last year, we lost no time in preventing her from beginning this work!


Peaches: we feel very hurt she prefers taxes to US!

Paprika: By using tried and true methods, we immediately took over the folders!

Peaches: These folders make great pillows!

Human's note: somehow I got the tax preparation done and to the accountant, no thanks to THEM!  Oh well....

Happy World Party Day!

Happy World Party Day! (Peace through Partying...) World Party Day is based on the idea that the opposite of war is party! You can read more about it HERE!.

How to Party?

"Pass the Food and turn up the Music" is a common phrase heard on this day! And hey, we are also celebrating Tummy Tuesday" too! I always believe in showing  off a little of one's tummy when possible! Have a good day, everyone!

Happy Easter from all of us

Well we finally got to take off the bunny ears that our human made us wear all week, and now we made HER wear them! Love to you all and whether you're celebrating Easter or Passover, we wish you Love!

Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day‪

Hello everyone, Paprika here! There is a fun holiday today called "Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day.  Although our human lives in Connecticut She's from Oklahoma and couldn't resist celebrating the day.  We got to sing some of our favorite "country" songs!  

But of course I started singing ONLY to be corrected by my sisfur, Peaches who thinks she's "all that"

Peaches puts in her two cents worth!

Peaches couldn't resist rubbing a little salt into my wounds.

This interchange made me sad and blue, remembering loves lost. But then I remembered my favorite song, "Heartaches by the Number!"

I did lay it on a little thick, remembering another country song I liked:

By now Peaches had about all she could take.

She decided the only way I'd get rid of my blues was to sing a duet with me!  I have to admit, this was a Happy Ending!

Paprika, "Psycho-Kitten"

 I insist on having the limelight at least one-third of the time.  No one can ignore me in my "psycho" effect.

Whoops. I meant psychedelic.  I'm not used to all this finery!

I was promised I'd look more kittenish in this effect.  Even tho I'm 7 now I still feel like a kitten.

Here's what I looked like before all the fuss.

I think I like the "psycho" effect better, er psychedelic. We are joining Athena & Marie's Caturday Art hop today and look forward to seeing our other dressed up fuurrriends!

GREEN CATS Peaches & Paprika

GREEN CATS!

Peaches: My human insisted I become GREEN today in honor of St Patrick's upcoming day AND Caturday ART.  She used the "greenify" filter from Painnt she said to tell you. What a nerve!  Check out how my back hairs are standing up.  do I look PLEASED?

Paprika: I, Paprika, would never dream of looking as fierce as my displeased sisfur Peaches. Because I was so well behaved my human gave me a green clover for this picture, also done with the Painnt Software. As you see I am a serious and well-behaved individual!

It will not surprise you to know we're joining Athena & Marie's Caturday Art hop today. Happy Caturday to all!

Big St. Patrick's Day Preparation

We love looking all dressed up! But Getting ready for St. Patrick's Day is NOT something we look forward to.  Here is how our dress-up event took place in the past!  We were resting peacefully in beautiful baskets when...

We tried to give our opinion!

Did no good, though!

If I go to sleep no one will bother me...

But THEN...

Well, it's all to the good...we THINK! Maybe! This is one of our favorite holidays. And yours too, we hope?

Note: This experience was originally described in March 2016 but we think it's timeless!

Happy TOOTH TUESDAY!

What if you looked up from the dentists' chair to find our your dentists were CATS?

Hee Hee, we were just messing with you cuz today is DENTIST'S DAY!

Yes, there is truly a day dedicated to dentists. You supposed to send your dentist e-cards and floss your teeth and things like that.

We thought we'd try being dentists to see if we could earn some money for cat food...well let you know how it worked out.  Can you tell which of us is which in the picture? 

(Hint: Peaches is wearing pink!)

Before signing off, we decided we should show off our pointed fangs since it's a special day. Speaking of which, Happy Tooth Tuesday!

Peach Blossom Queen today--Peaches the cat

Did you know that today is NATIONAL PEACH BLOSSOM DAY!  It's true! When I found out about this I lost no time finding some peach blossoms and posing.  I have been appointed queen of peach blossom day don't you think that's appropriate?  Our human used Topaz & Photoshop today. He He my sisfur Paprika will be so jealous!  You can read about Peach Blossom Day HERE. We're joining Athena & Marie's Caturday Art Hop today!  Happy Caturday to all!

Dr Seuss Try-Ons

Good morning, Peaches here!
This year, My human was determined to FINALLY have us wear the Dr Seuss hat which our friend's mom, brought us 2 YEARS ago as a special gift. It was made by her mom!
Ms. Ellen of 15 and Meowing blog had asked me personally  then if I would wear the hat for Dr Seuss Day.

I refused last year but this year I have become more outgoing and cooperative. My human cannot believe it!

The next step was to ask Paprika to put on the hat.  She knew what was coming so had migrated to the top of the refrigerator.

As I however had suspected, Paprika was her usual ornery self when it comes to costumes or picture-taking!

So as per usual, it will be up to ME to entertain the crowds.  Believe me, I'm up to the task.  I have no choice since some sisfur up there on the fridge is determined to NOT participate! -- Peaches the cat

PS: Because of the special a day and circumstances of Paprika not joining me in hat-wearing, I purrrsuaded our human to create a new graphic of us with books (see below).  After all, it doesn't hurt to "pretend" to be literary.  

What better way to start than with Dr. Seuss!
