Silly Fireworks Season #SundaySelfie

Here I am chilling out this easy Sunday, hoping tonight's fireworks for Bonfire Night, which actually falls on Tuesday 5th November, aren't too loud. 

It's impossible I know.

Fireworks don't bother me much to be honest, unless they're being fired off by our neighbours. That's too close for comfort. 

Mum detests fireworks. She says what's the point? If you've seen one firework display, you've seen them all.

I mean, just what is the fascination with deafening booms and flashing lights? As an animal lover, Mum can't  understand why people with pets like to participate as most of our neighbours and many locals do have pets. Do they even care how terrifying these explosive sounds can be for animals? And that's ALL animals, not just beloved pets.

Silent or low noise fireworks are now available, but obviously the majority of the noise-obsessed public won't find them "fun" at all. Unfortunately, being excessively loud and obnoxious is all some persons can be in order to suggest they are having a good time.

Happy 13th Blogoversary To Us! #SundaySelfie

Apologies to those of you trying to link to yesterday's Caturday Art post.  There seems to be a problem with my annual subscription payment so I'm trying to sort that out today. Hopefully, the link will open again as I've checked paypal and it states payment is up-to-date. I've also contacted linky tools and explained.

Update: Linky is open now. If you haven't posted your Caturday Art entry you can do so now.

Can you believe that we forgot our blogoversary? It's thanks to our furriends over at the Cat Blogosphere that we remembered!

We started this blog back on 26th October 2011  when I was a five-month-old kitten.

To celebrate, we're sharing some favourite photos from our blog.

This is one of earliest photos from that time.

Mum used to walk me in the garden like a doggy on a leash. Everything was fine until I saw the intruder cat and I managed to slip out of my harness to give chase. Mum was petrified that she would lose me and quickly grabbed me but I was so confused and angry that I scratched her. A lot. Sorry, Mum πŸ’šπŸ˜½

Scared Of My Own Shadow Halloween Caturday Art

Happy Halloween πŸŽƒ

For our Halloween Caturday Art we used BeFunky graphics and effects. 

This photo was taken late at night while I was being my naughty self. I leapt on to the bookshelf, and the lamp below created the creepy shadow of myself on the ceiling. Mum thought it would make an excellent Halloween-themed artwork. After adding some Halloween graphics and a grunge frame she experimented with some effects.

I then reminded Mum that she hasn't used the NightCafe AI Creator for a while so she entered the text prompt  "brown tabby halloween cat" and this is what she got.

This cat sure has my face and eyes😻
