Easter Celebrations and Guest Artist

 We agreed with our human that WE would be the starring characters on her Easter Post.  This was not easy since she is easily distracted and sometimes observes (and even CREATES) other cats.  Can you BELIEVE it?  But we got her to keep it down to a minimum today.  Here is an idyllic shot of us resting up for Easter, posted earlier in the week.

THE PURPLE BASKET TEMPTATION

I, Paprika, was tempted by a mouthwatering purple basket.  I could not resist.  However, Peaches thought it was a TRAP so I didn’t stay long...

But it turned out to be a TRICK!  Peaches just wanted the purple basket for herself.

Our Human, tiring of our basket ins and outs, turned her attention to “other cats” - again! And made THIS little fantasy picture!

We thought they would be CHICKENS.  What do we do NOW?

Then she created a SLIDESHOW of our Facebook friends.  Of course we DID star in the show.  If you’d like to watch an abbreviated version, here it is (pardon the low resolution)

One last Easter thing she did:  she fell in love with a fellow artists artwork of a whole BOX of  Easter eggs from which...you guessed it...KITTENS emerged! ...is there no end to people’s imagination..It’s called “A Sweet Surprise” - by colleague Andy Gambino. His online link is right below the picture.

We think it’s time to take...you guessed it, a NAP...until the excitement’s over...

ZZZZZZZ....

We are joining The Cat on My Head’s Sunday hop today. Happy Easter to all!

Guest Cats for Easter Caturday

 Despite our objections that WE should be the subject of any and all holiday postings, our human DISOBEYED us and agreed to post what she felt were some PAWESOME other cats.  

Mom Carol curates an online CREATIVE CAT forum, she sometimes runs contests and these fine felines (see below) were the artsy winners of the contest.  The links to their pictures online are included if you wnat to know more.  Many (but not all were created with AI.  But of course OUR picture is just lil ole us.  

we do think the artsy cats are petty cool, though.  What do YOU think?

PS:  Mom promised to do some of her "AI" on US...but we're still waiting!

St Catrick Guest Cat Creative Winners

Good morning, Peaches the cat here!  This week our human hosted a St. Catrick’s (okay, St. Patrick’s) contest for “MOST CREATIVE ST PATRICKS CAT.”  There was some heavy competition & three talented winners were chosen. (You guessed it, we were “polite” and sat out the competition.  Just sayin...)

Anyway, we’re proud to present the talented artists and photographers who were 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for our Creative Caturday Hop!  We also included the link to their picture on the Fine Art America site in case you want to investigate them further!

Andy Gambino, our third winner is from London, England.

You might well wonder where were WE when all this voting was going on?  Well, we had an important job.  We helped Mom Carol keep all the voters in line.  And of course we had final veto power over the finalists.  We felt alittle left out...but we had our job to do!  

We love watching the other cats on Fine Art America because our Human learns so much from studying all the different kinds of art.  She actually curates a creative cats group, of which these talented artist were members.  Sometimes she’s in such a good mood she gives us extra TREATS!

Signing off for now and we will reappear tomorrow with our OWN St Catrick’s Day greeting!

Love, Peaches & Paprika
