It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some old sketches from way back in 2011, when I first started this blog. Sparta Puss is here but so is the late, great and much loved ‘Little Ming’ aka ‘Ming The Merciless’, our tiny long-haired naughty tortie.

#Caturday With Tulips
Here’s our little elderly rescue kitty, ‘Bill’ AKA ‘William Chatnoir’ AKA ‘Phoebe’ who came to us almost a year ago. She ended up in a rescue shelter when her beloved human sadly passed. She was fearful and depressed when she first moved in but she’s found her paws and is quite feisty now, especially whenContinue reading “#Caturday With Tulips”
#Caturday Saturday …
Double Trouble for #Caturday. A collage I did of our new-ish rescue kitty, William Chatnoir (Bill for short). Now she’s settled in, got her paws under the table, she’s a little troublemaker. Like the rest of them! Wouldn’t be without her though xxx
A Bit More Kitty Fun.
I had some fun with Photoshop yesterday, for #Caturday, but I didn’t want to stop so after I produced the greyscale image I whacked it through a Gradient Map to get this hot version. And today I made a pear and chocolate upside-down sponge cake for Sunday Tea. Husb and I had it hot withContinue reading “A Bit More Kitty Fun.”
#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop – More Bill…
Here’s little Bill aka William ChatNoir aka Phoebe, our new-ish elderly rescue cat. She’s been with us about 4 months now and things are settling down between her and our OG Naughty Tortie, Sparta Puss. It’s costing us a fortune in bribes – all sorts of kitty treats. Sadly, Bill’s human died and she wentContinue reading “#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop – More Bill…”
Cat Cut Outs
I traced a drawing I did recently of Bill, our new rescue cat, and used it as a template to cut some cat shapes to have a play with. I recently recycled some textured papers, old prints that had been rejected. I squeegeed some acrylic inks across their surfaces to see what happened. Bill’s silhouetteContinue reading “Cat Cut Outs”
More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.
I had so much fun with Photoshop and William ChatNoir (aka Bill) yesterday that I had another go today. I put Bill through a Poster Edges filter and then into a Gradient Map with Orange, Yellow, Red and Blue. Poster Edges really picked out the subtle patterns on the voile curtain. Bill is an elderlyContinue reading “More Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 2.”
#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.
I took a few photos of our new rescue kitty, William ChatNoir, or Bill for short, on our window seat, backlit against the spiral net curtain. She’s a black cat and the photos are perfect silhouettes in black and white, and I fancied playing with some of them in Adobe Photoshop. I ramped up theContinue reading “#Caturday: Fun With Photoshop: Bill’s Story 1.”
#InternationalBlackCatDay
Today is #InternationalBlackCatDay and here’s our not-very-international black cat Bill (short for William ChatNoir – blame Husb – he’s a Trekkie). She’s been with us for about 3 months now and she came via the Cats Protection rescue centre in Bridgend (she was originally Phoebe). Husb and I had been thinking about adopting an olderContinue reading “#InternationalBlackCatDay”
#Caturday – Two Little Kitties
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a picture from nine years ago, before Sparta Puss became an only cat. The little fluff ball on the right is the late, great Little Ming, a one-eyed Naughty Tortie rescue cat with heaps of Tortitude. Ming died about 4 years ago, at a ripe old age. I’ve putContinue reading “#Caturday – Two Little Kitties”
