A Different Type of Selfie

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

“Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” ~Mark Twain

And so I introduce my Sunday Selfies. And yes, Mom L and I have a message for any of my readers who care to visit and comment.

A courageous human in Aleppo, Syria has chosen to remain in the war torn city to care for its humans who need transport to hospitals wherever the hospitals can remain safe to operate. And as he moved through the rubble he picked up cats along the way who had been left behind by humans who understandably fled to save their lives. Read recent update here.

Everyone in the cat blogging community knows of the Cat Man of Aleppo. Others have blogged about the recent bombing of the Aleppo cat house this week as well as the use of chlorine gas on the house and surrounding area. A place where children came to play in an play ground and to play with those cats who were identified as friendly by a red cloth collar on around their necks.

My Sunday Selfie is for the cats Mr. Alaa continues to try to tend to and save. Please do not ever forget this man and the cats of Aleppo.

So grateful for this food!

Notice the blackened paws from escaping the bombed Ernesto Cat House.

Thank you Ceiling Cat for sending me this food

Again, please notice this kitty’s darkened legs and paws from the bombs. On the day the bombs hit they also took out the children’s playground and a  local blood bank.

If you are interested in joining a small group of cat pals workin’ on the most useful call to action, visit this private Face Book group. But please be respectful of the restrictions placed on helping.

I am joining The Cat On My Head Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.

PeeEss: Please be sure to visit the return of the AdventurCats™ with our new story—The Prohibition Error. The first episode can be found on my Friday blog post. The next episode will appear on Dash Kitten Team’s Sunday blog post.

Playing Around with Filters

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My Sunday Selfie was especially fun to create. I pawed the Dreamscope button after I added two filters from Photoshop Elements and voila! I have two renditions of my selfie for today. I am joining my buddies The Kitties Blue from The Cat On My Head for their Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.

Here is the first one where I only used a couple of filters from PSE.

I love you Mom

My upside down head tilt gets Mom every time. She likes it even better than the standing head tilt the pro cat models use. What do you think? Oh yeah, and the sweet little front paws doing their own rendition of a “tilt” never hurts.

Next I used Dreamscope on the photo above. All I did was add Vandyke and whoa! This photo popped right out at me. I like it, don’t you?

I have gone all colorful!

I’ll be sure to see you at the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop!

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

PeeEss—I will be announcing the contents of Momma Kat’s Hope Chest on my blog post tomorrow. She is still not adopted so I hope I can give you an update on what’s up with promoting her.

PeeEssEss—If you liked the AdventurCats stories, get ready for a new one to start right here on my blog Friday, November 18th!!
