Photoshop Fun
Little Isis Style



What do you do when you get a blurry picture of a kitty?
First, let's look at the original - which is kinda cool to start with:




Then you play with it in photoshop, of course!
The picture below is Laser-Eye Little Isis with the effect called
"Glowing Edges"




This one  is "Watercolor"
Looks more like Blair Witch Effect to me....



This one made me laugh, so I had to use it.
The effect is called "Chrome"



Oh well, I had fun.
Hope you did, too!
ciao for now
Uncle Mo

Maya on Friday ~ Reading the newspaper

"What is this?Mommy left her noospapers all over the floor again."
"Luckily,I'm not in a naughty mood,so I won't rip all the papers into pieces.I'll do that another day."
"Mmmm,these wordies look kinda interesting.I wonder what they say?"
"Maybe if I walk on the papers,I'll understand better what they mean."
"Stupid noospapers.They make my head hurt.I'm off to go sleep on my daddy's lap."
"Ahhh,this is much better.I always sleep best when I'm with my daddy."

{PS.my mommy said I shouldn't worry that I don't understand the big words in the noospapers,because I'm just a little girl,and have lots of time to get smarter.}

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A PURRRFECT WEEKEND!

Maya on Friday

Don't I have purrty eyes?

Morning everyone!

My name is Maya,and I'm a 4 and a half month old mini-House Panther.I saw this wonderful blog,and just knew immediately I want to be a part of it.Very few other kittehs know how awesome it is to be a House Panther,and it's about time we all showed them.But my mommy,Penny,said I should tell you more about myself first,so you can get to know me.

My mommy says I look like a doggy begging for a treat.AS IF Mommy!I'm no doggy,I'm much better ~ I'm a House Panther

Having fun with my Grandma J's baskets,just like Little Red Riding Hood.My Grandma J always brings very yummy treats in these baskets

My mommy doesn't know precisely which day I was borned,because my kitteh mom was very wild,and had me and my brother and sisters inside the roof of their apartment.But my daddy's birthday is November 19,and mommy reckons mine must be around there,so we both decided that would be my birthday.My mommy says I'm a gift from her daddy who went to the people's rainbow bridge in 2007,because she founded me on the one year anniversary that her daddy left.She is very happy I came to live with her and daddy.

Enough with the saddies,my mommy can be a big 'ol crybaby sometimes.I think I should tell you all what I likes to do for fun,because I love fun.We live in a very small apartment,but that doesn't stop me,because there is a window where I can jump out and climb this tree in our front yard,which is lotsa fun,except my daddy had to climb up and get me the first time I did it,cos I kinda went too high.Oopsie.My daddy made me my own scratching post,and I jump all over it when I'm inside,and not wanting to get myself dirrty.When I go in the backyard,there's always a friend to play with,because my kitteh grandma and auntie live right next door.My kitteh grandma is a Siamese cat,and my kitteh mommy was a Calico cat,so my mommy doesn't really know where I got my pantherness from,but she thinks I was very lucky to come out all black.

Being naughty.I can't resist an open cupboard,there's lotsa fun stuff to whap in there.I've been locked inside the cupboards a few times,because I do the hidey very well,especially when it's a little dark,then mommy can't see me at all

Well,that's just a little about me,Maya,but I'm going to come every Friday and show you guys some more about me,because my mommy says I'm getting naughtier and naughtier as I'm growing up,so I'm sure I'll have lotsa good stories to tell you.

Relaxin' after lotsa catchief!

You guys can visit my mommies' blog,Penny's Thoughts,and read lotsa stuff about me there too.I'll see you next Friday,hope all the House Panthers have a very sunny,sleepy,eaty weekend!I know I am going to!

Lucy Needs A Forever Home

 
 Lucy was a stray who has been taken in this winter, but now needs a Forever Home.  She is an adult female, all-black cat with lovely jade eyes.  She is litter-box trained and would like to be an inside-only cat, with someone who can give her lots of attention.
She is being fostered in southwestern Michigan, but travel arrangements can be made.
If you can give Lucy a Forever Home, please contact Morgen at The Wren's Nest, 269-782-5127 or via e-mail: morgen1967@gmail.com

Stygian Saturdays on Sundays!

Hi everyone! I am a day late, and it's all my mom's fault. She was out all day yesterday and came home exhausted. But I was overjoyed to see her when she got home, as you can see:

I love my mom! And would you like to see a very close-up of my belly? It is very dark and stygian:

Stygian Saturdays

Stygian Saturdays are back!

It's been so long since I've posted. Since it has been so long, I shall re-introduce myself. My name is Stygia, and I am a 2 and a half year old House Panther. Aside from this blog, I share another one with my tabby step-sister Abby, called T'Abby Normal & the Stygian Panther.

People often ask how I got the name Stygia. It wasn't the name I had when they adopted me from the SPCA last August, but I like it. I never responded to my former name (Bear), but my new people talk to me a lot, and so I do respond to my new, better name. Here's something from the dictionary:

Styg⋅i⋅an

–adjective
1. of or pertaining to the river Styx or to Hades.
2. dark or gloomy.
3. infernal; hellish.
Also, styg⋅i⋅an (for defs. 2, 3).


Origin:
1560–70; Stygi(us) Stýgios (Styg-, s. of Stýx Styx + -ios adj. suffix) + -an

Well, I'm not a gloomy girl, but I am very dark. In the picture you see of me above, I am actually smiling -- when I am really happy, my fangs peep out!
