July Photo Fails & Much More!

Hola kitties! It's time for the monthly Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop and we have many this month. My last post is photo fails; how appropriate. You would not believe how many we have! They are the yuuugest fails you've ever seen. I'm also participating in the Friendly Fill-ins and some stunning art.

We have a lot to do so let's get it started. I think I've picked the worst but each of three shoots had many to chose from. I'm joining the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop hosted by Miss Cuddlywumps, Paisley and Webster of the Cuddlywumps Cat Chronicles blog. This blog hop takes place on the last Friday of each and every month. Everyone has an occasional photo fail so you should join in the fun.

This first shot was from a July 1 shoot. TW wanted a pic for our "I am a Patriot" post. She set everything up just right. When she loaded the pics, she discovered the camera wasn't set to Automatic; it was on Program. Ack! Four pics and one was worse than the next one. For the post I had her photoshop my paws over the dark blob in the pic, which came out well since she darkened my paws a bit. Bet you couldn't tell.

On the 9th, we received a nice summer package from Chewy. I'll admit it would have been nicer if the box contained CAT stuff rather than DOG stuff. (NOTE: if you have an account with Chewy, there's a new "My Pets" category under the account settings. Mine was defaulted to DOG as I bet they all are. Make sure to switch your's to CAT. I'm thinking that's why I received a DOG package.) TW wanted me to pose with the sunglasses. I refused. I was mad I got all DOG stuff but TW told me to be gracious; it's the thought that counts. The thought? Kiss my gray furry [censored]! I can't play with thoughts! This was after she got some pics from behind—more fails—of me sniffing the glasses. I'm outta here!

This last one was from this Wednesday. I thought I was finished with photo shoots since she bailed on the blogging thing. She stated she still needed pics for FB. She took about a billion pics—some with flash—where I'm going nutz over some silvervine powder. Once on my perch, I began eying her menacingly so she grabbed the camera hoping to capture my expression. *CHOMP* I bit down on her. Then I turned and ran. CK: 1, TW: 0.

The Friendly Fill-Ins are hosted each and every week by 15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are underlined and in italics. Each week my image relates to one of the fill-ins. This week it relates to number two?

1. I deserve a gold star for not biting anyone today. I must be slipping. I did bite TW yesterday.

2. Right now, I am loving my cube and my new tree. You can always find me in one of those places.

3. The best advice I've ever been given is be yourself. Don't try to copy anybody else. Stay true to your goals and always keep it real.

4. If I had to choose a new first name, it would be Keisha. I'd do away with the Cathy. Sorry Gramma.

I first did my art using PicsArt but it really didn't look like a real painting.

Remembering that TW used to know someone who used sponges as brushes, I decided to sponge over the art a bit and then texturize it to make it look like canvas rather than paper.

It's my entry in The Caturday Art blog hop which is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to provide a platform for anipal artists to showcase their latest digital, Photoshop and original art. No talent? No problemo. There are hundreds of one-click apps for desktop or mobile devices that will turn your photos into works of art.

Remember you can follow my Facebook page to see some stunning pics of me and keep up with our happenings. If you're not on FB like my Aunt Pauline, you can still see the posts even though you can't comment.
