Caturday Art: Webster in the Window, Artified

Today's Caturday Art features Real Cat Webster reprising his role as "Webster in the Window." Old SoLT artified last week's Sunday Selfie in two completely different ways.





This first one used PicMonkey (the Urbane, Fancy Focus, and Radiance effects, and a rounded-corner frame).

The second one is 100% invisible because we started it in Dreamscope waaaay back on Sunday, and as of Friday

March Bloopers, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

We have two fun Friday features for you today. First up is our
small collection (a pair, really) of March bloopers. After that, it’s on to
Friendly Fill-Ins!



Bloopers

This is kind of hard to believe, but old SoLT only has two
bloopers to share this month. Oddly, she did not manage to take any accidental
pictures of her feet or the ceiling or a spot on the rug. No one is more
shocked than I

Each week in this space, we feature an

Sunday Selfie: Webster in the Window

Lately, Real Cat Webster has taken to sitting on the back of old SoLT's recliner so he can look out the winder. That's where they took this selfie:

Caturday Art: Paisley Plays with the Dog's Stuff

Sometimes Real Cat Paisley watches Resident Dog Layla playing and tries to figure out what the heck she's doing.

As soon as the dog went outside, Paisley jumped in and figured
