Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week Eric gets a post to himself. It is from January 2007 and is called:

Eric the Afflete!



Mum an Flynn bofe say all I do is lay around or eat. Well heers the proof dat sumtimes I am furry lively. This is my ratty an I am getting reddy to pounce on him.


Heer I go, I'll give him what for.


This is me wiv a mousie dat Flynn caught furr me.


I wuz having a good game wiv it, an I can be reely speedy sumtimes.


See I wuz that fast that mum couldn't keep up wiv me an it looks like she chopped my hed off. Don't worry Rosie, my hed is still theer reely!


I wuz that tired out after dat I had to lie on the floor wiv my fluffcat. See we are the same culler. I put the bitey on fluffcat yooshully, but I wuz just too tired in this pichur.

And so Flynn isn't left out, a one photo Tummy Tuesday post from November 2006.


Mum sez I am getting a little podgy tummy, but I fink it is just the way I am sitting.


I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art.

For Eric I used Abstract at 45%, then added Scribble at 25%.

For Flynn it was Psychedelic at 55%, then Surreal at 50%.

  16. Like all highly intelligent creatures, Eric saw no sense in activity when there wasn't a point. But when Ratty needed tackling, or a mouse needed playing with, Eric was a true action-cat.

  23. You and Fluff Cat are so cute together and we specially like the way Mom did the artwork of the two of you ... Flynn got a bit sneaky, adding his own photo to "your" post today now didn't he, but it is a funny one!

  24. Who knew that Eric was so athletic! I guess when it comes to rats and meeses, he's all over it. He can even fly -- Supurrcat!
    And the tummy pic of Flynn is so adorable, too.

    I love the effects you created for each of them in your art. They both intensify the photos, and are interesting visually.
