Urgent update on Malta 🐾
Thanks to your kindness, we’ve managed to raise part of the needed funds ❤️
However, it’s still not enough for Malta to undergo her surgery.
She is weak but has a real chance if we can act in time.
We urgently need continued support to cover the surgery costs.
Please help if you can:

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19.
This was a fun diversion that I did to take part in the regular photo reference #CuratorPrompts provided by our admin over here on .ART. The original had a woman on the path, but I loved the idea of a little cat having a sit and watching the falling blossom petals.
Time lapse included here as I never made a full video of it.

Alt...

A slightly whimsical, illustrative digital painting of a path lined with blossoming trees. The branches stretch fully overhead making a ceiling of pale pink, and petals are caught mid fall, blurring in the foreground. Half way up the path, a small black cat sits in a patch of light amongst the long streaks of shadow cast by the many trees.

Alt...

A short time lapse video of the painting, showing the various layers, brush strokes and lighting effects appearing at a sped up rate.

SAVe MALTA🚨
She spent years surviving on the streets in pain, waiting for help. When she was finally rescued and taken for treatment, doctors found severe exhaustion, chronic pain, and multiple health issues.
Illness doesn’t wait and neither can we.
Two surgeries are already done. One more is needed.
The cost is $500.
Please help if you can:

Whatever the humans were eating, it smelled like fish, and Rom (Cambridgeshire, UK) was very certain he would like some. He decided to loudly let his humans know this for as long as he could still smell it (which was quite some time).

This did not come overnight. Since January we have been watching our expenses and trying to cut down. We don't waste, we live simply. One of the things I cannot cut down are the expenses for our cats - we had a bad year with a lot of bills from the vet, alas - we already buy food and litter in bulk on offers. Getting rid of some is no option - no takers, and Amman has no shelter or any such place.
Currently we do have too many - because of a bunch of orphans (4, no pic of Benny):

Two kitten sitting on a blanket in a beige basket. Screamer (got his name for his voice), left, sitting upright, brownish tabby, rather thin. Maybe two month old. Right, Shurty, grey tabby, left eye is destroyed (he has a nice story), sitting like in a loaf, right eye closed.

Alt...

Kitten Tommy - rather six weeks than two month, I guess. Grey tabby, but the pattern on his back looks like bengali. Here you see his pretty face, regular white on nose and right and left of his pretty beige snout. Looking into the camera.

Cats thrive on routine regular feeding, playtime, and sleep schedules help them feel safe, secure, and relaxed. 🐾
Does your cat have a daily routine they insist on keeping? 😸

There are colourful quilts and such under him, with flower motifs, in a nice contrast to his soft reddish hues. A little peek of some toe beans of one paw and his nose are pink.

Two of them are looking up into the camera, one has her back to the camera, one is looking down into the sink with her tongue sticking out, and one has turned her head toward the mirror with her reflection looking back. To fit five cats this had to be the larger bathroom sink instead of the usual one, which only fits four.

Two cats, whose silhouettes are recognisable, sit next to each other in the snow under a bare branch covered in snow. Hanging from this branch are green mistletoe, tied together with a red ribbon. Snowflakes fall gently from the sky and spread a wintry atmosphere. As an evergreen plant that blooms in winter, mistletoe symbolises life and hope. At Christmas time, the custom of kissing under mistletoe symbolises happiness and eternal love. Two cats meet under the mistletoe is a watercolour painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

How to tell when it's a clear sky at night during winters without leaving the warm bed?

More cats sleeping within hand's reach - sky is clear, temperature has dropped. Fewer cats at hand, but I'm still pinned down under blanket - cloudy but still cool. No cats on blanket? Time to panic.

looks like the kittens have been accepted and are now deemed no longer "the scary monstrosities of nightmares".
Picù is finally comfortable enough...
