Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

It's the weekend once again, and we all know that Saturday means Caturday which is my favorite day of the week!

If you're not already familiar with Caturday it means that day of the week where everybody around the Internet gets out pictures of their favorite feline friends and share!

Looks like we have a nice sunny day in store around here. I've been sleeping in a Sunny Spot near an open window, and I'm hoping that the Hoomans will later go out on their upstairs deck and take me with them. It is about that time of the year where I get to spend a little time outside with human supervision.

Wait... you're not filming me again, are you?

I don't mind too much that it has to be with Hooman supervision because we have a lot of predators in the neighborhood ranging from large dogs to cougars to coyotes and even eagles who would love nothing more than to take a pampered house cat home for a snack. I'd rather be safe, thank you!

Memorial Day

This weekend is also a holiday weekend as we celebrate Memorial Day here in the US — known as Remembrance Day in other parts of the world.

For most people this means it's an occasion to get together for picnics and barbecues and spend some family time when the weather is nice... although the true meaning of the day is to honor those who have lost their lives in Wars around the world.

War seems like a rather silly Hooman invention, if you ask me. But what do I know? I'm just a cat!

Playing with my catnip mouse...

Meanwhile, I've been continuing forward with my intentions to publish new posts more regularly... as part of my efforts to build my Hive account.

It does seem like slow times and bear markets are a good time to do so, in part because it seems like there are fewer people active, and in part because you get more Hive tokens for your efforts when token prices are lower!

There was a time when I was hoping to make it to "Dolphin" status by the end of 2023, but I've had to modify that ambition and now I'm just hoping to make it halfway there, based on my starting point at the beginning of the year... which would take me to about 4200 Hive power.

On the whole, it's been a pretty good week around here. I'm glad the Mom-Hooman is back from her camping trip because I like it better when there are two Hoomans here to pay attention to the cat instead of just one!

Smudge, enjoying a sunny spot!

We cats do like to be the center of attention... but only when it is on our terms!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are having a wonderful Caturday and have a great remainder of your long holiday weekend!

Love Cats? Get Involved in Hive's Cat Communties!

If you're a cat lover and often/sometimes post pictures or other content that includes your feline friends, why not become an active part of Hive's growing Cat Communities?

These are some of the more active Cat Communities — why not join them ALL? Many of the allow you to share your cat posts, even if you started at a different community!

HiveCats by @curatorcat is a central "gathering place" for cat content on Hive; promoting the use of the #hivecats tag for feline content!

Cat Snaps by @manorvillemike is a place to post pictures of your cats when you don't have a whole lot to say beyond just sharing your cute photos!

Caturday by @saboin is a community where we get to celebrate posts relating to Saturday — aka "Caturday" — our own special day!

Cat Photos by @andrarchy is a "mixed use" cat content community; posts can be just photos or longer, as long as the subject is CATS!

Cats by @captainklaus (and Sissi!) is another "general" cat content community.

There are a number of other feline communities listed on Hive, but I am not sharing them for now as they have not had any activity (by their Admins OR users) since the Steem/Hive fork. Updates as they become available!
