Greetings, Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to Caturday, my favorite day of the week! Time to post another round of pictures of our favorite feline friends! After all, what is the Internet for, if not for posting photos of cats?

Shangri, posing... therefore the "dreamy" filter! Photo by @cosmictriage.

It's a rather cold, rainy and windy day today... for the third day in a row, and the Hooman "Weather People" say it is likely to stay like this until Wednesday. Ugh! Buy what about our sunny spots?

On the upside, it means that the Hoomans are staying indoors and can pay attention to us cats! We have already had a couple of rounds of playtime with chasing the red dot!

Playtime in the stairwell... pretty much everyone's favorite!

Of course, there are always naps for the times in between... and I think the Mom-Hooman is about to go sit in front of the TV and watch some show, which means there's a good Hooman lap about to become available!

And the nice thing about the weather around here is that it usually doersn't stay the same for all that long... even if it does rain for another five days, chances are we'll have some sunbreaks!

Shadow in the sun earlier in the week... proof that black cats actually aren't entirely black!

We still haven't settled on a "formal" birthday date for Shangri and Nala, but it will likely be within the next few days, depending on what the Hoomans can find out from theor original adoption paperwork.

It's not easy to determine when kittens were actually born, when they are brought to a shelter, especially very young. But we have their vet certificates and dates, and their adoption dates and so forth... so we're working with that.

Otherwise, things are feeling a little bit "lighter" around the house since the Daughter Hooman and her new baby finally got to come home from the hospital!

The Hoomans were quite worried for several weeks, but things seem to be going better now, and the new baby is mostly breathing well without additional oxygen.

No Caturday post would be complete without a picture of Smudge! 20 years old, and still going...

It's definitely nice to see the crypto markets stabilizing a little bit. Got hopeful when we managed to get to $0.27 Hive for a moment or two, but it seems like we soon enough lost that ground... oh well, we can but hope.

Still 670 Hive Power short of reaching my 2025 goal... wonder if I will make it?

No big deal if I don't, but it would be nice to make it!

We got some fresh greenery yesterday... even cats eat their veggies, sometimes.

And that's about all we have for this week's Caturday update!

Considering adding some more posts during the week, but we'll just have to see how energetic I feel.

Thanks for coming to visit our little cat blog, and I hope you have a great Sunday!

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

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!
