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

I hope this Caturday finds everyone happy and well!

What was THAT?

A Windy Day!

I've been sitting by the window, watching things fly by. Normally, that means bird watching, but today it means all sorts of things, because it is mighty windy around our area... and there are leaves, branches and various types of debris flying around!

Days like these make me feel very happy and grateful to be an indoor cat! Wouldn't want to be out there and having to fend for myself on a day like this... "nice fur coat" notwithstanding!

Meanwhile, the Hoomans are "praying" that the electricity stays on... weather like this often knocks the power out.

On the Dad-Hooman's desk, waiting to start blogging!

Kitten Chat... Again!

The Hoomans have once again started talking about kittens! As in, adding a couple of shelter kittens to the household.

Of course, they are quite right that our Smudge is now 15 years old... and not really much of a playmate for me. She likes to just keep to herself and is not that much for companionship.

They (the Hoomans) think it would be "good for me" to have a couple of younger cats — perhaps littermates — to boss around! We've always had between 2-4 cats in the past, and having two young ones would make the transition when Smudge crosses the Rainbow Bridge a little less... lonely.

Crypto Markets Leaving the Basement?

Meanwhile, I suppose we are all breathing a bit of a sigh of relief to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies cautiously move up the stair a bit from the basement.

I'm sure this is nothing like a "bull market," but even just the fact that we're back to the range where we were before the FTX scandal makes me happy! And a bit relieved...

I'm just a cat, blogging his way to a small savings investment (we started here with just a 50 USD investment!), but I have to admit that things were getting a bit bleak and depressing around the holidays.

Not planning to cash out or anything... just glad to see some "green numbers!"

"Recruiting" For the Hive Cats Community!

One of my ambitions (and pet projects) on Hive is the Hive Cats Community we started, almost three years ago. The idea was to create a community space for those who love cats and share cat pictures... a bit like the Caturday Community except for all the time.

After all, pretty much every day is Caturday, around here... and since cats seem to have become the most popular animals on the Internet, it only makes sense that we should have our own community, here on Hive.

Our goal is to reach 500 subscribers by the end of 2023, so we have a ways to go... little over halfway there! So if you love cats, why not check it out?

And that's about all, for this week's Caturday post. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend... and thanks for stopping by!

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? Remember, you can also "cross-post" your cat posts to them!

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 Community 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! It has a lot of subscribers but is not very active.

Cats by @captainklaus (and Sissi!) is another "general" cat content community; it's there, but not very active.

Last, but certainly not least, a special shoutout to the Hive Pets Community which has become quite active and typically has quite a bit of cat content!

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!
