Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities! I hope everyone has had a good week, and are enjoying their weekend!

Yes, it's Saturday once more... and that means CATURDAY, my favorite day of the week!

Paying attention! What do you want, Hooman?

Sometimes You Miss One...

Sadly, we missed making a Caturday post last week, but that certainly wasn't my fault!

However, the Hoomans had this "arts and crafts show" that they went to last weekend, so there just wasn't any time left over by the time they were done, last Saturday.

One of these days I really need to learn to use a keyboard... damn that lack of opposable thumbs!

Smudge, enjoying her sunny spot... even in 80-degree weather!

Cat Photography is Fun!

It's always a lot of fun to assemble photos for the Caturday post! Much to the Hoomans' frustration, I like to play uninterested and unavailable when they show up with the camera.

Then, when they finally manage to attract my attention, I love getting up very suddenly and getting in the middle of what they are doing, while purring loudly... so they really can't get angry with me!

The result is that we get dozens of great "cat blur" photos... and this game can go on for a long* time!

The vast majority of our photos look something like this!

Summer Heat is Here!

We live in a part of the country where air conditioning is a rarity in houses... and we don't have any, either.

Which is fine, since even in mid-summer it is rare that the temperature rises much above 72 degrees (22C), but lately we've had a few days in the mid-80's and that's a bit toasty for me.

Smudge doesn't seem to mind too much... I caught her in one of her sunny spots, just a short while ago... and she seemed quite happy. Having a black fur coat — which absorbs heat — makes it too much for me, so I retire to my Cat Condo in the downstairs section of the house where it is cooler.

I like my cat condo... it's cool, and has a view!

Cryptos Stabilizing a Bit?

I have to admit that it has been somewhat of a relief to watch our Hive token slowly tick up a few notches, even in the middle of all the negative economic news coming to the surface, at least here in the USA.

I have long worried that one of the "side effects" of our hopes and wishes that crypto will "go mainstream" will be that we also become more subject to mainstream economic woes. When people are in a tough spot and don't have any money, they don't "magically" have money to invest in cryptos...

And with that thought, I will wish everyone a very Happy Caturday, and I hope you have a wonderful remainder of your 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? 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!
