Greetings marvelous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

Weekend time again, and that means CATURDAY time again!

I do love my sheepskin rug!

Getting Ready!

Today is my last day to be the only cat in the house, because tomorrow our new cat lodger "Smudge" arrives!

Smudge is an older lady kitty — she's 14 — who's coming to live with us because her Hooman is moving to the Dominican Republic and was too afraid Smudge wouldn't pass the health inspections/quarantine requirements, OR make the stressful trip there, at her age.

So we agreed to give Smudge a loving home to live out her golden years.

My Mom-Hooman has met Smudge several times and says she has a very sweet personality and mostly assumes her "liquid form" while napping on the floor.

Although I have enjoyed being the spoiled only cat in the house for a while, it'll be nice to have another of my kind here. I like Daisy — the dog — well enough, but dogs are just not the same as cats!

Smudge is used to having both other cats and dogs around, so hopefully the transition won't be too difficult for her!

The pictures here are courtesy of her Hooman Mom... and we know that she likes boxes, like all good cats!

Meanwhile... Hive Looking Good!

Meanwhile, it's nice to finally see our Hive token showing some strength at a time when most of the Cryptosphere has been looking a little bit shaky.

"Critical Mass" is an interesting thing, when it comes to projects and businesses.

We look at some of the huge successes in the world — Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Microsoft — and find their numbers amazing... but we often overlook the fact that they typically went sideways for as much as 5-10 years before everything suddenly took off.

I also like that things are pretty much "holding steady" around the $1.00 mark, about since the end of HiveFest.

Slow but steady growth that lasts is far better than crazy moonshots that collapse a week later! Not as exciting, perhaps... but I'm here for the long run, not for next week's pizza money!

And with that, I wish everyone a beautiful weekend and Caturday! 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 Hive account@curatorcat is a central "gathering place" for cat content on Hive; promoting the use of the #hivecats tag for feline content!

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

Cat Photos by Hive account@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 Hive account@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 recently formed Hive Pets Community which has become quite active and 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!
