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

I hope this final Caturday of August is treating you well, and if you live in a place that is observing Labor Day (or a Bank Holiday) on Monday, that you are enjoying your long weekend!

Morning sun

It's amazing that we have already reached the end of another month... now we are two-thirds of the way through the year 2025. Where did time go?

Today also happens to be the Dad-Hooman's birthday, so we are sharing Caturday with the festivities... although birthdays generally are pretty low key affairs around our place.

Smudge, in the sun

Meanwhile, the Mom-Hooman is recovering pretty well from her bad back. It was a pretty sad situation, because — for a while — she couldn't even bend down to pet a cat! The horror!

Thankfully, she's on the mend now, and feeling much better! She was even able to bake the Dad-Hooman a birthday cake.

Shangri and Nala in their favorite sleeping spot.

Overall, August was not much of a month to write home about. The Hoomans were pretty stressed about the longer term decline in their work... and the crypto markets certainly weren't much of anything to celebrate, either.

The Hoomans were also sad because their vegetable garden was beset by a lot of pests, but since we're not outdoor cats, we couldn't really help with that.

Afternoon sun

Otherwise, everyone is doing well. We are actually about to celebrate the first anniversary of Shangri and Nala becoming part of our household!

Hard to believe they have already been with us for a whole year!

Sister and brother

And that's about where we end things... since the Dad-Hooman says he's tired after the day's festivities... and that's OK!

We appreciate you coming by to check out our cat blog, and hope your Caturday was a good one!

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!
