Greetings, Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia!

Well, we have "big news" today, at least at a personal level: The Curator Cat blog has now surpassed 5,000 Hive Power!

It may not be much of a deal in the greater context of Everything, but for us it was a goal we set many years ago as a personal challenge to see whether a Hive blog that focuses only on cat content, could actually get that far.

As it turns out, we could get that far!

"Curator Cat" started with an original US $50 investment to get a little initial Hive Power, and everything else has been the result of sharing cat photos — lot of cat photos — and sharing the lives of the cats with the Hive community!

And we naturally are very appreciative of all the support we have had, and all the friends we have made along the way!

Of course, things are a little more interesting (and active!) these days with the arrival of Shangri and Nala back in October!

They will certainly help us come up with plenty of "source material" in the years ahead.

Photographing cats is fun — and often frustrating, particularly if you are trying to get a specific shot!

But we keep after it, and usually the Hoomans manage to come up with a few useful shots among the hundreds they end up taking!

Yes, we're a little obsessed with cats around here... but we also know that lots of Hoomans out there are a little obsessed with cats... and that's why we keep on doing this!

Anyway, now that we have arrived at this milestone, the next stop we're shooting for will be 10,000 Hive Power. Getting here took since March 2018... hopefully the next stop will be reached in less that seven years!

And then there's Smudge, who will soon be 20!

Well, we are going to save the rest of the goods for Caturday... but today was our Milestone day!

Thanks for visiting our cat blog, and we look forward to seeing you again!

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 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 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!

Cats by Hive account@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!
