Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

Curator Cat coming to you on a beautiful spring Saturday... and we all know that since it is Saturday, that means Caturday!

Afternoon sun! Yay!

Spring Has Sprung!

No, I am not "hung over" after my birthday party yesterday... that's a purely Hooman thing, although I did indulge in some really nice catnip!

Anyway, after what seems like a longer — and definitely colder — than usual winter, spring has suddenly arrived!

Yes, I know we're writing a blog post, but I just saw a bird!

For me, that means much improved birdwatching, and I even saw the first bunny of the season out in the yard!

Of course, it also means that we are getting more "sunshine per day," which is very important for the well-being of a cat who loves to nap in the sun puddles around the house!

Hi there! Wanna play?

Renewed Blogging Energy!

Meanwhile, the Dad-Hooman has promised me that we will have "more time" in the coming months to expand the scope of my Hive blog... and that is something I am really looking forward to!

As I have mentioned a few times, I am very interested in communities and community building, so that will be one of the things we'll definitely explore some more.

Maybe I'll just take a nap!

Yes, Cats Can Invest!

I may be a CAT, but I have my own modest crypto portfolio!

The Hoomans agreed that since my blog here earns a modest stream of liquid rewards, I should be free to do what I want with that... and I'm totally game for that!

Cats have excellent intuition, and I very much like the idea of saving up so we can fund building an outdoor "Catio" in front of the Dad-Hooman's home office window.

My dream Catio! What do you think? Source

Of course, I also wouldn't be averse to some cat treats, and maybe some of that really fancy pet store gourmet cat food!

The Hoomans seem to think I should save up for life's little uncertainties — like vet bills, and a pet sitter if they go on a trip — but I gave them a dirty look and insisted that would be their responsibility!

I think we have come to an equitable agreement!

Smudge, our old lady kitty

Smudge is Doing Well!

Our "Old Lady Kitty" is doing well, and I think it would be safe to say that she has completely settled into her new home with us.

She mostly keeps to herself, but occasionally we hang out together. One of the cool "fringe benefits" of her being here is that I am now sometimes allowed into what used to be the "cat free room," because that became her domain, during her early days here.

Oh, how things change, when circumstances change!

And with that thought, thanks for coming to visit my blog, and I hope you are all having a wonderful Caturday!

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 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!
