Curator Cat: Smudge Befriends Daisy the Dog... and Hive-Engine Community Musings

in HiveCats2 years ago

Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding territories!

Just a quicker "news update" today... because sometimes it's a good idea to simply get things written down "in the now," rather than trying to remember them till the next Caturday!

Smudge and Daisy

Cats and Dogs as Friends!

As you've no doubt noticed from some of my past posts, I'm pretty good buddies with our dog, Daisy. She took on the role of "substitute mama" when I was a wee kitten, and has always put up with my pouncing on her, and climbing all over her.

Well, today another Cat-Dog friendship started when we caught newcomer Smudge sleeping butt-to-butt with Daisy on the couch!

It's nice to see that they are friends, as well. Smudge did live with a couple of large dogs at her previous home... so dogs are nothing new to her.

The Hoomans often find ME and Daisy sleeping like this!

The "Joy" of Hive-Engine...

One of the things I really enjoy about the greater Hive community is precisely the "Greater" Hive community, made up of literally hundreds of tribes... many of which even have their own internal cryptocurrency tokens!

In my years of being here — and being a participant since the very first PAL tokens were airdropped to users back on the "old" chain — I have gradually ended up with lots of different tokens in my Hive-Engine wallet.

Anyway, on the note of "what to do," I'm considering starting a series of posts that's about exploring some all these communities to see what they are really about, and how active and thriving they are... all in pretty plain English even a cat can understand!

It's not easy to start and run a community... and many fall by the wayside, and some just slowly wither away.

Just thought it might make an interesting "hobby project!" AND I might learn about a few things I otherwise didn't know much about! Of course, I'm quite opinionated, so there would probably be a bit of editorializing, as well!

Still very much on the drawing board... but it sounds like something that might keep me occupied for a while!

And with that... thanks for visiting, and have a lovely remainder of your week!

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!
