Greetings Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia!

It's finally Saturday again... and you all know what that means: It's CATURDAY!

So get out your cat photos and share!

Finally, the Smoke is Gone!

Seems like it has been a very long week. Everybody has felt a little moody and depressed around the house because we've been sitting under a thick layer of smoke from the many wildfires burning across the western US states.

Normally, we have some of the cleanest air in North America — which is why being outside is a joy — but it has been pretty miserable for a while... until this morning, we finally woke up to THIS:

It's interesting how we all become listless and lethargic, and all the creative juices grind to a halt when dealing with this:

11 days of bad air, including "hazardous..." Source

But things are better now!

Fall is Almost Here!

In just a couple more days it will officially be Fall. We are already seeing the effects of shorter days, and the Hoomans are starting to spend more time inside...

... which also means there will be more time for my blog, and sharing cat photography!

First, though, I got to take a nice walk around the upper deck of the house.

Meanwhile, I am continuing to work on developing and publicizing the Hive Cats Community in hopes of getting a more cohesive group of cat content creators going!

Of course, that's all a long and slow process, but I am patient!

Also hoping to find time for more regular posting — which requires the Dad-Hooman to get off his but and take more cat pictures — as we come into the winter season. It saddens me that we have slacked off a bit on this blog... and would like to rekindle some of the old plans/ideas we had, way back when on Steem.

I suppose the lesson there is just that old truism: "The only constant in life is change!"

Anyway, that's about it for now... I'm going to get back to my Caturday napping!

Hope everyone has had a great 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 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!

Cats by @captainklaus (and Sissi!) is another "general" cat content community.

Last but certainly not least, don't forget the dPet Community created by @kona, which is the original pet related "channel," and which typically also has lots of cat photos! This is also the home of the Daily Pet Photography challenge!

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!
