Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities! We have arrived at the weekend once again and weekends are my favorite time because they include Saturday and that means Caturday!

We can really tell that we're starting to come down to what towards the end of summer — the days are definitely getting shorter and the light is not as sharp, and today also happens to be the last Saturday in the month of August!

Soon, we will start to see autumn leaves on the trees... and there are fall storms around the corner; the beginning of what we consider "indoor season" at our place.

Things are fairly quiet around our neck of the woods. The Hoomans have been pretty busy with their gardening again and they're still harvesting their fruits and vegetables which is kind of fun because I get to run away with green things they bring into the house, every now and then!

Meanwhile, this next Wednesday will be the Dad-Hooman's birthday so we're going to have a little celebration here and my understanding is that there's going to be fish involved in the picture (as that happens to be one of his favorite foods!) and that usually means that there's going to be a little bit of fish set aside for the cats as well!

Meanwhile, it seems that the Cryptosphere continues to scrape along bottom, doing what some people call "the summer doldrums." And it does definitely seem like there's not much good news these days so I guess the best we can do is just hold on and keep going forward!

Hopefully these bad times will come to an end... eventually!

Seems more than a few people here in Hivelandia are getting a little restless and worried, and there are various discussions about "what we can do" to make things better. I have my own ideas about that... but that's for a whole separate post!

Smudge is doing well; she's enjoying the fact that there is still sunshine in some of her favorite spots to sleep and she's particularly appreciative of the fact that the Dad-Hooman trimmed a couple of trees outside the living room windows where she likes to nap, which means she is getting a few more sunny spots.

Sunny spots are always a good thing, in the world of cats!

And this that, dear folks, I'm going to get back to my own naptime! Thanks for coming to visit, and have a lovely rest of your weekend!

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? Many of the allow you to share your cat posts, even if you started at a different community!

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.

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!
