Greetings, Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!
Hard to believe but we have already made it to the month of August, and since today is Saturday, that means we have made it to the first Caturday in August.
A rare shot of all three cats together!
So much of 2025 is already in the books... and now we are moving into "late summer." Where did all that time go?
In any case, we all hope you have had — or are still having — a wonderful Caturday and enjoying time with your Feline friends!
Shangri in the sun!
We are having a fairly quiet weekend here, with the Hoomans busily engaged in their creative projects... which we cats of course love to get in the middle of!
The sunny spots have been somewhat substandard today, mostly because there are forest fires in the surrounding areas, so the sky is dark and dirty enough to make the sun very "filtered."

We don't mind too much because there's no shortage of things for cats to get into!
This coming week, the Mom-Hooman is off to Seattle again to spend more time with the Daughter-Hooman and the new grandbaby. Have to make the most of the time we have, because in no time kids grow up.
Sister and brother, all grown up
We are also getting close to Shangri and Nala's first anniversary of arriving here at our place... they have grown so much, from very nervous large kittens to happy and much beloved cats.
It has definitely been an example of everyone involved "winning the cat lottery!"
Layers of cats! We love the giant cat condo!
No big plans for the month of August, other than slowly moving forward with our Hive goals, and continuing to maintain the cat blog.
We've got a few "other ideas" in the works, as well, so there might be more. Thinking I might start writing about community building. After all, we have almost 8 years on Hive...
Napping comfortably. The Dad-Hooman's work chair is nice and comfortable... and sometimes sunny!
With the crypto markets being somewhat weak at the moment, I'm hoping to use some of our liquid earnings to stack a few more "investment tokens" that pay steady dividends over time.
I have always enjoyed Hive-Engine based projects that have "drip" dividends in various other tokens... because they bring things we would not otherwise have known about to our attention.

Our old fuzzy housemate Smudge seems to be having a bit of a "renewal," and has become more energetic again. She's really quite remarkable for cat with 20 summers under her belt!
She's a bit stiff in the hindquarters, but she still gets around pretty adequately. Because she is almost blind and not so sure footed, we have made the house so she can only stay in the top level area of the house... we don't want to risk her losing her footing trying to go down the stairs.

And that's about all we have for this week's Caturday update... time to get this posted while it still is Saturday, at least here.
We appreciate you coming to visit our cat blog, and hope to see you again!

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!
