Greetings, Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

Guess what? It's my favorite day of the week! That means it must be Caturday, which happens every Saturday.

The Hoomans have put away the final remnants of the Christmas season and everything is fully back to normal now.

Today we actually had one of the very few sunny days we've had in the past six weeks or so and we cats really enjoyed getting a little sunshine and the limited number of sunny spots that appear around the house during the winter.

Shangri, waiting for treats...

The Mom-Hooman had a very busy week this week, so she decided to just take a complete day off today... which meant sitting in a chair and reading part of the time and otherwise sitting in front of the TV and binging some of her favorite shows she wanted to catch up on.

This sort of Hooman behavior is very important to cats because it means that there is a welcoming and available lap in which to take a nap!

Shangri stands guard while Shadow sleeps...

Meanwhile, the Dad-Hooman was very busy with his online work and he also spent part of the day working on his artwork, which I was happy to help him supervise.

As everyone probably realizes, creative work is best executed with supervision by a cat!

Of course the most important thing on today's agenda was to get a Caturday post illustrated and published!

Smudge found a very small sunny spot!

All in all, we're getting off to a sort of slow start to 2025. It seems that a number of things we wanted to get off and running with have run into problems and complications of one kind or another and we've just had to slow down.

The Hoomans' new range and cooktop still sits in the living room because there were no (supposedly included) parts to convert it from "natural gas" to "Propane.' An installation man is finally coming on Monday!

Nala, enjoying the view...

We had hoped to finish the big calendar of "Special Days for Cats in 2025" today, but the Dad-Hooman got too busy with other things and so we're going to have to publish it tomorrow or on Monday instead!

I never knew that cats had so many days to celebrate them but it's only right because we cats are fabulous!

That's MY toy!

And that's about all we have time for, for today's update. After all, we need to get this published while there are at least a few minutes of Caturday still left, here in our part of the world!

We appreciate you coming to visit our cat blog, and hope to see you again soon! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Love Cats? Get Involved in Hive's Cat Communities!

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!
