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

Seems like time flies when you have kittens, and somehow we have already arrived at the last Caturday in September, and the last Caturday in the 3rd quarter of 2024!

Nala gets to be our headliner, today!

Yes, it is Caturday... my favorite day of the week! Although... these days, it seems like we pretty much have non-stop Caturday around here, since the arrival of Shangri and Nala!

Anyway, it is time for another Cat and Kitten photo extravaganza... I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, as well!

Gathering around the "adult" cat food bowl

Up to this point, the kittens have had free run of the upstairs part of the house, but now comes the next "phase" of integration, as they get to explore the downstairs area!

Downstairs is where the Dad-Hooman has his home office — with lots of things stored in little boxes and containers — and it's also where the big TV is, and where the Mom-Hooman keeps all her inventory for her online Poshmark store!

Playing with kittens is a LOT of work!

There are lots of hiding places downstairs, and lots of furniture to get under, which is why the Hoomans delayed kitten access here for a while, until they relaxed a little and and didn't immediately just want to hide under something, all the time.

But this weekend, they will get to see that there is more to the house... with some Hooman supervision, of course.

Sleeping in the Mom-Hooman's office

Meanwhile, the Hoomans had to remind me that I used to play with Daisy the dog, who was large and 50+ lbs, so I would launch myself at her full force and it would be OK.

I am learning to play less "forcefully" with the kittens, who are a lot of fun, but so far have only grown to about 5lbs each... it's not like broadsiding the dog, and they do find it a bit rough.

Shangri, being a very LONG cat!

The idea here is that we all need to be friends and nice to each other. But it has been a long time since I have been around young playful creatures.

I also have to remember that I am an 8-year old cat who likes to just nap in peace, while they are young and filled with energy, and always ready to climb all over me!

Dinnertime, in the kitchen. Everyone eats together, now.

They do make for a lot of fun and cute photos, though, and the Hoomans are always pulling out their phones/cameras to take pictures of their antics.

And yes, they do remember to pay attention to me, and take pictures of me, as well!

I may be sleeping, but I'm still watching you!

Smudge mostly watches the proceedings and roughhousing from the safety of her bed behind the baby gate between the living room and the hallway. The Hoomans close the door between regularly, so she can have her peace and quiet when it all gets to be "too much" for her.

In other news, it's certainly nice to see the Crypto markets show signs of life again!

I don't know if this means we're on the verge of an actual turnaround, and I am not holding my breath. For now, I am just grateful that our Hive token is back above $0.20... and if we have an actual altcoin rally, that will just be a lovely bonus, in my book.

Kittens in the sun

Since I am a long term players and rarely buy or sell, I'm mostly just watching everything unfold with with interest.

Not sure what sort of impact the US Presidential election will have on the Cryptosphere... you Hoomans are very interesting, with all the intensity you apply to your whole political show. Take a hint from us cats... and just relax about it... the world will still be here tomorrow!

Chilling on the bed...

Well, better get this published while it's still Caturday... still a few minutes to go!

I hope your day was a good one, and we appreciate you visiting our cat blog! Have a beautiful Sunday!
