Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

We're coming down towards the end of the month of October and today we celebrate the final Caturday of this month!

Nala and Shangri

As you well know by now, Caturday is my favorite day of the week... that day when we all get to celebrate cats online with pictures of cats!

Of course we continue to have lots of cat activities around here because Shangri and Nala offer up such good photographic material.

Shadow and Nala, sharing a bed!

In the last week or so Shadow and Nala really seemed to have bonded.

That is to say, Nala seems to be almost stalking Shadow, and wherever he goes there she is... often climbing into his bed or on top of wherever he's laying, trying to get his nap. Shadow doesn't seem to mind too much, and we think he really enjoys the closeness of another cat after having been "single cat" for a long time.

Brother Shangri is not too bothered by the situation and seems to spend a lot of time examining what the Dad-Hooman is doing with his work.

A nice quiet routine in the house seems to have settled in, and the kittens — who are now "young cats" — are enjoying their new lives with us here... so far removed from being orphans in a noisy animal shelter.

Sleepy Shangri, chilling...

The Hoomans say that they have had many many cats in their lives over the years and these two are definitely two of the most sweet natured cats we have had in our world!

They seem to have completely gotten over their initial skittishness except for an occasional sudden loud noise now and then and... they're both extremely affectionate as cats go.

The sheepskin on our old bench is a favorite napping spot!

All three cats now sleep together at the foot of the Hoomans' bed, and the Mom-Hooman — who is the one who watches the most television — often has two cats in her lap.

Nobody seems to mind the arrangement too much!

Nala, posing prettily!

Our old Smudge only interacts with the kittens occasionally. She's definitely the "Old Lady Cat" of the household, and is just not into kittenish games anymore.

But everyone still gets along just fine!

Well, it seems that "crazy kitty hour" has started, with lots of fast running through the house! Time to get back to that!

We appreciate you stopping by our cat blog, and hope your Caturday was a wonderful one... and have a great 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!
