Greetings all Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia! I hope this day finds you all happy and healthy!
Guess what? It’s CATURDAY once more... my favorite day of the week! So it's time to share your photos of your favorite felines.
Soaking up the sun!
Life has been pretty quiet around here, because the Mom-Hooman has been out of town housesitting for the Daughter-Hooman this week. The house is always very quiet when she is not here. The Dad-Hooman does do a pretty good job of paying attention to me and making sure I am happy in her absence, but I have to admit but I prefer it when both of them are around!
Even though she is not here, I still like to hang out in the Mom-Hooman's office...
I'm glad to see that it seems like there's a bit more activity here in our online community. There really isn't anything else like Hive out there, and I really hope that the various community initiatives for marketing and publicity bring us some new life.
The thing about community building, is that it does require a lot of patience. Hive is only a little more than a year old and we're still quite a long way from hitting ”critical mass” around here.
I see you! I love playing in the stairwell... sometimes I pounce on the dog!
Of course, part of the challenge is that everybody who is involved in the Cryptosphere is so accustomed to everything happening at lightning pace. Some things — such as building a dynamic and thriving community — just don't happen overnight.
Many of the virtual communities I have been part of in the past have taken as long as five to six years to fully hit their stride.
Anyway, I'm just planning to continue doing my own thing while trying to interact and engage as much as possible with the limited time I have on hand. If everyone does their little bit, the growth will happen faster than we can imagine... and then we'll be wondering where the "quiet days" went!
Sunshine cat!
Of course — as is the case with most large things being developed over time — some version of the "Pareto Principle" inevitably applies to community building. Meaning that it will be a relatively small proportion of the community that stands behind carrying out the majority of the work.
That's not a fault or flaw nor a place to lay blame — and there's not much you can do about it — it just seems to simply be a fact of how things operate in this world.
Thanks for stopping by I'm looking at my post and I hope you're all having a wonderful Caturday!

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? Remember, you can also "cross-post" your cat posts to them!
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 Community 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! It has a lot of subscribers but is not very active.
Cats by @captainklaus (and Sissi!) is another "general" cat content community; it's there, but not very active.
Last, but certainly not least, a special shoutout to the recently formed Hive Pets Community which has become quite active and has quite a bit of cat content!
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!
