Merry Christmas Caturday Greetings From Curator Cat and Smudge!

Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and all her surrounding communities!

Today is a day of family and celebration for many Hoomans around the world, and I wish you all the very best, today and in all days ahead! Of course, this year Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, which means we have a Christmas Caturday!

Pork roast? What pork roast? I have no idea what you're talking about...!

It was a quiet day for the Hoomans because the adult Hooman-Kids had their own celebrations to go to in Seattle, so there were just a couple of close friends visiting.

Besides, there is a lot of that stuff you guys call "snow" forecast for today, so nobody really wanted to be out driving around on a holiday weekend when nobody's really sure whether or not the snowplow drivers are even working.

I only came up on the kitchen counter so I could look out the window...

There were special treats for the cats, of course... and because we are comfortable and familiar with the Hoomans who came to visit, there were lots of pets and also the inevitable fun of playing with gift wrapping.

Unfortunately, I got banned from the room with the Christmas stuff because I started chewing on some ribbon... but it was just soooo tempting!

Meanwhile, Smudge has gotten comfortable enough to no longer hide from strangers, and we consider that another bog step forward.

Pay attention to ME!

The Hooman-friends left shortly after the snow started falling, around 3:30 this afternoon. They need to traverse a (smaller) mountain pass to get home, and didn't want to chance twisty hilly roads with snow.

So, then all got quiet, and it was naptime! I fell asleep right before the snow started sticking... but my belly was so nice and full!

We cats do love sleeping in a circle!

Even the Mom-Hooman is taking nap now... big meals in the middle of the day seems to do that, for Cats and Hoomans, alike!

I took a short break from my own nap to go stand on the Dad-Hooman — who was trying to read a book — to remind him that even though it might be Christmas, it's also Caturday and we really need to make a post on Hive!

So here we are!

Smudge did NOT get up from her nap...

Anyway, here's hoping you and your families... Feline and Hooman, alike... are having a wonderful Caturday Christmas Weekend!

Now... back to my nap!

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!
