Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and outlying areas!
Welcome to the final Caturday of the winter season — at least if you're here in the Northern Hemisphere! On Monday we welcome Spring, and with it, longer days and a gradual warming... and you all know how much we cats love our warmth!
Afternoon sun in the "Cat Condo!"
We'll be glad to see winter go for another year! Warmer days also means I get to start going outside on the deck with the Hoomans again... one of my favorite things. They don't let me roam loose, of course, because we have lots of eagles and coyotes (and worse!) around here.
Continuing to Consider the "Community" Series!
Lest week, I briefly mentioned the idea of potentially starting an ongoing series of articles about Hive's many communities, visiting and "studying" them, one at a time. I know so many of us slowly accumulate bits of Hive-Engine tokens in our wallets... but how, and to what end?
Playing in the stairwell...
If nothing else, I would like to learn more about some of these communities I have gradually become "invested" in... and it's also an opportunity to dissect what makes some communities successful, and others not so much.
We talk a lot about "building community," but who does it well, and who doesn't? And what is each one hoping to accomplish? And why do some take off running... and then suddenly dies?
These are all good questions, I think!
Smudge playing peek-a-boo. Yes, we've scratched the heck out of that door!
Speaking of Communities...
Yes, we even have a Cat community of our own: Hive Cats!
No we don't have a token or anything fancy like that, but we are trying to build a bit of a gathering place for Hivelandia's cat lovers. Up to 175 members, so far... hope to keep building! And yes, it's definitely a learning experience.. as well as a lot of work... to get a community established!
Sunshine!
Meanwhile, I am getting ready for my birthday! It's getting very close, now... but that's for a separate post!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of your Caturday... and weekend!

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!
