Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!

I hope this new week is treating you well so far, and that you had an excellent holiday weekend!

Curator Cat as a tiny kitten, right after arriving at his "Forever Home."

Today — May 26th — is a very special day around here, because it marks the 10th anniversary of my Hoomans adopting this tiny, scrawny black kitten with the excessively large ears from the local animal shelter!

It was actually the Daughter-Hooman who spotted me at the back of one of the enclosures, saying "Look, there's a little black one!" So, we dug up some kitten pictures from 10 years ago, for the occasion!

The Hoomans chose me immediately because they knew that black cats tend to be the last ones to be adopted, mostly because of old superstitions.

Of course, these are nonsense, and we all know that black cats make very loving and loyal feline companions!

Climbing the sofa and exploring my new surroundings!

As far as the Hoomans are concerned, we all "won the cat lottery" and everyone feels grateful and happy that we have gotten to share our lives.

Along the way, I have gotten to know other animal companions no longer with us, like BeBe and Kramer, and Daisy the dog... and new ones have joined us, like Smudge, Shangri and Nala.

Kitten in the sun!

It's interesting to consider that we have been publishing the "Curator Cat" blog for the majority of my life — it has been over eight years, now!

Hopefully, we'll keep going for many more years to come!

Thanks for stopping by to visit our little cat blog... we hope to see you again soon!

In the meantime, have a wonderful week!

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 Hive account@curatorcat is a central "gathering place" for cat content on Hive; promoting the use of the #hivecats tag for feline content!

Cat Snaps by Hive account@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 Hive account@saboin is a community where we get to celebrate posts relating to Saturday — aka "Caturday" — our own special day!

Cat Photos by Hive account@andrarchy is a "mixed use" cat content community; posts can be just photos or longer, as long as the subject is CATS!

Cats by Hive account@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!
