Greetings Felines and Hoomans of Steamlandia!

Checking in with a somewhat late Caturday message because Saturday means Caturday, and Caturday is my favorite day of the week!

Did you know that we have actually had Caturday for a long time?

Most old web nerds are pretty much in agreement that Caturday started and maybe 2004 or 2005 on giant forum web host site 4chan. If you’re interested in reading more about the history of Caturday, I wrote a post about it several years ago.

What's perhaps not talked about so often is the fact that the popularity of Caturday significantly contributed to making cats more or less the "unofficial mascot" of the Internet. Regardless of whether you're a cat fancier or not, you have probably noticed that cats are repeatedly used to create memes and to convey various forms of humor.

But enough about that! We've had a nice quiet Caturday around here — above all, we've been enjoying a sunny day even though the local weather forecast called for gray and possibly rainy. Of course I love sunny days because I get to take naps in the sun puddles! And what cat doesn't love feeling the warmth of the sun on its belly while having a nice nap…

In the meantime, I've been pondering what we might be able to do to kick some life back into the Fur-friends Community. Everything seemed to be going great with lots of activity for a while and then things ground to a halt. That seems like a great shame, because the good Hoomans of Steemit include lots of pet lovers.

I'd love to see this community get back to its prior activity level so I'm kind of thinking about what we might be able to do.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful Caturday!
