Greetings, Fine Felines and Hoomans of Steemlandia!
Well, the old year is winding down, and we have now reached the final Caturday of 2024! We do this every week, and I still love sharing cat photos on this my favorite day of the week!
Life in the cat condo!
All in all, 2024 has been a pretty difficult year, although we have had a few bright moments that we feel grateful for.
Biggest of these would be the arrival of Shangri and Nala in our little cat family.
Two nervous kittens, late August this year
Well, those nervous little kittens — having spent six weeks at the animal shelter — are now happily settled into our home and they are an integral part of the family!
Nala is forever curious and getting into everything, while Shangri is more gentle and reserved, and overall one of the sweetest cats we have ever known!
Shangri and Nala today
We look forward to continue sharing their photos and experiences in the year to come!
Meanwhile, our senior citizen kitty Smudge continues to amaze us with her continue well-being and energy. Whereas she doesn't engage all that much with the youngsters, she's still a much beloved part of the household!
Smudge is basically a fluffball!
As you can see from the photo above, Smudge now has her full winter coat. She's large part Norwegian Forest Cat, meaning that she grows in a massive winter fur, originally designed to keep her breed nice and warm as a working cat in hard freeze temperatures.
And yes, we do have to give her a shave in late spring, because her hair just keeps growing.

We haven't yet made any firm plans or goals for 2024, and we may not make any, at all. Well, we will endeavor to continue posting at least once a week as we have been since starting the Curator Cat blog.
It has been very nice to see our Steem token gaining some ground lately... this time not being dependent on movement in Bitcoin.
What are you looking at?
At this point, it actually looks possible that we might end the year with the price of Steem slightly higher than when we started the year!
Will 2025 be a great year for those of us involved in the Cryptosphere? I suppose that remains to be seen... I have never been much good at predicting these things.
Smudge!
For now, we'd just like to thank everyone for coming to visit our little cat blog, and for your support in the course of 2024! I hope your Caturday was a good one, and that the rest of your weekend will be, as well!
