Ah, there's nothing like a surge in the value of Hive to remind me that I haven't been posting nearly enough... so what better way to ease back into a regular posting habit than participating in one of the oldest, simplest, and most fundamental functions of the internet... sharing cat pictures!
Here's a fresh picture of my boys, Kirby and Kubert.
I've settled into a convention of naming my cats after famous comic creators, so these fluffballs are named after Jack Kirby and Joe Kubert. Since not many people know of these fine artists, it's pretty common that they assume my boys are named after the video game characters of Kirby and Q-bert. I certainly don't mind this assumption. It's particularly fitting for Kubert as both he and Q-bert are fuzzy little orange things that jump around and have a penchant for profanity. (Okay, so Kubert doesn't actually curse... but I can tell that's what he's thinking... that little boy has got an attitude!)
Kubert is just a kitten, a rescue that I've had for just over two months now. He is a handful and I must admit I've found myself Googling the question, "When the hell do kittens calm down!" He's already growing like a weed with long legs and a much leaner face than just a handful of weeks ago!
Look at that little killer adorably mauling his toy mouse!
Kirby is older and doing his best to adjust to the presence of this rambunctious little brother. I know that Kirby actually adores other cats, so I'm hopeful that as Kubert ages and calms down the two will develop a closer relationship.
Kirby is the sweetest boy, never any trouble. (I hope that rubs off on Kubert...) When it looks like Kirby is quietly judging me I simply have to accept it because one look at how handsome he is just confirms that he is in fact better than me and I must accept his disdain. 😆
So that's my little fur family at a glance. (They're actually forcing me to write this post as they want more Hive rewards to spend on catnip and kibble. If you don't hear from me again within a week, assume that I am their captive and they're slowly torturing me for all my passwords and private keys. However, if any harm should befall me let it be known they are not to be punished in any way! They're just too damn cute. I fully sanction their evil deeds.)
Omg. Beautiful pics brother.
But yes…you are a slacker. 😉
I've been meaning to get off my ass and make a Conquest pilgrimage soon! Lemmeknow if you'd be up for grabbing dinner after you close up shop sometime soon!
Absolutely brother. I'd also be down to meet up half way somewhere if heading out here is too much. Lmk and shoot me a text to set up.
Our remaining cat (we’ve had a the best dog ever and a damn fine catdog move onto their rewards over the last few months) is a bit neurotic but gets nice and happy with a combination of catnip and CBD treats. 😸
I haven't tried Kubert with catnip yet. I've tended to avoid it as I feel most of my cats have always been "mean drunks" who have tended to get aggressive after the initial buzz! Perhaps it’ll work the opposite and mellow him out a bit!
Cute cats. We have been fostering rescue cats lately and so experiencing some different attitudes. They have all been pretty good so far. I will have to check if I can post pictures of them as I know the charity is a little sensitive on that. They need a Hive account so they can raise more money.
!PIZZA
I'd love to see more animal charities on Hive! I think it's great to donate a bit with every upvote, it's a perfect use case! That's great that you're fostering. I've always considered it but am too fearful that I'd keep them all...
We have a mother and kittens right now, so it may be tempting, but our old cat is not keen on others.
@bryan-imhoff! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @steevc.
Did you know you can earn $PIZZA through Hive-Engine Diesel Pools? (2/10)
Welcome to the crazy tradition known as "Caturday," @bryan-imhoff and thanks for the intro to your felines! Hopefully we'll see more from you for future Caturdays!
Your post was featured in this week's Caturday Compendium of Cat Content, curated by the Hive Cats Community! Thank you for sharing your wonderful cat-related content on Hive!

I've heard of Kirby and have a decent selection of his work, but I've not heard of Kubert. And I will honestly admit before reading, I thought those were videogame related 🤣
