Welcome all to the Sunday Cat!, a weekly gathering of image makers on a subject of mutual interest, our feline friends. The Sunday Cat! has appeared each Sunday, except for a brief interruption in September, 2016, since Anton AK started the thread at DPReview on 23 September 2007. Successive thread managers have been John King, Warriormouse, Robert J, Coldamus, Robert J again (with an assist by StanTsui) and since September 2016, former lurker, me. With the announced shuttering of DPReview (which did not happen), the last Sunday Cat! there was hosted on 2 April 2023. After taking a leap of faith, the Sunday Cat! landed here at its new home on 9 April 2023.
Street Kitty of the Week!
Another in the amazing series of images of the Street Cats of Istanbul by @Kumsal. Besides the image quality, what makes them so special is that if feels like you see the inner self of the kitties who are portrayed. :)
As said by Warriormouse, "Photos can be more than just art, they can be memories, so come share your picture and stories of your feline companions with us."
“Official” posting time is every Sunday at 0000 UTC. Because this is Saturday afternoon for me, posting time may vary to accommodate my schedule. I'll try to post a message if I know I will be very late. Anyone anxious to start the new week is free to do so. But if you do, please PM me so I don’t accidentally double post.
Come one, come all! All cats, all cameras welcome. Images from any time, any place. Let the Sunday Cat! be a refuge where nice comments abound and only constructive criticism is given when it's requested.
The Sunday Cat! is now open for business. :D

Thread Manager's Corner:
Very late but posted nevertheless! (Been home for about an hour now.) It was a bit slow this past week, but this site as a whole has been slow, especially since DPReview shook off its closing. I've been loosely following the conversation about future plans for this website, making it more photocentric. The Sunday Cat! seems to sit between gear and image critique, as it can be about the cats as much or more than the images, so I'm not sure how it fits in the new plan. I'll continue to follow with some interest the "new facilities" thread and also hope to join the Zoom call next month. Now on to what we really came here for! ;)
