:-)) Sunday Cat! #844 December 17, 2023 ((-:

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.

Dreamy Kitty of the Week!

Onion, dreaming of the other kitties who will come to visit this week. :)

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

Last week's purrs, #843 / DPRv #36

Thread Manager's Corner:
It was a quiet week. Very quiet. But maybe the kitties were just out of view, waiting to pounce! Let's help make Onion's dreams come true. :D

~~~ Kim

Though small in size, the imprint they make on our lives is huge.

Mokey briefly resting on my lap. Until Lexi entered the picture. Then it was off to the races as they decided a game of tag was a grand idea.
Cats will be cats after all.

Miki just celebrated her 7th adoption anniversary on Dec 14. Her previous humans lost her to the authorities because they had kept her in a small cage outside their home 24/7. It is so sad that her previous humans did not cherish and appreciate her as she is a very human friendly cat who lives for pettings and tummy rubs.

Such a delight to see the princess again! It's unfathomable why anyone could not, would not appreciate her. Since her first visit at DPR, almost seven years ago, she has only grown more regal. :D Lovely portrait.

It looks like he was already on the lookout for an intruder!

Mr. Me and Mr. P never seem to have an amicable "fight". I think at this point Mr. P just tries to ignore Mr. Me, if he can.

Curry insists that she is not fat 😉

Hi,

Of course, she's right. She's not fat. It's that danged camera that just makes her look fat! We all know the camera always adds 10 pounds, but when you are a cat, that's a lot! :P

Stan

Of course Curry isn't fat, she's FLUFFY !

Curry thinks that next time, instead of using a moderate wide angle lens, try the 45mm f/1.2. ;)

I think the euphemism is "big-boned" 😸
