:-)) Sunday Cat! #855 March 3, 2024 ((-:

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.

Aristocratic Kitty of the 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

Thread Manager's Corner:
It was a quiet week for the Sunday Cat! but KitKat's lovely portrait is still a stand out! :) I've been very much caught up in trying to manage Palmer's wellness. Several meds with differing requirements to schedule and just trying to get him to eat enough to sustain himself. Some days it looks we'll have him for a few more months, and on others it looks like time is getting short. In between, not much photography for my part. I look forward to what others can share here.

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

It looks like there could be a story behind Milo's photo. Is he dreaming about KitKat? Or wishing he could go out and play too? Or... :)

The Battle for the High Ground (part 1 of many)
Arni looking up at Lexi as the two of them try
to decide who gets to the top of the ladder.
Generally it depends of who jumps on the post first and
sometimes there is a disagreement as we see here.
Its all for fun and great entertainment for us humans.
No cats were injured in this apparent battle.

Glad that no cats were harmed in the making of the image! I have to admit that with Mr. P and Mr. Me, I can't really be sure. And now with Mr. P nearing the end of his life, he's not in a good spot to play or defend himself so I take all of Mr. Me's antagonisms seriously. That looks like a wonderful sturdy tree that they have there. Certainly looks like there are good opportunities for upstairs / downstairs moments like that for play. :)

So sorry to hear about Mr. P, always a hard time to deal with.
Our cat family enjoys the cat tree, sometimes all three together
or one at a time. A vertical playground.
