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. When DPReview was threatened with closure in March 2023, the last regular 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.
Floricultural Kitty of the Week!
Elegantly posed, this street cat of Istanbul looks out at the world from behind the safety of his floral screen. :)

As said by Warriormouse, "Photos can be more than just art, they can be memories, so come share your pictures 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 may be a slow time of year for images, but it might also be that the kitties are out there among the bushes and flowers, challenging us to find them. Last week, they were discovered! This week? :) As a personal update, my fractured finger is getting better and I'm finding it possible to grip a camera now. I just need to be a little careful and try not to stress the finger. Watch out Mr. Me! I'm coming after you. :D

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