:-)) Sunday Cat! #879 August 18, 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. 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.

Ambivalent Kitty of the Week!

Mr. Me, while appreciative of the acclaim, still wants to call the "shots" on his modeling career. ;)

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

Last week's purrs, #878 / DPRv #71

Thread Manager's Corner:
Last week's images each captured a different mood of our feline friends. This week, will they show us more moods? Or maybe some other aspects of their lives? Will Mr. Me make a repeat appearance? And finally, what are the kitties doing for World Photography Day, which is Monday the 19th? Will they be thinking about the history of photography? How far it's come? Participate in the the "black cat at midnight in a coal bin" camera challenge? I guess we'll see. :)

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

August 19, 2024 is world photography day.
What does than mean? Get those photos of
cats up for all to see. Camera phone or the
latest mirrorless (or try a pinhole camera)
get it off the shelf, charge the battery and have
at it.

The look seems to say, well, I wanted a cardboard box but I guess I can work with this. ;)

Speaking of cardboard boxes. Mr. Me is very found of them. :)

Here he is catching some z's last week while curled up in Fort Mee.

Then on Saturday I caught him snoozing in his window box. :)

And on World Photography Day he decided to pose in the hallway next to another of his cardboard boxes. :D

After wearing himself out by posing for me in the morning, he retreated to Fort Mee in the afternoon for some R&R and the expectation to not be disturbed any further...
