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! found refuge here on 9 April 2023.

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! Remember, all cats, all cameras welcome. Digital cats or silver halide cats, cats of metal, or cats of the wilderness. Big cats, small cats, kittens and their toys. Cats of pen and ink, cats of brush and canvas, from any time, any place. Let the Sunday Cat! be a refuge to enjoy and marvel at the magic of cats, where positive comments abound and constructive criticism is given if requested.
The Sunday Cat! is now open for mischief. :D

Thread Manager's Corner:
It was a quiet week here on the Internet, but an anxious week offline at home. Back on the 9th I took a number of photos of Mini-Me. I offloaded them to Lightroom, but the eyes didn't look right, one eye was always fuzzy, so I only used the one where he is looking out. I blamed the E-3 for that since it has had some focusing issues. But then a few days later I took a good look at Mr. Me's eyes and realized that the camera was right! His eye was fuzzy because it was clouding over. Yikes! So for the last 10 days or so we've been scrambling to save Mr. Me's eyesight. Did you know there are ophthalmologists for animals? I didn't 'til 9 days ago. After multiple visits and intense fear on his part, "why is this (the long drives and office visits) happening to ME?" the meds are having their effect and his eye seems to be clearing. The cause is unknown right now because test results are still pending. At least he's enjoying getting treats six times a day after each dose of eyedrops or pills. :) So the lesson here might be, believe the camera.
