    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.

    Congenial Kitty of the Week!

    Friends

    The best of friends. :D So fitting at this time of year.

    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:
    Thanks all for the very lively Sunday Cat! last week! It gives one a warm and fuzzy feeling to connect that way at the end of the year. :D And now the biggest holidays are immediately before us. For me I have already received the gift of Mr. Me getting better. Unfortunately, his eye problem will always be with him, but now that the cause is identified it can be treated and managed, bringing hope he won't encounter issues so serious again that would threaten the loss of an eye.

    To all the kitties and their admirers, best wishes during this holiday week! I hope you that you share the gift of photography with the people you love and here with the people who love kitties. :)

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

    I probably made this a little harder than it should have been by generating such as small image (1600px on the long edge and 72dpi).

    Reposting here for Stan to reveal the kitty's location. ;)

    Coco, in the hug of her father, passed away at about 9 years old (from Jan 2016 - Dec 2024).
    Now she is an angel with freedom to do anything and is free of disease and pain.

    Always so sad when they pass away.

    Get another cat, they bring so much to our lives.
