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.
Integral Kitty of the Week!
Out of darkness, in and of his environment.

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:
Wow! I've been really taken by last weeks images. The sorrow that we all will encounter, the beauty of the season, images that are thought provoking, humorous, or reflect the kitties we have known and loved. Certainly a whole array of moods and meanings. Thank you so much!
And now 2024 comes to its close. Some of our kitty friends are gone. Some have weathered health issues. Some have become new members of the family and are new faces in this forum. :) Thank you for making the Sunday Cat! a place for us to share images of our kitties or those we encounter, and the stories they write into our lives. Mr. Me and I wish everyone a happy 2025 and all the best to you in the coming year! :D

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