    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.

    Intense Kitty of the Week!

    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:
    Happy Groundhog Day! :) If you don't have any groundhogs to photograph, then a nearby feline will do. :D I still don't have my primary computer restored, so I'm on my oldest one today, a little number from 2010. At least it still works! The primary one may get a reinstall of Windows or a new one of Linux, if I can get it to boot at all. If not, it may just get the boot and I'll copy my files from the two drives in it when I remove them... I have a nice batch of new photos to work on, so I may decide I'd rather do that then try to revive the dead machine at all. I hope everyone else is doing better digitally!

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

    I was wondering if there might have been Tweety Birds behind the window or something else to grab his attention. Viewed 1:1 you can see the look on his face in the reflection and I am guessing he is looking at himself, wondering about that other cat, as animals so often do.

    I also have to say, from your Street Cats of Istanbul series, that they all look very healthy and well cared for. This guy is a wonderful specimen and I would be proud to be his owner...
