    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.

    Excluded Kitty of the Week!

    Street Cats of Istanbul

    This kitty is not happy about being refused entry after he was ejected for attacking a kitten being cared for inside. :(

    ~~Image by @Kumsal

    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

    Last week's purrs, #903 / DPRv #96

    Thread Manager's Corner:
    Last week had some truly excellent images, as well as some fun ones and the prospect of something new (gear wise and image wise) on the horizon! Good stuff! After a little editing I'll have some images to post as well. Stay tuned! :)

    Mokey relaxing in the warm sunshine on my lap. I charged the battery in my long unused Nikon D90 and, as expected, it worked
    like new.. The files have plenty of resolution (12 mp) though the dynamic range, focusing speed and noise are clearly better on my much newer mirrorless
    cameras (Oly and Fuji) which I much prefer to use.

    Very much a look of longing in that first one. And then a special moment when something really catches his attention in the second. I always think of cats as more likely to look up than other animals. Always probing the possibilities up above. They belong to the worlds of down and up, but up seems to be the most attractive to them.

    He looks a little startled. Maybe it was the sound of the mirror flipping up and down? In his young life he's probably never heard that before! That Nikon still does a nice job though. :)

    There can be no higher purpose for a new lens than to photograph our kitties! :D

    Looks like there could be a little uncertainty in trusting one another. :)
