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, two years ago this week. After taking a leap of faith, the Sunday Cat! found refuge here on 9 April 2023.
Unknown Kitty Story of the Week!
N'Orleans kitty,
Riding 'round the city;
Unmindful of his cortege,
Or wheelchair cartage.

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:
Last week slipped by very quickly, especially when you have to make multiple unscheduled vet visits. Unfortunately, Mr. Me's eye problems are getting worse. Now both of his eyes are infected, and they are taking turns clouding over as we try to find what combination of meds is going to keep the virus at bay. Not a good time for me but he seems to be handling it just fine, except for all the eyedrops... Obviously, this makes him a less than wonderful subject for kitty portrait photography. So I am enjoying the other postings here very much. Let's see what the new week brings. :)
