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.
Not Me! Kitty of the Week!
Sammy, it wasn't me, I didn't do it, it was somebody else! :D

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:
Well, knocking on the biggest piece of wood I can find, the new fence in the backyard, Mr. Me seems to have finally had his eye issues stabilized. He certainly isn't out of the woods yet, but at least we know what dosage keeps it from getting worse, a pretty high dosage of four different meds, unfortunately. Hopefully the stability means that he can lose the collar without taking it off himself, which he did twice this last week! I can appreciate his distaste for it. It's like he has blinders on, giving him problems trying to find his treats (i.e. pills) when I toss them for him, as well as not being able to groom himself. Each time he's managed to get the collar off while I'm away I come back to a cat with a spotless face! Then I have to put the darn thing back on, much to his dismay. Poor guy. We're hoping all the other kitties are doing well and don't have to face any medical issues like he is.
