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.

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, #920 / DPRv #112 / Sunday Cats! #12

Thread Manager's Corner:
Last weekend Mr. Me lost his battle with the virus attacking his eyes, and by Monday he had gone blind in his right eye. Because of the extremely high pressure in the eye, it had to be removed immediately so he had his surgery on Tuesday. His recovery requires that he be very quiet and avoid normal cat activities like jumping up and down from heights, so he is currently confined to a cage while he heals. I let him out multiple times a day when I give him his meds and food, but have to curtail his ambitions when he looks up and prepares to jump. His remaining eye is also damaged from the virus, but he seems to have enough vision left to engage in some very light play with his toys. Assuming his healing progresses normally, he will be free of the cage in another 10 days and hopefully the collar as well. We're hoping all the other kitties stay well and continue to visit these pages. :)
