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.
Stoic Kitty of the Week!
Cemetery Cat. Long the stern faced denizen of the local cemetery. At the end of the week he will be guarding the flags again for the Fourth of July. ;)

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:
Summer is here and travel is on, so it was very quiet this past week. That turned out to be a good opportunity for me to share the Cemetery Cat story. :) Unfortunately the other story, Mr. Me, is not better. His remaining eye seemed to be developing some problems so I took him in this past week. It appears that his left eye is now in trouble and he might lose that one as well. On top of that, the pathology report for the eye that he lost indicates the possibility of cancer. At this time he seems to be stable and can still see motion, so all I can do is hope that the next steps will quickly get to the bottom of his issues, hopefully prevent him losing his vision in the other eye and that he will finally get better.
