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.
Self-Collected Kitty of the Week!
This Street Cat of Istanbul mirrors the assuredness of the figure above. :)

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:
As is typical for summers, it was a quiet week for new images, but here in the US that doesn't mean it was quiet! The Fourth of July had many noises that sent kitties scrambling. Mr. Me seems to be a little shell shocked today from all the explosions of the fireworks. I'm hoping it's just all the noise from the 4th that makes him seem to be a little "off" today and nothing more. So far he is maintaining some vision in his remaining eye. He has an appointment this Wednesday that will probably begin a new chapter in his treatment and hopefully help him keep what vision he has. We'll know more next week. Meantime, we hope all the kitties stay healthy and avoid any extra stress in their lives.

Though small in size, the imprint they make on our lives is huge.
