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.
Resting Kitty of the Week!

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:
This week I'm checking carefully to make sure I have the right dates, have incremented the counts properly and in general am trying to keep things going in the right direction! Unlike Fred, Mr. Me's hunting days are over, except for treats rolled across the floor for him to chase, if he sees them, or sniff them out if he doesn't. Last week he had the fun of visiting both of his doctors, and did well on both exams! Thursday he received his second chemo treatment and doesn't have to see either doctor again for four weeks, unless he decides otherwise... So, we're hoping for a happier cat now that he doesn't have to ride in a car so frequently. Mr. Me hopes that every kitty's trips to the vet are as infrequent as they can be. :D

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