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.
Placid Kitty of the Week!
The quiet before nightfall.

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:
It was a busy week for me, and a busy week here as well. Thank you to all who contributed! Many of the kitties this week projected a sense of calm, like our Louisiana visitor, dreaminess while under the influence of catnip, the opportunity for a nap presented by an errant pillow. :) And then of course there are the bathroom monitors. ;) Mr. Me is holding steady since his recent office visits. He's been doing well enough that I have not been putting the collar back on him. As long as his eye is stable and not painful in some way, he doesn't rub it. Because he injured his eyes multiple times from rubbing them, he has had to wear a collar for months. Since I have to dose him with eyedrops five times a day I have lots of opportunity to check and make sure his eye looks good with no changes. If something doesn't look right, he gets the collar back on, and probably another office visit. But not this week anyway. :) Mr. Me wishes all the other kitties well and hopes that their office visits are few. ;)
