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.
Standoffish Kitties of the Week!
It is perhaps a good thing there is a wall of glass between them!

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 bit of a slow week but that didn't stop interesting images from being posted! It is my wish to be here more often myself but my job just seems to be running away with much of my time (and more importantly, energy), while medicating Mr. Me five times a day takes its own chunk. But at least he continues to be stable. With the stability of his remaining eye I have had him collar free for many days now. As long as he's not in pain he leaves his eye alone. Now if only he could hurry up growing back all the fur that got shaved due to exams or his surgery. Then I'd have a more photogenic kitty to share here. :) We're hoping all the US residents have a nice end of summer holiday weekend and that all the kitties have pleasant sunny days as well.

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