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.
Preeminent 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:
It was a quiet week, but summers can be like that. As they days grow shorter and folks spend more time inside, sometimes there is more opportunity for an indoor safari and bringing out our finest camera gear to capture the resident felines. :) Regrettably, Mr. Me is not looking his best, making him less than an ideal subject to capture. With his medications interfering with fur growth, he has a long way to go before he really looks like a cat again. Interestingly though, the whiskers above his eye that were shaved off when the eye was removed at the beginning of June, seem to have grown out to their full length again. At least that part of his sensory system is back in place. It didn't however keep him from running into a table leg the other day as he was running after a treat I tossed for him. Hopefully with time he'll better get the hang of not having vision on one side of his head. We hope that this is something that none of the other kitties who visit here will ever have to endure.
