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.
Disquieted Kitty of the Week!
Kitty, did I say you could take my photo? Noooo! Now take that camera and point it at somebody else!

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:
With the loss of Snowflake, last week became a time of reflection. Their lives are so much shorter than ours, we will lose many over a lifetime. But our kitties can be awe inspiring and bring us much joy, although there can also be scratches or the occasional bite. 😉 Mr. Me is beginning to amaze me with his resilience now that he has come out from under his drug infused stupor. By the middle of the week he seemed to be quite himself. He's still wearing a collar right now but that will come off once his stiches are removed Monday. Then he'll be free climb his cat tree or go wherever he likes, in the house. He actually tried to get outside the other day! His ambition knows no limits. 😀

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