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.
Adolescent Kitty of the Week!
KK in her youthful splendor, in an image that highlights the magic of her eyes. :)

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, or as was the case today, to accommodate the sun's 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 past week seems to be more sharing of stories than sharing of images, but that also fits the mission statement, "come share your pictures and stories of your feline companions with us." Sunday Cat! has been doing that for almost two decades now, with the main repository at DPReview. Sadly that repository seems to be irretrievably broken. Many photos are missing from the old posts and ones that I inserted through upload, not to a gallery, are completely gone. It's not clear to me which ones survived the transition, because some did, but it's a sad end to a long-standing thread. Over here at The Photo, we continue the tradition if not the complete archive. Speaking of tradition, ahead this week in the US is Thanksgiving, a feast that our kitties likely will have some interest in. :) Palmer, always the gentleman, used to have his own seat at the table. Mr. Me would be on the table so he is never invited. ;) Perhaps we will see something of what the American kitties are up to in the days ahead.
