Welcome all to the Sunday Cat!, a weekly online community gathering 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.
Mischievous Kitties 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! All cats, all cameras, all cat fanciers 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. Tales of their lives or adventures. 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:
In case you missed it, last week I wrote about Lynne's kitty Eleanor, who had to be rescued from the only home she ever knew after Lynne died. This week I am glad to report that she adapting well to her new surroundings. While still edgy and sometimes defensive, she has calmed down from her aggressive self of last weekend. Always a somewhat edgy cat, she'll be given more time to adjust and see if she can become more placid and easygoing than she is right now. Where she is now living probably gives her the best chance to do that. Meanwhile, Mr. Me is not doing well. He is struggling with upper respiratory issues. We visited the vet today and he was given an antibiotic to start with. Lab test results from today's visit are pending, so he may receive other medications later. Meantime the cat who never left a food dish until it was empty has to be coaxed to eat. I hope we can get to the bottom of his problem.

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