:-)) Sunday Cat! #963 March 29, 2026 ((-:

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.

Usurping Kitty of the Week!

Arni, what's the problem here? You weren't using it!

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, or later, like today. 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. Well, it was late, but I didn't know it would be this 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:
It's been a busy week for me. I never turned on my computer again since last Sunday! (Only my work computer...) And Saturday was the topper being out all day long, and needing a nap when I got home. :) And finally, making myself even later by watching a long pass of the ISS tonight. It was one of those where both Lynne and I could watch it at the same time even though we were 400 miles apart. Tried to get some photos too. Will need to try that again. ;) And now, on to the kitties! :D

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

This week features another kitty birthday, April 4, 2000, for Peaches, aka Princess Peaches. It is an assigned birthday, one that fell between Lynne's and mine. :) Peaches was given to me in November 2000 a few weeks after Molly B. died. Here is her arrival photo:

She was very frightened initially and spent most of her time hiding under the blanket in the carrier! In time of course she became comfortable here and came to rule the roost.

She always wanted us to think that she was a white cat, but her tail would give it way (she's really calico!)

Probably the prettiest kitty I'll ever have had.

She was almost 17 when she crossed the rainbow bridge, February 28, 2017.

A few weeks before her final sleep.

Hi,

We eyeballed the pass over of the ISS last evening as well. My wife thought it was Venus at first. But it moved. Then, she thought a plane with its lights on. I paraphrased Obi-Wan Kenobi and said: That's no plane. It's a Space Station. ;)
