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,e 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.
Contorted Kitties of the Week!
Lexi (left) and Arnie (right) don't try this at home. 😉 Although the Ross Sisters might have given them some competition.

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:
It was a good week for kitties, and they all seemed to be getting their rest, having enjoyed a good meal or in a window shot with the outdoors looking cool and inviting. However, I wasn't really aware of how serious the heatwave was in the UK and Europe until I read about it yesterday. I hope everyone is finding ways to stay cool and safe during the event. Kitties are pretty good about keeping themselves safe in the heat although in some extreme cases I have helped mine out by petting them after dipping my hand into a dish of water. Be ready though in case they decide to shake it off! Owing to the weather, it could be a quiet week ahead. If that happens, we'll understand and look forward to when the kitties find they can come out again. :)
And since our next posting will be after the 4th, I hope everyone in the US gets to enjoy a splendid celebration of the 250th and that the kitties survive the noise without any other harm.

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