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.
Harmonious Companionship of the Week!
Something we all could use more of.

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 quiet week, but then again the kitties might still be hiding after all the noise last weekend. ;) We do hope that Lexi got fed and received all the attention he deserved! :) For me the last week (and the week ahead!) might be called film week. Last weekend I was out with the Leica IIIf, then spent a couple of days with the Yashica Mat-124G. I also spent several hours looking up, and finally identifying which model of Speed Graphic I have along with the year built (1945 or '46). Mine is the Miniature Speed Graphic (2 1/4 x 3 1/4) but I've been confused about its vintage since it has a Graflok back. The back was introduced in 1949. Mine must have been a later conversion. I also pulled out the Certo and did some research on which model I have. It's a Super Dollina II. Very nice pocketable folding camera. Unfortunately, the viewfinder is fogged up, making it a little hard to frame the shot, but the rangefinder is still working just fine. (Better than the Leica, which really needs its rangefinder serviced.) So off to other things in the days ahead!
