    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. With the announced shuttering of DPReview (which did not happen), the last Sunday Cat! there was hosted on 2 April 2023. After taking a leap of faith, the Sunday Cat! landed here at its new home on 9 April 2023.

    Daydreaming Kitty of the Week!

    Milo, dreaming of other worlds? Other kitties? Making a run for it? ;)

    As said by Warriormouse, "Photos can be more than just art, they can be memories, so come share your picture 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 welcome. Images from any time, any place. Let the Sunday Cat! be a refuge where nice comments abound and only constructive criticism is given when it's requested.

    The Sunday Cat! is now open for business. :D

    Thread Manager's Corner:
    It was a quiet week but we had the representatives from both ends of kitty life, at rest and at play. :) This past week Palmer also demonstrated another aspect of kitties, their famed nine lives. For the third time in less than a year he cheated death with a visit to the pet emergency clinic last Sunday. Although weak, he clawed his way back from that experience and is doing much better this weekend. The end is near, but not today anyway. And he remains determined not to have his picture taken! I'm trying longer lenses now in the hope I can get some without his being aware of my efforts. ;) Hope all the other kitties are doing just fine these days. :)

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

    I’ve looked at this kitty portrait many times over the past week. I continue to enjoy the fine detail and the very subtle colors that are present. It is a moment of great pleasure for cat and photographer. :) So even though it will be my only choice this week it is a delightful one. This week’s post will be late though. The power went out (for the second time in two days, thanks PGE!) so I am limited to my phone right now, which gets all of one bar at home. :( Will post when I can.
