:-)) Sunday Cat! #874 July 14, 2024 ((-:

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. 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! landed here at its new home on 9 April 2023.

Shush! Kitty of the Week!

Stripey, unhappy to have her blissful rest disturbed by a photo op! 😠

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 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's still summer quiet, but I think with the roiling of the world outside the Sunday Cat!, the calm and quiet here is soothing. After a few more hot days here it finally cooled down, a moderate 89F today, down from 106F a couple of days ago. Mr. Me is relieved. He hopes that the cooler weather means I'll stop putting ice cubes in his water dish, so annoying! The cooler weather is also making me feel better, along with being close to getting over whatever it was that I picked up on my trip. Maybe I can get some shooting in now. :)

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

Tiger doesn't ant to be left out...

Kitty has finally become a lap cat

Street Cats of Istanbul

Hi,

Time for a New Muzzleloaders update. They are now 12 weeks old.

The grey striped one is the only boy, named Jack Jack. The grey and white one is Doris and the one with her points there is Sam.

This is what they were like the day they arrived at six weeks of age.

In addition to making some lovey eyes at the camera it looks like Tiger is doing a little optional kneading with that paw in front. Sweet one!

Kitty is looking both very comfortable, and very confident. It looks like her takeover may be complete now. ;)

This kitty certainly seems to be attentive to his environment and the opportunities it might present to him. He also seems to be well made up with his big white chest and orange stripey fur around it. Very handsome kitty!

What can we say except "Awwww, so cute!" :) I like in the first shot how they are all touching one another. I guess they still need that for their own sense of security.

Hi,

It's actually pretty rare that they all sleep together like that. Usually, they are in different places. We thought that instance was sorry of a shot as it fits in with that other one the day they arrived here on the farm.
