:-)) Sunday Cat! #901 January 19, 2025 ((-:

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! found refuge here on 9 April 2023.

Beatific Kitty of the Week!

Sweet dreams Niusia. :)

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. Or the battle I'm having with my computer like today... 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! Remember, all cats, all cameras 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. 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

Last week's purrs, #900 / DPRv #93

Thread Manager's Corner:
Last week we hit the milestone of 900 weeks of the Sunday Cat! And it won't be too long before we hit a milestone here at DPRv. Thank you for posting kitties from around the world and making each week something special to look forward to. :D

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

Its cold outside. Micio in on of his favourite afternoon nap places. My wife put a blanket on him to keep him warm. He seemed to like it.

Mokey on his real, live cat tree. It is perfect for him, not too high
he knows how to get down after clawing his way up. He loves that
outdoor tree- even when its cold outside.

He blends in very well with his tree and looks ready to take on any challenge that awaits him. :)

Now that looks too cozy for words! :D

He's baaack!

Mr. Me's (left) eye is much better now!

Enjoying the afternoon sun and the view from the front door.

Lens is the Sigma 50mm f/1.4

A farm cat...

S/he is certainly intent on something. Any idea what?

Looks like the kitty is going to "play" with those chickens...

Another kitty on the farm didn't show any interest in those chickens ...

Oh! Now I see the chickens! I'm looking at this on an 8" tablet, so sometimes the details get lost.

I think it's hard to spot the chickens because these pictures are poor quality ...

The Sunday Cat! will be late today. I inadvertently made my primary computer unusable and I was having trouble with the backup. I’ll try another one later. Doing it from my phone, which I’m on now, isn’t going to cut it. :(

Hi,

Yep. Good old computer issues. I have the one I use to drive my big photo printer down. Seems to have lost a power switching transistor on the main board. What makes fixing these things difficult is no one publishes documentation any more. So that makes it a long troubleshooting time trying to follow the paths without a schematic and board layout.

I'll get it fixed, but I'll probably get another machine to run that printer just to save some time.
