    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.

    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! 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, #908 / DPRv #101

    Thread Manager's Corner:
    After almost two years at DPRv the Sunday Cat! has taken another leap by moving into its own forum. Currently titled, "The Sunday Cats!", I'm hoping for a slight change without the "The". With the break from its ancestral Olympus forum, Sunday Cat! begins a new era. It's good to have a home of one's own. :D And I've even managed to start the new week on time, actually a little early for a change. Miracles happen!

    Hi,

    Yep. Not under Olympus any longer. Your kitten has grown up!

    Ah Ha! I've found the Sunday Cat again! Seems our cats have found a loving home
    on the "The Photo Forum". Someone explain why there seems to be as many cats
    still on the Sunday Cat on DPR as here. Post on both sites?

    Hi,

    I don't post in both. I never knew it was there, not being an Oly user and so never reading that forum. I didn't see SC until here, and then because of the Threads list.

    I think this is historical. It was moved over here when DPReview announced they were shutting down. Also, over there, it's in the Olympus SLR forum so not easy to find if you don't know. But feel free to post in both places if that is what you wish to do.
