For the cat lovers

Mr Lee's Cat Cam
This guy put a digicam around his cat's neck and let it roam. The camera takes a photo evey now and then and so records the cat's whereabouts.

Making one yourself looks a bit complicated (unless you're comfortable with taking apart and modifying electronic gubbins) but if he could patent and market it, he might have something on his hands...

That is so cool... I've always wanted to fit my cats up, just to see what they get up to (and to find out who pissed on the bathroom floor... if it wasn't one of those then I'm worried!) I suspect it would involve a lot of bed time... Fiendish was asleep under the duvet when I left this morning!

Psycho's a little better btw, but will be kept in for another couple of days.

That is absolutely fantastic. :-)

I'm sure you could rig a motion sensor into the camera so the camera doesn't record when the cat's not moving.

Glad to hear!

That is very awesome. The electronics aren't too messy. Maybe an excuse to get a microprocessor controller for my PC at last...

Then all I'd need is a cat to put it on.

I'm sure you could find someone who has a cat but no electronics skills.

We've wanted to do this forever.
Awesome.

I'd just get a series of pictures of various sleeping locations and the food bowl :(

Yes, my brother's cat would send back a succession of pictures of beds.

My favorite part of this website is the comments. Especially with the idea of cats having secret meetings under cars firmly implanted in my head.

Tomorrow may be spent investigating under cars, seeing if I can find their secrets out.

I'm sure they'll soon find out what's happening and utterly mislead us.
