That's an interesting photo tour of the cat's travels during the day. At the bottom of the page you can browse to the next page of photos.

Would you strap a camera to your cat to find out where it goes? If mine ever left the house I'd sure be interested.

Interesting. I wonder how the cat felt schlepping that around.

Here's the camera on the cat:

Not sure if it's uncomfortable or not. I suppose it depends on the cat. Some cats go nuts with anything on them (put a piece of tape on a cat's butt and you may see something very funny).

I love that website. I think it's a brilliant idea. i'm sorry i haven't done that with my pup Krispin, he used to roam about for hours in my parents' neighborhood. Would love to see what he was up to.

That site's user gallery has a picture of a dog wearing the camera, but no pictures of the dog's travels.

My biggest concern would be if people thought the camera was valuable and tried to harm the cat to steal it.

Kinda like how I'd feel about giving a kid an iphone in a bad neighborhood.

That looks like a sensible arrangement.

I was thinking more of a night-goggles kinda contraption....

If my cat was an outdoor cat, that series of pix would make me think twice about keeping him inside (my cat is an inside cat now-a-days).

Actually, it all makes me very sad for my indoor cat.....these cats are LIVING!

Of course, they may die a lot sooner...but still...

Fascinating!

I wonder if the Possum-cat is amenable to this. I'd love to know what he gets up to during the day, inside or out.

I suspect he just sleeps, so he can race around and open the wardrobe doors at night!
