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.

@Robert Gentel,

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

@DrewDad,

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).

@Robert Gentel,

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.

@dagmaraka,

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

@DrewDad,

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.

@Robert Gentel,

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).

@littlek,

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!

The cat likes cars. Thanks for sharing.

@Robert Gentel,

Someone needs to run an updated version of this catcam. Higher pixel rate in a probably smaller camera.

Still some great shots on a mystery feline tour. Very Happy

What a cool idea...I had a cat till a few years ago that while we were in Arizona was known to roam at least a half mile from the house. Still, with current technology it would seem that GPS and cell phone technology would be the smarter way to go. Come to think of it, I have no idea why we cant right now by a product to track our pets location on the internet in real time. That should be doable I think.

@tsarstepan,

That's funny, some friends of mine just used this concept for a music video, with mixed results.
