Mr. Lee CatCam

Valerie pinged me last night with this piece of marvelousness:

Sometimes I have some challenging ideas, or crazy like some other people would say. This time I thought about our cat who is the whole day out, returning sometimes hungry sometimes not, sometimes with traces of fights, sometimes he stay also the night out.

When he finally returns, I wonder where he was and what he did during his day. This brought me to the idea to equip the cat with a camera. The plan was to put a little camera around his neck which takes every few minutes a picture. After he is returning, the camera would show his day.

I’ve sometimes wondered exactly the same thing – in my case considering a small HFDF system – but this is a better and more hacky application of modern technology, and it’s somewhat artistic, too.

Check out the trip photos.

    I’ve been wanting to do this for Arthur for ages as I really want to know where he goes, but Nick thinks I’m mad…..

    A marvelous idea. Make sure there’s a way for the cat to get free of it if it snags on something though.

  3. The cat’s a good photographer, too. Some of those shots are really nice.

    Very cool, and fascinating to see the ‘cats eye view’
