Cat Cam


If, like me, you have ever owned a cat you will know that they are fascinating creatures who are prone to disappear for hours on end on little adventures.

What do they get up to when they are out of sight?

Over in Germany J. Perthold was pondering the same question and decided to create a Cat Cam to capture his cat Mr Lee's day. He modified a cheap digital camera so that it would automatically take a picture every few minutes and fixed it to the cat's collar in a protective housing.

The resulting photographic records of Mr Lee's trips are fascinating. A bit like "Life On Earth" but on a slightly smaller budget...
