The CatCam

Some guy straps a camera to his cat. Furry adventures ensure.

This is awesome - the Engrish subtitles are excellent as well. I hope they do video.

pretty innovative a thing to do and quiet interesting as well !

Having had cats for as long as I can remember, things like the amount of time the cat spends under cars is unsurprising, but I am surprised by how well the cat seems to get along with other cats.

As it takes one photo a minute, maybe the choice of photos is selectively edited?

I'm sure it is, I'm just sort of surprised at the cats' body language. They all seem pretty comfortable around each other, though I guess we're not going to see tail-swishing and such.

On a related subject: Some folks attached a 360 video camera to an eagle's back and filmed his flight. It was absolutely amazing. I saw it on Discovery ch. i think. I hope they come up with a lighter camera for flacons and other fast flying hunters.

I knew a cat that was a real scrapper. One of my friends would come home and find shreds of hair in front of her house. I'd love to see a cats eye view of a good fight with another cat.

How about a swallow? Though that might be a trifle dizzying.

My favorite part was the step-by-step breakdown of the idea, ending with "mount equipment to cat."
