Mr. Lee CatCam

For all the advances we've made in science and technology, we have yet to truly comprehend the mental workings of the average housecat. For anyone who has lived with a feline, the mystery of a cat's mind is an all-too-familiar quandary. This site does not venture any answers to that dilemma. But it does attempt to record what one cat—the illustrious Mr. Lee—does and where he goes when left to his own devices. Mr. Lee's human companion, a clever man who lives in Germany, rigged a small digital camera to take a photo at regular intervals. He affixed the device to his cat's collar and let Mr. Lee do his thing. What came back is an amusing, sometimes fascinating peek into Mr. Lee's daily activities. The introduction and technical background provide a rundown of how the camera was altered to take the pictures and withstand its mission. We particularly liked the description of "big moment no. 1":

"Big moment no. 1: attach the collar with the camera to the cat. The reaction was not very happy but finally accepted. Reality check passed :-)"
