This site shows some funny pictures from the life of Mr. Lee, a cat equipped with a strap-on camera. My favorite picture is Trip 1: "Look, is there a cat meeting under a car?"
The "CatCam" takes pictures every few minutes so you can track what your cat does during the day. It would be even better if the camera had WiFi so you could track kitty in realtime on the web.
I bet it wouldn't cost much to prototype such a thing, and interestingly enough, I couldn't find anything like it on the web.
If your komputer skreen needs kleaning, then check out this kitty.
Here's a funny article that describes how an online university was busted after awarding an MBA to a cat that claimed a 3.5 grade average. The give-away was of course that a cat usually never gets above a 3.2 (at least not in my experience).
I was in New York today on business, and while I was waiting for a taxi, a large orange vehicle with whiskers and a tail drove by. Guess what? It was a kitty-kar advertising the Meow Mix cafe that I mentioned a few days ago. A happy coincidence!
In Manhattan, you can now take your cat to the "meow mix cafe", which caters exclusively to our feline friends. In the following video, owners are seen carrying their furry friends into the cafe to enjoy "filet meow" and other purr-licious dishes. I believe that the Roman empire experienced this level of decadence just before its downfall.
I mentioned in a previous blog that one of my cats, Beauty, died recently. I was worried that his sister Agatha would become very lonely and I was initially going to get another cat to replace her brother. But it actually worked out quite differently. Agatha, who used to be subservient to Beauty, seems to actually be happier now, enjoying getting more attention than she used to. I thought I'd share this data point for any readers who find themselves in the same situation. Main insight: Cats are not Humans.
