Cat camera with a DIFFERENCE


So, like the rest of us, you stand around your break room at work, bemoaning the state of cat cameras: those cameras that are affixed to la tete du chat and then transmit a cat's eye view of the world, what old Mr Whiskers is doing, etc.


If you are fed up, you likely say something like "There have been no real improvements or new ideas in cat cameras in ages. This stuff you get now - it's no different than Letterman's old monkey cam, for chrissake! And THAT was twenty-five years ago."


As ever, Nick Eddy Relents posits the new and the innovative.


I'm speaking, of course, about a cat camera that is attached via a headband or the like (I leave the proper science of it to the professionals - I'm on the IDEA end) and has the camera mounted on the end of a seeming crane, with the lens pointed back at the cat. That is what is new (and breathtaking!) about this. As Lyla, say, runs around the house or through the yard, you will not be shown what she's seeing (who cares? Crawl around the baseboards yourself, if you're that curious), but rather her face as she moves about looking at stuff. AND THAT ONLY!


It's SO time for this. Write your congressman, while you're still allowed!

Recent numbers show that 63% of US households own a pet - that's 71.1 million homes and families with dogs, cats, iguanas, parakeets, fish, ferrets, potbellied pigs, etc, etc., Taking care of a pet is tougher than taking care of an infant, since our pets can't speak. Hence, making sure your pet is safe and happy when you leave it alone at home should be a priority for all pet owners. One of the simplest ways of watching over a pet remotely is by using some sort of webcam software like GotoCamera that is easily available online these days. Thanks to technology and some very smart people who are working on making things easier for us, you can now use your basic webcam to monitor your pets while you're away from them.
