Cat Photos. Not of the cat...BY the cat.

This website is in German, but is supposed to be photos taken by a camera mounted on the person's cat.

I have to wonder how the cat would do on DPC? Some of the shots are pretty good.

Don't you have shrimp to sell or something? Where are you finding the time to find all these interesting sites? :P

So, does anyone speak German and does the site say how Fritz fires off the shot?

The 1.3 megapixel camera is programmed to shoot a photo every so often - you can calibrate it according to your needs.

So basically, the cat has this thing around its neck and does what it normally would do and the camera fires off shots in pre-determined intervals. Apparently they had problems with the battery initially, but it was fixed.

I can't help it. I frequently check reddit.com and keep finding things that I think you guys might like:)

I did manage to sell some shrimp yesterday.

I've always wanted to put a camera on my Cat, I'd love to know what he gets upto when we let him out. It was obvious the other day however, when he came back with half a wood-pigeon and a big smile on his face.

Actually...my husband is the pimp. I'm more like a madame;)

That's hilariously clever. And indeed that cat does not look like a too happy individual. Ahaha

Here is a guy that's done the same thing, only in English. Basically, he takes a $10 keychain camera, rigs it to fire once a minute, then builds an enclosure around it to make it shockproof and waterproof.

Yep, she's a pretty laid back cat. I did tell her that I draw the line at dreadlocks, though.

I used to have a black Labrador that escaped the garden every now and again and go on a rampage. On separate occasions he came back with - A bag of dougnuts, a dozen eggs, and a complete turkey with stuffing!

I've tried this with super glue, but the weight of the camera is tough on the cat...

I have been trying forever to find and take a photo like:

All in all... I think I will sell my camera and go back to weaving baskets. This cat is a much better photog than I am! (noone has to agree here you know)

Thing missing is... pictures of the "yoga" like angles they get in during the "washing myself" procedures.
