Some weeks ago, Miri sent me a link to a cat-cam-site on the net. Some german dude attached a digital camera to his cat's neck, in order to see the world through the eyes of the cat so to speak. It involved building a special plastic holder to the camera and manipulating the electronic circuits of the camera to allow automatic shot release every so many seconds. The guy is a genius of sorts, make no mistake. It is quite touching to view the pics, it's the closest you get yet into the mind set of a cat. But then again, there are still many cat secrets to unlock, this is just a meagre beginning. It will take a while before scientists write a book aboot cat metaphysics like they did recently aboot the baboons. In the mean time we rejoice in scratching the mere surface of cathood, in all it's splendor.
