A follow on from Mr Lee's Catcam, Fritz Catcam pictorially documents the adventures of Fritz the cat. And yes, I am still amazed no one has turned this idea into a commercial product...a kitteh flickr stream would be fascinating! [via Neatorama]

This is a pretty cool project, a chap in Germany attached a small digital camera to his cat's collar. My experience of adding anything to cats collars is that it causes the cat to spend the following several hours awkwardly trying to remove the foreign item, but somehow this guy convinced his cat to become a pioneer in cat photography. His site shows some of the adventures the cat went on while wearing the catcam, fascinating! I am surprised no one has actually turned this into a product yet, imagine a cat/dog collar with a wireless camera and small memory card which just syncs the images with your network when in range. I guess there would probably be quite a bit of resistance from the animal privacy advocates. [via LaughingSquid] UPDATE 3/1/08 - also check out the Fritz Catcam for more photographic cat adventures.
