The internet loves cats. Plug funny cats in to Youtube and you’ll still be there a week later poring through the results. There are a mind boggling array of cute kitty photo blogs and websites - none of which seem to feature any images of cats systematically transforming bin bag into plastic sieves or using the sofa as an improvised nail bar.

But seemingly even this isn’t enough. Not content with just admiring cats in all their cute dimensions German Jeurgen Perthold was consumed by curiousity - “I thought about our cat who is the whole day out, returning sometimes hungry sometimes not, sometimes he stay also the night out”. And so, the cat daddy came up with a solution – “This brought me to the idea to equip the cat with a camera.”

And so was born Mr Lee Cat Cam – a home made custom built cat camera which hangs around Mr Lee’s neck beaming back images and giving a cats eye view of his daily meanderings. The results are available online. Aside from offering a snapshot of what the world might look like if you conveyed yourself around on the flat of your stomach are pretty uninteresting.

But that’s not to say that the cat cam isn’t in demand. On the Mr Lee Cat Cam website Jeurgen has started selling Cat snappers and even outlines intricate instructions for building your own.

You may snigger but according to Jeurgen “the cat Mr. Lee is going to get the most famous cat of the world”. The cat who snaps may well be popular, but as for the “most famous cat of the world”.

Well, I think Garfield might have a thing or two to say about that.
