Cat cam

The Mini is the first cat I’ve had that I allow to roam free outside. (I won’t get into the reasons that motivated this choice. I’ll just film the cat at the front door some day…) Most of the times when I go outside of the house, he shows up after a few minutes, just to say hi. He comes back inside two or three times a day and he’s always home before 5pm. (I don’t want to let a black cat out at night. He’s pretty hard to see.)

The Mini’s days are a bit of a mystery. Sometimes he brings a bird back. Sometimes he chases around a yellow cat (can’t tell if he’s a friend or not). One day he brought us a black crucifix and happily chewed on Jesus and his cross while we watched in horror. My beau and I wonder: where does he go? Who does he meet? (Is he so big because somebody else feeds him?) We’ve been dreaming about a little gear system that we could put on him to track his whereabouts, some kind of GPS/WiFi gizmo, or even better, a video camera.

Someone has finally invented the Cat Cam, and I really, really want one for The Mini! This is the best reality television I’ve seen in years. Snakes! Cat ennemies! Strange houses! You wouldn’t believe the suspense. Someone should give that Mr. Lee cat his own tv channel!
