so that I can see what he does when he goes out around the neighbourhood. He travels at least a km radius... Has anyone here ever done that?

It can be done, but it will cost you some money Id assume. Even if you were to get a cheap protable camera, the thing would only run for a few hours....Ive seen on the discoery channel they attach cameras to Dolphins and sea lions to see what they do. Those are probably REAlLY expensive. If you cant find what your looking for at a video camera store, Id recommend something along the lines of a SPY shop...they have micro cameras ones used for spying Im sure could be strapped around the head of the pussy

sounds like a clever enough experiment.
just make sure to find a small enough camera so the cat can still jump around.
you could probably broadcast it live on the web and make a fortune.

My old cat would never take that kind of treatment. But then again, that was a cat who would bite his way out of a leash with 4 straps (stomach, neck, front legs, hind legs).
All we found was a pile of string.

Ya, the cat would definately reject the idea of a camera being attached to his head (the only sensible place a video visual can be obtained from) but if the thing is tiny eneough, I dont think he would mind....you can just wire the lens/camera diode from his head to a harness consisting of the remaining components for a functionable video camera (power supply, digital/tape?... etc) to his belly which would be more comfortable. Im not sure if the poster is really serious bout doin this though.

Good idea, if I had a small cam, I would consider it He's not gonna like it tho.. You gotta find a setup that he cannot manipulate, which won't be easy You have to get a feel for it, I conduct experiments with my cat and tape, but, he continues to co-operate, so I guess he's game. Although, none of the experiments have been successful yet. I find that he can't even deal with the smallest piece of tape, it doesn't matter where it is placed, he just freaks all the same. GL

I can't imagine a cat letting their owner attach a camera to them. He'd probably hop around like a mad-man and try to chew it off

I call shennanigans on all of you screaming for a smaller camera. We need a bigger camera so that we can get a higher resolution video! Duh, don't you guys know anything? Just knock kitty out with some K and duct tape the camera on kitty's back real good while he's ko'd.
This is so going to win an oscar, or at least an emmy.

Yeah I was thinking of getting a really small wireless camera and somehow attaching it to a collar. Mind you the cat has never worn a collar and the couple of times I have put one on him he has hated it. So I would have to get him used to wearing the collar first. It would also depend on how much a small camera would cost. I'd love to know what he does though. My cat is really fluffy and he likes to make friends with people and people like him and take him inside and give him food - or at least that has been the case at most of the places I have lived - I am not sure about here. I think that would be the most interesting part.
