The pictures prove Cooper is gay... if he wasn't, there would be more pictures of the hot wife.

That's what the other 19,927 pictures are.

How long until some asshat sees his house in the cat's pics and sues for breach of privacy?

Out of the 20,000 photos taken, 73 were interesting

That's honestly a better percentage than the pictures my friends email to me.

Too bad link isn't working now (for the cat photos) figure most would be boring but interesting to take a look none the less...

That was perhaps the most boring thing I have ever clicked on Fark. There was nothing interesting or exciting or remarkable about it. It was like viewing the films your grandparents made in the 50s of their trip to the beach. Honestly, the idea was cool but the actual results were a big bunch of fail.

 
Derkins 2008-12-06 09:26:39 PM  
It seems kind of mean to make that cat wear a big old camera around its neck. My cat wouldn't put up with that.

Whadya mean you don't like stories told by old people? Here's an old standby:

I leave as inheritance these: a box of mint-condition 1918 liberty-head silver dollars. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J. D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run of the house with a big washtub and... hey! Where are you going?
... Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as... a walking bird. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called "baseball"...
... Eh, why didn't you get something useful, like storm windows, or a nice pipe organ? I'm thirsty! Ew, what smells like mustard? There're sure a lot of ugly people in your neighborhood. Oh! Look at that one. Ow, my glaucoma just got worse. The president isn't Democrat! Hello? I can't unbuckle my seat belt. Hello? [honks car horn] There are too many leaves in your walkway...

Proving what all us cat people have known for years if not decades: Cats lead really really boring lives. Comfy, but boring.

Mike - Being a douche isn't how you make friends. If a repeat once in a while bothers you so bad maybe Fark isn't the place for you and your sensitive emotions. And no bleief in seniority? That just makes no sense at all...You must not believe in all that scientific mumbo jumbo about age and time and whatnot.

Interesting timing. I am stuck out in Blythe, CA on the weekend and took a drive out to the Palo Verde irrigation diversion dam north of town. No sooner had I stepped out, I was smothered with affection by the caretaker's kitty. It crossed a ravine and 1/4 mile of parking lot to intercept me! Talk about a dream job for kitty (and caretaker, who has a house all by himself at the dam, though I didn't meet him.)

That's one kitty I'd love to hang a kitty-cam on. It would be interesting to see how he reacts to the thousands of birds at that dam/lake during the day.

/Oh, by the way, got to see Miss Blythe in the city Xmas parade

What I found ludicrous were the comments by Cooper's female owner, complementing him on his "composition" and "depth of field." Like he also created the website, and reads the posts. We're talking about someone taking talking to your pet to an entirely new level.

Cats stare at the wall a lot. Color me shocked.

 
LincolnLogolas 2008-12-06 10:23:49 PM  
Probably would've been better if you could create a little harness to mount it on the cat's head, so you could actually see where the cat's head was pointed (rather than what the cat's chest was pointed at).

I'd try it if I had the money to blow on a small enough camera, but I don't think it'd be very interesting. Here's a summary of the pictures you'd see:

Picture of cat food.
Picture of water.
Picture of litterbox.
Picture of other cat.
Picture of paw smacking other cat.
Picture of humidifier on top of small table.
Picture of cat paw smacking humidifier to induce bubbling.
Picture of humidifier up close.
Picture of humidifier on the floor, leaking.
Blurred picture of hallway.
Picture of me with squirt bottle.
Picture of underside of couch.
Picture of television.
Picture of cat paw smacking television.
Picture of wall.
Picture of cat paw smacking wall for no apparent reason.

I would have shouted encouragment to it then, when it was about fifty yards away, got into the car and drove away.

I would be interested in seeing what my cats do all day. Now I know what they usually do while I'm there (chase after each other, get into fights, etc.) but I'm intrigued about what they do when I'm gone. This is only because I think my orange cat is sexually molesting my gray cat. I've caught my orange cat attempting to. I'm very disturbed by this predicament.

/they are both guy cats...and brothers
//keeping it in the family I guess

if i found that damn thing in my yard, the last pic it would have would be me and my air gun.
