      I am tempted to get a cat as an accessory for a cat aquarium

    A lot of these enclosures are almost identical. There are only tiny differences. Is this a cat boarding house or something?

    Reminds me of the days when you could look up public camera feeds with a specific string in a google search. Some of the camera pages had controls! Spent a day with friends in a college dorm scrolling through them.

    Funny that The Feline Relaxing Place is currently the least "relaxed" place.

      Isn't that what the "Feeders with hungry cats" category is? That's what I thought when I clicked around, at least.

    Every time this is posted I wonder if one could improve the backend so it doesn't take 5-10 seconds for a video stream to connect.

    Right now it's quite populated, but if I ever check it otherwise it's like this: wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 7 seconds, leave.

      I get it, but also, it’s pretty amazing that it only takes 10 seconds to remotely activate and stream live video from a camera installed in a cat house placed on a sidewalk 6,000 miles away.

      The "Feeders with Hungry Cats" dropdown filters to the active cameras.

        60% of the time it works every time. Sometimes those are all empty as well, or maybe there's a racoon instead :)

    I was reading that this is actually for neutering cats and that there is some deep dark secret behind these, might be something else tho.
