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

There is yet still hope for the internet after all!

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

Now we just need a cat presence detector!

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

Seems like it

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.
