Yes, Cooper is an artist. He's a photographic artist, and he's pretty amazing too, considering he's a domestic short hair. Now, I can't say I approve that his owners let him outside, but that's their choice. all my cats would be taking pictures of is my messy house.... but this is a very interesting artical for your reading and watching pleasure... http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ae/399900_cooper13.html?source=mypi

HI Sweet That is such a great idea. It would be a good idea for the people that research wild animals. You could really get an idea of what their life is like. oxxoxoxo

since your cats go outside, probably some pretty interesting pix - they show the camera being made special - don't know enough about cameras to set something up like that

Heyya ElicBxn! I would have never thought to do something like that. It is very entertaining though. A day in the life of a cat...that's great. Thanks for sharing.

I was disappointed not to be able to see some of Cooper's work.

Thanks for the article, Elic. I never thought of doing something like that to my cats. My daughter's cat Lil' Bear is one cat I would love to put one of these cameras on back when we used to let them go outside. She never failed to head to the one neighbor's house but what she did after she was over there has always been a mystery to us.

The Doctor I once found over in a field that used to exist beside the apartment behind us. He was probably hunting. I'm pretty sure he was cruising for food too.

Thanks for this link. Some of those photos are amazing, but I wonder if the humans did any cropping to achieve the excellent compositions. I mean, it's not like Cooper actually looked through the viewfinder and pressed the shutter himself. Still, very nice. I think my favorite is the one of the autumn leaves.

well, most places in the states have leash laws so that might actually be a bit of a problem

Never thought of that. Although, going for a walk with owner would still produce some interesting photos.
