Excerpts from a Cat's Diary....
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now................ - Eshestun, on 12/07/2008, -3/+159This was done quite some time ago and has been on digg several times.

That was one of the first I had seen. - hamstergirl, on 12/07/2008, -3/+83I wonder how many shots there were of him licking his privates.
- bunnyblues, on 12/07/2008, -4/+66My grandma forwards this to me at least once a year.
- samanathon, on 12/07/2008, -1/+62Here you go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelbenjamin/sets/ ...
- psion01, on 12/07/2008, -3/+51Is your grandma Peestandingup by any chance?
- chemdiva, on 12/07/2008, -0/+44I always read the cat part in a bad fake french accent. And no matter how many times i read it, it never stops amusing me. It's possible i need to get out more.
- geodescent, on 12/07/2008, -0/+28A Mac user
/ducks - jvincent08, on 12/07/2008, -0/+27While this is a pretty cool idea, the shots were pretty boring. The flickr album is supposed to have "some of the best" shots, but half of them are 3rd person pictures of the cat taken by others, and the rest are mostly pictures of the sky.
- ladyarcher85, on 12/07/2008, -0/+27Oh look a cat! This, I have to digg up.
- ZenFu, on 12/07/2008, -1/+27I love how i spent about 5-10 mins debating whether to post this to digg after i saw it on fark.com, only to decide against it seeing as odds are it wouldn't be frontpaged, 1: because the article's long and pointless when all we want are pics and 2: because i honestly couldn't see this making it past like 100 diggs.
Whaddaya know, i was wrong!
/Forgot that cats amuse people...especially if there's text next to them. - deaconyermouf, on 12/07/2008, -0/+22Exactly.
"If my cat can take photos prettier than what we've taken, what is art?"
Give me a break. - MattyLite, on 12/07/2008, -0/+19It's a pretty old chain E-mail; your British TV guy's grandma has probably already forwarded it to him =P
- thegrantman, on 12/07/2008, -0/+16Pussy pics.
- CraigReed, on 12/07/2008, -0/+16/Throws a rock
Damn missed him, he must have ducked somehow... - Charlotte_Web, on 12/07/2008, -1/+16Ummm... it's a fairly unremarkable picture of a woman.
Are there no women where you're from? - ClevelandBrown, on 12/07/2008, -3/+17Well written, made me laugh.
- punkcat, on 12/07/2008, -0/+14not only that the original was freaking 1000 times better.
sorry but this new one here had a god awful boring slide show. where's the snake? the other cats? - jvincent08, on 12/07/2008, -3/+15FTA:"From 6 inches above the ground, Cooper took 200 to 400 pictures a day on a miniature digital camera programmed to take one picture every two minutes."
Try reading the article next time. - nomnompie, on 12/07/2008, -0/+11Sold at Target in the toy section:

I'm going to put one on my son to document a day in kindergarten. - thatonekid393, on 12/07/2008, -1/+12Best thing I've read tonight.
- jserio, on 12/07/2008, -0/+10Yep, and the camera even looks identical. Not only did this Seattle guy rip off the original cat cam but he didn't even give credit where credit is due.
Edit: After being called out in the comments, he admits to using the catcam:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/soundoff/comment.asp ... - super_spyder, on 12/07/2008, -0/+10that cat needs an eyefi, and a solar panel on its back, so it never needs to get plugged in, and all pictures go online automatically.
- megagram, on 12/07/2008, -1/+11And with... excellent sentence structure. such as yours. You should no doubt write anything professionally. Thank you.
- greensky, on 12/07/2008, -0/+9That's who I thought of when I saw this article.
- WriterSD, on 12/06/2008, -5/+14That's a pretty fun idea!
- inactive, on 12/07/2008, -1/+10Yup, the original cat-photographer. Glad we still remember him.
- ChromaVita, on 12/07/2008, -0/+9Did you really think a cat got a camera, took pictures documenting his life, edited and arranged them into a documentary, and posted it to the internet?
- dgn3, on 12/07/2008, -1/+10wrong. they were domesticated for pest control
- BlackApple, on 12/07/2008, -0/+8This was on animal planet tonight. There was also a funny story about a cat in Wisconsin that ran away and ended up in a storage container at a paper mill and got shipped to France. A month later the family got a call saying we found your cat...in France, and the guy was like France Wisconsin? No, France the country!
- ClevelandBrown, on 12/07/2008, -2/+10Is this what you're referring to?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/s3_03galler ... - BradBrown, on 12/07/2008, -1/+9Let's put one on Amy Winehouse!
- inactive, on 12/07/2008, -3/+11Unfortunately, some of the photographs taken by the family gerbil were considered too shocking and had to be deleted.
- IveDefected, on 12/07/2008, -0/+8I wish I had one of those for my cat. I've noticed sometimes he comes back with what appears to be singed whiskers. I wonder what shennanigans he gets into.
- billbixby29, on 12/07/2008, -9/+16what kind of an ***** has a rotary phone?
- CraigReed, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6I see that you have learned the ways of digg...
- Dudemeyster, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6If you go to the original guy's site there's actually a picture of this new guy's cat and camera.
http://www.mr-lee-catcam.de/cc_calendar.htm - Nairebis, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6Apparently you're a city dweller. The purpose of cats is to catch mice and rats. Didn't you ever watch Tom & Jerry?
- spookyttws, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6I must point out that the poster was not the writer of this, I don't actually know who originally posted it, but it's been around the net for a long while. Give "Excerpts from a Cat's Diary" a Google.
- billbixby29, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6right, because no city ever had mice or rats.
- IamDexx, on 12/07/2008, -6/+12Gotto love cat people =D
- Anzat, on 12/07/2008, -0/+6Was its name Nermal?
- BrianD2, on 12/07/2008, -0/+5You had me at cat.
- vagarach, on 12/07/2008, -2/+7Dude its retro cool, get with the times! :D
- youannoyme, on 12/07/2008, -0/+4How? Just because the owners engineered the whole situation doesn't mean the cat didn't do everything mentioned in the title and description...
- dgn3, on 12/07/2008, -2/+6I wish I was a cat...
- FunkyWitDaSysTm, on 12/07/2008, -0/+4that cat got some pretty cool shots. the flikr stream is great, too. wow. wish i could be that cat for a day.
