Depends - if their 'ground-breaking' technology is whacking a GPS on a moggy, I'm not going to be majorly impressed

[vereybowring]

Lots of people already lo-jack their cats so I doubt that's the ground breaking bit.
Perhaps some nice fibre optic wireless camera gear on kitty collars as well as teams with night vision gear lurking about the place.

[Jen]

Hmmm...

'In a groundbreaking experiment, 50 cats from a village in Surrey are
tagged with GPS collars and their every movement is recorded, day and
night, as they hunt in our backyards and patrol the garden fences and
hedgerows.'

Nope, it's GPS collars. Didn't they do this a few years back?

Also, they did a survey of cat owners and stuck a micro camera on some cats, too. Mildly interesting, wouldn't call it ground-breaking myself! Probably will watch it though

I don't think I really want to know what lunatic Suki gets up to when she's out & about..................

Well, mine is currently having a short nap to recover from all that sleeping he did overnight and in preparation for the day's main snoozing...

Mines the same hes asleep in my bed, after waking me up at 4.15 this morning with him sat on my chest purring his head off and dribbling on my face, so had 2 get up and feed him, just 2 shut him up

Already set the Sky box to record this.
I'd rather not know what my cat gets up to when he leaves the house tbh.

Archie, Angel ( we did not choose that name he just moved in with us from next door ) and Midge have been informed. I await their critique nervousley!

[fiddles]

Going off on a slight tangent but take a look at this video video.uk.msn.com/watch/video/two-faced-kitten-rare-janus-cat-born-in-oregon/2gpg1sj2?from=gallery_en-gb&sf=Relevancy#23



aaawww blesss is all I could think

[Jen]

I reckon the Daily Mash has it right...clicky

[ChillerVapes]

I watched it, I found it interesting and wished they had gone into more detail or at least made a series out of it.

[DiscoDes]

I fell asleep watching then woke up at 4:30 am on the sofa, hence the early posts......................

There is a 30 minute follow up Horizon programme tonight on Beeb 2 at 10pm which looks at the cats who stood out in the experiment conducted in The Secret Life of the Cat.
