I'd like to see what and how the camera was attacked to the cat. My cat wouldn't tolerate anything on their person(?) for anything longer than a second.

- martin_a 7y agoI tried it with my cat and although he is normally very relaxed and handles even rougher "touches" very well, the action cam really freaked him out.

- newnewpdro 7y agoIt depends on the cat, they can be conditioned to accept things like collars and even leashes if you start early enough. A friend once attached a servo to the collar of his appendage-friendly cat with a long carbon rod protruding in front of his cat's head carrying a small cat toy on the end. The receiver and small battery pack hung from the collar bottom to keep things oriented. It only lasted for brief periods of amusement before the rig would get destroyed in the chaos, but in those short functional windows he could influence his cat's steering by radio control. I don't think he ever figured out how to add a throttle control.
- Kliment 7y agoThere's a photo of the third author (the cat that motivated the experiment) near the end of the paper[1]. They state that they tried it on a lot of cats, and many rejected the cameras.
