I tried a few different photos of multiple cats. It'd always get 1 correct positive, but never more than 1 correct positive. In every image's case, it would have multiple false positives in a cat's fur patterns. Here's one example: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--RBVfn6FzOI/Tq5kOxFGKEI/AAAAAAAACnM/LaiZLD0sUKY/s1600/cats.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--RBVfn6FzOI/Tq5kOxFGKEI/AAAAAAAACn... Neat start, though. I have a particular interest in this subject as I'm entertain schemes that allow our cats into our garage while locking neighborhood cats out. I ran into similar issues with fur patterns during image processing techniques. I'll probably end up relying on a more simple solution: RFID tags attach to their collars.

Your cat may already have an RFID tag - they're used in the process of "chipping" cats so that they can be traced if they find themselves at a vet without their owner. If there is one, it'll be on the back of their neck.

  These tags tend to migrate, particularly in older animals. Shelter workers are trained to check the entire animal as the tags often end up on the animal's side or stomach.
