A js anti cat photo-bombing library! My cat likes to get into every pic we take around the living room (not sure why). I hope this and other technologies could help serve as a strategic deterrent against him - we're on to you :)

I love it. Hopefully I'll be able to integrate it as chrome extension so I can block all cats on reddit and other sites.

Wasn't this also on HN a few months ago? Or a year perhaps. I definitely remember some sort of cat face detection in Javascript.

I was thinking that cameras should have this feature - they can detect humans smiling at the camera, but what we really need is a camera that can take a photo of a cat _while_ its looking in the right direction dammit

Or use it to block everything but cats, greatly improving your internet experience.

I'm pretty sure the Intercat overlords are not going to be pleased. I was thinking about going to TXJS this weekend but think I'll stay home and build my feline shrine to Intercats instead.

Looks like it has improved since then. Nifty :-)
