This makes it to the front page once every few months
Really, that's surprising, I thought once it made it once it would be bookmarked by every HN cat owner out there. Must have missed it the last few times!

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Now that the Intercats know what is possible, that's probably a good idea. May I suggest a sacrificial ball-of-string alter? Or possibly a cardboard box with a laser-pointer-disco-ball inside (This may be impossible, but try for Intercat's Glory). Cardboard boxes seem to be an integral part of the feline spirituality.
Oooh, I really love that cardboard box idea, not only as a shrine, but as a weekend project for my own Intercats. It may in fact be impossible but I think with the Intercat as my spiritual guide, I've got a good chance.
If you achieve said shrine, can you post photos?

#26I 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
I prefer one that takes a picture of a cat and knows when it is bringing something home. See http://hackaday.com/2010/05/14/cat-door-unlocks-via-facial-r... for more.
