Every time this is posted I wonder if one could improve the backend so it doesn't take 5-10 seconds for a video stream to connect. Right now it's quite populated, but if I ever check it otherwise it's like this: wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 7 seconds, leave.

Funny that The Feline Relaxing Place is currently the least "relaxed" place.

I was reading that this is actually for neutering cats and that there is some deep dark secret behind these, might be something else tho.

Have known about this site for a while and it's very cute.

A lot of these enclosures are almost identical. There are only tiny differences. Is this a cat boarding house or something?

Reminds me of the days when you could look up public camera feeds with a specific string in a google search. Some of the camera pages had controls! Spent a day with friends in a college dorm scrolling through them.

Does anyone know what cat feeder they use?

There are many cameras spying on cats. People are not concerned about private data being broadcasted of our feline overlords.

Why does everyone have the same container?

i'd love to have a sort of chatroulette/omegele app for my cats to "socialize" with other cats while I'm away, but it's the internet so I know that it'd get filled with trolls.
