Default Google Street View for cats

This is a clever idea:

If they did it in our village and followed where my Ollie went, the
camera would be looking down off high walls and deep inside thick
thornbushes.

BBC did some like that, but better, last year.

Cat Watch 2014, 3 parts, and they followed cats in the city,
suburbs, and country using GPS collars.

PLUS lots more.

watched the link but got fed up with the advertising videos waiting for it
to start.
I often wish I had a camera on Boyfies's collar. I'd really to know where
he goes when he is out. I know goes down my own long garden, he checks the
chicken huts for mice and small ratties, but I also know he jumps the front
gate where the road is. I saw him do it today. I'd prefer that he wouldn't
do that. But he does sigh

I'd love to know where he goes when he is "out on the front" as I call it.
I like him to be "out in the back"
I was talking to Grace-over-the-road yesterday. At 92 or 3, she was tending
her front garden and showed me a flower bed that was full of cat poo. I
said "well, it's not my cat that did it" and she said "how do you know?"
I said, well that poo is sort of white, plus my cats poo is brown and he
does his poo in the bath now, which is the only time I felt grateful for
that!

Grace agreed that Boyfie has has so much land to poo in, that it is unlikely
to be him. I know exactly who the cat is. It's one who lives 2 doors away
from Grace, and is shut out all day. He cannot get into his own back garden
and meatloafs on the front doorstep waiting the whole day. They hardly seem
to let him in at all. Yet they objected big time when he tried to move in
with a neighbour and accused them of stealing their cat, seducing it away.
Big argument ensued..so the neighbour stopped letting him visit so now he
waits outside still. All day, he sits on the doorstep and some of the
evening

FGS, if you cannot look after your cat properly, let a neighbour do it who
can.
