Hah ... you want the video the BBC made about 'The life of cats' where they=
 spent about 3 months filming the life of cats in an English village. They =
managed to get all the villagers to attach a small collar mounted GPS recei=
ver to each cat, and when the cats came in for feeding they changed the SD =
card that the captured data was stored on.

As they analysed the data (they did some good tracking maps on screen overl=
aying aerial photos of the village) they decided to attach some cameras to =
the half dozen cats that most interested them.
