Today, it’s World Cat Day ; to celebrate this special day, we chose to give a shout out to an amazing project : “I Know Where Your Cat Lives”.
Here is how they appear on their site :
“I Know Where Your Cat Lives is a data experiment that visualizes a sample of 1 million public pics of cats on a world map, locating them by the latitude and longitude coordinates embedded in their metadata. The cats were accessed via publicly available APIs provided by popular photo sharing websites. The photos were then run through various clustering algorithms using a supercomputer at Florida State University in order to represent the enormity of the data source.
(…) This website doesn’t visualize all of the cats on the net, only the ones that allow you to track where their owners have been.”
Do you think that you’re going to be there ?

We have heard that tracking system. Not sure I want to be on that list. We did not know it was world cat day.
What a great picture of each of you. You all have a fantastic Friday.
We thought every day was World Cat Day!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We celebrate International Cat Day, because it’s official worldwide, but of course the 365 days of the year are all Cat Days too ! Purrs
Well, we missed the memo this year about World Cat Day. But we think every day is our day. Oh and we checked the map and we’re not being tracked yet!
That is kind of scary- my cats don’t want to be tracked. It is amazing how far technology has come though.
happee werld cat day zorro & pixie !! heerz two a grate week oh end with de hopes plentee of smelt & salmon iz on yur plates ♥
I check that site periodically – to make sure I’m NOT on it!
We saw that but we’re not on the map yet. Are YOU!?!?
CATZ ROOLZ!!
We found one picture of Angel Loupi that was taken by a friend. Mum doesn’t allow her camera and iPhoto to geotag the photos, so we didn’t find anything else about us. Purrs
Happy World Cat Day!
I wonder if I are on there . . .
What a great idea to tie that site with its cats around the world to World Cat Day!
hmmmm…does this mean our secret napping spots will be revealed?
Could be…. Be careful with geotag ! Purrs
Happy World Cat Day!
HAppy belated World Cat Day !
Looks cool with a cat-map , but I don´t think you will find me there
XOXO
We never geo-tag anything. We need some privacy. Hope you’re having une bonne weekend!
Fascinating! I love the idea, if it helped anyone find a cat wouldn’t that be interesting. It’s the same as google maps. I was really mad they didn’t ask us before they photographed our houses thank goodness they didn’t photograph the cat beds (many we like our sleep!!)

We missed the memo on World Cat Day.. but that’s okay. Hope you all enjoyed it! We have heard of that cat tracking site and are pleased to say we are NOT on it! MOL! Interesting concept.
Happy World Cat Day!
We are pretty sure we are not on that site .
