Cat Recognition Algorithms?

cats catch mice, thats what they do

see thats why i dont believe in having house pets

having pets are fine when you are ina cabin in the woods, but when you torture a cat or dog keeping it locked up in a house, and over feed it, then modify its behavior with gadgets like this, i just feel its wrong.

Let the cat be a cat

Cat's aren't that smart.. neither are we

I just can't believe that a cat would figure out "the system" and know the reason it's not being let in is due to having a bird in it's mouth.

Imagine if your landlord (assuming you have one) did a similar thing. I always forget my detachable face stereo in the car, what if my landlord decided that he'd rig the front door to not unlock unless I had my stereo in my hand (you know, because he cares :).

Would I figure it out? Or would I wonder what the fuck is up with my goddamn front door? It sometimes works, it sometimes doesnt, I'd definately better call my landlord and bitch about it until he fixes it.
