This Raspberry Pi project can identify stray cats in your garden, and safely scare off birds if need be

I like this project not only for the recognition and photographing of stray cats (or maybe to identify neighbours' cats straying into your yard), but the bird "scaring" part is nice and safe to use if you have a problem with birds sitting on your window sill and setting off your alarm beams.

The project can probably be adapted for other purposes too.

Raspberry Pis have finally found their ultimate goal: looking at cats.

A black cat under a garden chair seen through a window. They apparently stopped eating from a bowl to look at the human photographing them. A miniature camera is taped to the glass, with a flat cable running into a microcontroller board taped to the frame.

Thanks I'll see how to add that here - I do add it to my main blog images, but your description was a bit better than mine ;-)

@Ángela Stella Matutina actually not sure I can set an alt text as this image is pulled through with the link from the referenced site i.e. I don't upload and insert the iamge inside my post?

Oh, I see we ran into one of the inconsistencies in the brave new world of federated protocols. No matter, you tried your best. There goes your boost!
