Tweeting Cats

Cats on the internet are getting out of control. Not only have cutesy cat videos become ubiquitous, more cats are blogging (as you know, so is one of mine), and now they are Twittering.

The UK's Metro reports that an cat owner has rigged up his cat flap to report the comings and goings of his feline friends. The article says:

One clever cat owner has rigged up a cat flap that only allows authorised cats (identified using RFID tags) through, and sends real-time information about the cat-flap usage to the internet.

Naturally, this being 2009, the information is sent directly to Twitter, so the entire world can follow the cats' daily peregrinations via messages like 'Gus is out to sit on the porch' and 'Penny is in to vomit in owners shoes.'

Now, while I do admit that this is fairly ridiculous thing to do, I do think it's a pretty clever use of Twitter, which is a fairly ridiculous thing anyway.

Wait until Aggie hears about this! I'm worried that she'll start tweeting with the rest of the kitty twits and posting them on her blog. Yikes.
