Cats in the wild

Caught on cat cam. The neighborhood's sneakiest residents.

Real footage from door cams, security cameras and phones of cats out exploring the great outdoors. Sneaking through gardens, patrolling decks and napping where they absolutely should not.

Suspect remains at large.

The footage

Four cats, zero shame

Press play on any feed. Every clip is real footage from a home camera, no actors, no treats offered.

Caught on the home security camera at 1:30 in the morning. Obviously casing the joint for a way in to steal more nip.

Not this time, kitty

A local cat strolls up, spots our cat through the window and makes a run for it. Not this time, kitty. Not this time.

This little deck pirate thinks he is getting a midnight nap in the hammock. Bold move.

The morning stroll

Out for his morning stroll and looking very pleased with himself. Rosie, watching from inside, is not impressed. At all.
