http://cats.yourwildlife.org/Cats are mysterious, dangerous and far more unpredictable than one might expect from an animal that is, theoretically, domesticated. Some of the mysteries of cats relate to where they go and what they do; this is especially true of cats that go outdoors. We open our doors. They leave. Just where they go, we cant be sure. Or rather we couldnt be sure, until now. With your help, were investigating the movement of domesticated cats across the landscape. We want to know: Where do they go? What are they eating? What do they bring home, microbially speaking?

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,267 posts)1. From the back of the couch to the top of the refrigerator
thence to a patch of sunlight on the living room floor, then to the kitchen for a snack, then to the litter box, then to scratch the cat tree for awhile, then to the window sill, then to the back of the couch again. Occasionally there is a side trip into another dimension, but I don't think GPS works there.

They used GPS harnesses to follow where the various cats in a neighborhood went. Some of the results were surprising, to the humans.

She's either indoors or in the backyard, most of the time.

In Guards, Guards! he explains the theory of L-Space. It even has its own wiki.
