Well, it’s finally happened – Cooper is now shooting with a Video Cat Cam! We’ve been working on getting it up and running for a couple of weeks and today he went outside with it for the first time. It’s about the same size as his still photo camera, very lightweight, and doesn’t seem to bother him at all when he’s wearing it.
We currently have the Video Cat Cam set to shoot video for 2 minutes then sleep for 2 minutes. It’s really interesting to watch the unedited footage – such a different experience than going through the still photos from his original camera.
In this video you’ll see Cooper spy on some dogs being walked, leap up on top of an 8-foot fence and enter his cat door to eat an afternoon snack.
Many of you who have been following Cooper’s work over the years have noticed that he’s not shot any photos of “wild” animals in the neighborhood. We think the video camera is going to be our best opportunity to see birds and squirrels as Cooper lurks in the bushes.
Next time he goes out to shoot video we plan to change the camera settings to shoot 1 minute and sleep for 3 minutes to give him a greater chance of actually moving – he spends a lot of time in one hiding spot before moving on to the next!
The camera came from our friends at Mr Lee’s Cat Cam who are also the makers of Cooper’s original camera.
Cooper is currently attacking the Christmas tree. You can look forward to video footage of him being squirted with the spray bottle and shown to the door.
Happy Holidays! We’re offering 10% off of all Cooper’s prints (both framed and unframed) from now until the end of the holiday season! A Cooper original makes a great gift for the cat-lover in your life. Or you could put it on your own wish-list for Christmas!

When it comes to photography, Cooper is on top of his game!
“Rendezvous” is one of Cooper’s all-time favorites.
For the first year that Cooper was shooting photos we didn’t see a single shot of another animal! We were so worried that he had no friends. Maybe we’d raised such a charming people-loving feline that all other cats wanted nothing to do with him. After his appearance on Animal Planet in December, word must have gotten ’round to the neighborhood cats, because now Cooper has loads of friends! Okay, he only has three that we know of, but they sure look nice.
a fun way for Cooper to connect with his fans. They ran an exclusive contest for their readers to win a Cooper Photographer Cat Magnet.
Last week we shipped Cooper’s photo exhibit on to it’s next great location. This morning we flew to Chicago for the opening of his new six month exhibit! It takes place at the
