No, this is not the same idea your tom cat has for an infinite number of cats when he's yowling to get out at night. It is a series of pictures of cats looking at all the other cats on a computer monitor.
According to Mike Stanfill, this is how it began:
It all began innocently enough when a user on a Mac help forum posted a picture of his cat, Frankie, contemplating the beauty of a flower. Shortly afterwards another user posted a picture of his cat, Sammy, bristling at the picture of the cat on the monitor. I decided this was too much fun and advanced the concept as The Infinite Cat Project.
The most recent picture shows Fred watching Foma & Frosya, watching Dora, watching Percy, watching Dante, watching Kazoo, watching Starbuck, watching Jack, watching Cinnamon, watching Wrigley, watching Annie, watching Molly, watching Torin, watching Chloe, watching Bebe, watching Luna, watching Frida, watching Sammy, watching Spot, watching Brad Kitt & Cat Stevens, watching Fumphy, watching Ugly, watching Clyde, watching Cat1, watching Pixel, watching KC, watching Wookie, watching Jackie, watching Tiger, watching Farrusko, watching Skinny White Boy, watching Peaker, watching Brit, watching Plien, watching Eunheui, watching Datsa, watching Tasha, watching Duma, watching "99", watching Snowball, watching Hawkeye, watching Copper, watching Fritz, watching Zoot, watching Abby, watching Frankie, watching Poozy, watching Frankie, watching Sammy, watching Frankie.
This sounds interesting...if I can clear off enough room on my desk for all three cats to sit on it.

You might like to know that the Infinite Cat Project now has its own web site: www.infinitecat.com
I used to host it on my art site but it got a little too big for its internet britches. You'll find lots of new features on the expanded edition.
Cheers!
