One of the interesting things about web cams is that as they foster familiarity, they also favor the familiar human urge to impose narrative. One of the advantages of these narratives is that – unlike the tales of Ernest Thompson Seton or the images presented in museum dioramas – they can’t be scripted.

The traditional, supposedly humane answer to the glut of feral cats has been institution of “TNR” programs – trap, neuter, return.
