Israel may have been the Start-Up Nation for a while now, but never was that title more deserved than right this second. That’s because an Israeli start-up has created something that might just completely change the way we see our world our cat’s world.

Cat2See appears to be a device that allows users to solve one of the most vexing questions of our era: what does my cat do all day long? It’s a roving webcam, feeding device, and toy, all of which can be operated remotely from a smartphone. Plus there’s a way to share photos from the webcam, because cats.

We may never know if Jews are a cat people or a dog people, but that doesn’t mean we won’t helicopter parent our cats like nobody’s business. I’m talking about you, Cat Stevens.
