Oh gosh, yes if I lived that far away I don't know if I could handle it. I can get home in 7 minutes. When I first got it they kept taking the camera network down to work on it I guess, it always stressed me out. Once when I had 2 wire crates hooked together I got to work, eventually got around to loading her camera page and her crate was empty w/ door open. I flew home thinking, what if someone saw me leave, broke in and stole her -- of course I get home and she's out, happy as a lark. I had changed her puppy pad and forgot to close the other door! She still can't be trusted to use her puppy pad if i'm not home.
Oh my goodness, that is HILARIOUS about the cat. I can just see that. I love it!
