'I Know Where Your Cat Lives' is a project that takes the metadata from photos of cats that are uploaded online and pinpoints these locations on a map. There are over 15 million images tagged with the word "cat" online, and this project brings some humor to the spread of felines on the web.
A visit to the site will take you to a Google Map, which shows all of the locations where cats have had their photos taken. You can either find a cat at random, or browse to see which neighborhoods are the most cat-crazed. With all of this data, the site also puts together charts and graphs showing which countries are the most guilty of sharing the most cat photos. The project is now on Kickstarter to further its development.
