Awesome project. Wonder if author would eventually replace mock prey images with real camera shots with positive detections :)

But I wonder... is it common to let a cat walk freely outside, unsupervised? In my perception, author's either putting his pet to danger, has a good fencing or must be living in awesomely nice neighborhood.

It's common I'd say. And I live in a small village with lots of room.

Here are some real images (including hard cases): https://github.com/JoakimSoderberg/catcierge-examples/tree/m...

I got lots more, just haven't uploaded them

It's very common to let cats walk freely outside. It's actually a bit of a problem: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/science/that-cuddly-kitty-...

Yes, it is very common, at least in Scandinavia. And the author lives in Sweden.
