Definitely a new cat. I suspect this one may be a pet who sometimes goes outside. We've seen it before but it's been a while and we couldn't be sure it wasn't "Slim". He has an unclipped ear, white boots and half the size of Slim. Here he is by a sighting of slim in the same spot.
His infrequent sightings and unclipped ear make me think he may be a pet. Maybe the AI project will be useful after all and we can use it to only trap cats with unclipped ears and leave the others alone.

Chevy Dealer's AI Chatbot Allegedly Sold A New Tahoe For $1, Recommended Fords - The Autopian
These days, every online retailer you can think of has some kind of chatbot. Classically, these were about as intelligent as old-school phone systems, able to pull out a few keywords and direct you (maybe) where you wanted to go. Auto dealerships have more recently been implementing advanced AI...

All the programmers are worried about AI, but I'm telling ya man - the recruiters are the ones who should be sweating. Their job doesn't even need AI - you can do what most em do with just grep. I've been told to add more buzzwords - not just to the entire resume, but to repeat buzzwords for each job where applicable.

Ai (courtesy of LinkedIn) offered to write me a letter of application yesterday. I decided to us Ri (Real Intelligence) instead.

Apparently, ice age giant marsupials still roam North America. Those portals on the cat shelter are 6" dia

That's too funny. We were joking about his hand like front paws. He will actually grip your finger tip with his paw pads. I've never had a cat that let me play with their toe beans like him and he seems to love it. He also does weird stuff like folding his paws like hands.
He's a pretty normal cat by day but at bed time he gets super snuggly and will make biscuits on your face and last night ran his paws through my hair. That was kinda cool but weird. Almost regret neutering this one, maybe could've been the next step in cat domestication.

Finally a new development in the saga. Decided the most economical camera solution was a cheap security cam, and did some research to figure out how to do that securely (hint - security cameras ain't all that secure). Found a $40 camera (oh yeah - I did land a job finally btw) that fit my security criteria). Anyway - I'm still working out the software side - but it's a basic security camera software - and once I get it triggering events correctly and not filling up my hard drive we can process those with our own AI solution.
Up till now we've been using a gamecam, unloading the sdcard to get the pics.
But we got another peek at Bandit and Taz. I used the talkback to say "Hi Bandit" and this is the moment where she looks up and says "Oh crap it's that man! I thought you said the coast was clear?!" "I didn't see anybody! How was I to know?"

At least I think it's Taz. We can barely tell em apart by day and thats 60% behavior/gait. Under the IR cam forget about it.

Only 2nd time with Covid in 4 years. Can't sleep because I'm so miserable so I'm up taunting opossumata on the front porch with the motion camera/light/pan tilt. Hey buddy - that's CAT food you're eating.

Evicted a Squatter tonight! Caught in the act and still needed multiple prods with the stick to go.

Im buying 80lb sacks of dog food from Dollar General. The birds, cats, mice, turtles, and raccoons love it... ironically, there's not a single dog who wants it.
I wonder what I'd catch if I put out fish food.

I can verify that cat food won't catch squirrels. We just had one in the attic, which sucks because it's ALWAYS female. Marshmallows and sunflower seeds did though. I kinda knew this but my thinking was if it's a raccoon or possum in the attic that's a much much higher priority than a squirrel, which is mostly a nuisance.
There's a squirrel at the bottom of a hole. There's a squirrel. There's a squirrel...
