Hide your kids, hide your wife -- hide your cats.
There's a new data visualization project in town called "I Know Where Your Cat Lives." It crawls the Internet collecting metadata -- specifically, the 15 million images tagged "cat" -- and then creates the perfect cyberstalking map detailing each feline's exact whereabouts.

Created by Florida State University art professor Owen Mundy, the project functions in two ways: as a thought experiment in how we approach online privacy when it's not our own privacy, and also as a resource for people on the Internet who just really like humor and felines.
Mundy just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for "I Know Where Your Cat Lives." The funds will go toward keeping up with web-hosting expenses, as cat data and page traffic continues to build.
You've been warned, chronic Cat-stagrammers: Catstalkers are now officially on the prowl for your geotags.
