So, I rented a FLIR thermal imaging camera for the weekend, for the serious purpose of checking the windows and overall insulation of our house.

But you can also take cat pictures with this thing.

Photo of a cat sitting and looking at the camera, taken with a FLIR thermal imaging camera, so it's a heat map of the cat. Its head is glowing bright yellow, especially its eyes and ears. The rest of the body is coloured a softer orange against the red and purple of the cooler background of the rest of the room.

@sunpigMartin Sutherland I got a cheap IR camera from AliExpress. It isn't the resolution of a Flir, but it's good enough.

Baxter the floofy cat, in Infrared. Most of him is near background temperature, but heat is escaping though ruffles in his fur, his eyes and nose.
