MARIETTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Some creative city Atlanta cats are flaunting their creative side in hopes of discovering a permanently home — and they’re getting some modern help.
The cats and kittens at the non-profit animal well-being organization Best Friends Animal Society in Marietta are developing self-portraits with the help of expert system. It’s a widely known truth that cats like to disrupt their hectic human beings by walking throughout the computer system keyboard. But where colleagues and the one in charge might see email typos, Best Friends sees art.
“It’s such a great opportunity to work with something fun like this,” said Erica Chandler, Best Friends Animal Society’s shelter collaborations planner. “It just intrigues adopters.”
Best Friends took the cats’ keystrokes — when it comes to a cat called Rudy, “;lol,k” — and entered them into an AI program, in addition to a photo of the cat. The result is a unique cat self-portrait.
Chandler says when you adopt among the shelter’s skilled cats, you likewise get to keep their art work.
“Not only are you taking home a wonderful kitten or cat, but you’re also taking home a true artist,” Chandler said.
According to Best Friends, 55% of the animals killed in shelters in 2015 were cats, making them the most susceptible shelter population. The not-for-profit, which is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters by 2025, says cat adoptions are totally free through completion of the month thanks to a contribution from Whisker, the maker of Litter-Robot.
