Livescience.com says the project D.C. Cat Count is being put together to better manage cats living in the Washington, D.C., area. The project will take three years and cost $1.5 million. Scientists, animal welfare organizations, and citizens will do counting using camera traps, household surveys, and analyses at shelters. The group hopes to create a phone app that will allow citizens to send in photos of cats they see in the area.n
