How close was the cat to the camera?  The cameras are focused for distance and closeups will be fuzzy.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

I don't have the cam but I do know, if the image video is clear and is saved as a jpg or gif the image _may _ become blurry while saving. IF you have the option to save it as a bmp or png that might be better?? bmp files will not or at lest shouldn't become pixulated.

A couple of things to check !
1: under perferences click on still capture move the slide bar to highest Quality ;)
2: under perferences click on still general video  set the capture to  640X480 ;)
