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

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 ;)
