Ffs no one needs a “smart” pet feeder.
The sooner the AI obsession ends, the better.
Just a built-in timer was too complicated huh. Have to put it in the cloud somehow.
You can just use a cheap gravity feeder and free feed for a few days, they’ll be fine. Attach them to a piece of plywood so they can’t knock them over. Test it for a few days before you leave so they get used to it.
Some cats can’t control themselves around food and will try to eat as much as possible in one go, that will have a very negative effect on them, of course. But trying gravity feeder includes checking if your cat is compatible with the concept, I guess
Have a small child and make them stay home with the cat, use gravity feed for the child. Problem solved.
““I’ve lost trust and don’t have time to find a new solution for upcoming travel. I have someone coming for check-ins, but they can’t come in 5 times every day to give food,” a Reddit user [said]”
They shouldn’t have pets if they can’t figure out how to take care of the pet without a smart device. Are you too dumb to own a pet? Check. That also makes you too dumb to have kids.
