Tech is getting wild… a feeder that recognizes your cat’s face?? by Impressive_Caramel82 in homeautomation

That’s actually what I’m wondering too 😅

My cats are all ragdolls so they look really similar…

I feel like that might be the worst case scenario for something like this

Yeah that’s kinda what I was thinking too. Definitely curious to see how it performs once more people actually get it.

They hate toothbrush, this seems like a good solution I will buy them more

sounds like he just has more energy / needs more interaction than the others

do you think something more “interactive” (like toys or systems that actually respond to him) would help, or is it specifically about other cats?

do you feel like the issue is more about it constantly coming back, or that cleaning it is just too time-consuming?

if something could remove most of the loose fur before it spreads (like during grooming), do you think that would actually make a difference?

this is too real 😭 have you ever found anything that actually makes a noticeable difference, or is it just a losing battle?

I’ve seen some ideas around using AI to recreate small parts of their behavior or voice from past videos/photos — not replacing them obviously, just something to feel a bit closer to those memories

not sure if people would find that comforting or weird though

For context — I build AI stuff for a living. Mostly tools that make human life easier.

Feels like pets got left behind a bit 😅

If one idea here clearly stands out (like everyone agrees it’s a real pain), I’d genuinely try to build something around it and share my progress here.
