As a former dog owner and first time cat dad I was amazed at how cats are "potty trained" practically from birth. I was prepared to deal with the s...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
This is freaking AWESOME... and hilarious too! Nicely done, Fernando. š
Also, while the stats section may seem a bit silly, my wife (a veterinarian as you know) said that when a pet gets blocked it often goes undetected until the pet vomits or shows extreme signs of discomfort. If you're able to see how frequently (or rather infrequently) your cat is going, you're more likely to know if she is no longer regular and then you know to take your cat in for a checkup. So, the stats are kind of a health perk!
I didnāt consider the health/vetās perspective and now feel less silly for keeping track of those stats haha thanks Michael (and Katelyn too lol)! š
Incredible application of IRL observability! š
LOL thank you for this.

Your style of writing is awesome and and very engaging ha ha ha ha
Thanks! Glad it was a fun read š
You're not alone in the RAW POWER of your cat's displays of dominance aka:š©!
Our cat has movements like a beast man! and rarely covers them. Just to tell us who is in charge.
I love the project, great!
Man, I wish I thought of that when I had a cat. Of course, when I had a cat I was a teenager in middle school and only cared about how many Mama Celeste pizzas I could eat in a sitting. That's brilliant.
interesting post lmao
Given the title, I thought you were going to tell us how your cat learned to use the Raspberry Pi š
Nice idea.
I can heavily recommend you look at home assistant for this kind of stuff. It can make all your automation work locally (so no internet needed, and no amazon data collection) and you could do this with no code (or soldering, if you used zigbee sensors/switches) needed. I've been really enjoying using it for random (and cloudless) home automation stuff, the quality of HA is much better than it has any right to be.
That said, love the idea, and I might have to get a zigbee motion sensor for my cat boxes.
Home assistant was something I considered and will likely play with in the future. I didnāt know about zigbee devices, they seem cool. Thanks for the suggestions!
Good luck trying it out for your cats. I would love to read about that setup in the future if youāre ever interested in a write up afterwards šš¼
Keeping up with your cat's what?
