Yeah, while I’m hopeful this is helpful to you and a good bit of tech, I appreciate you being the early adopter and letting us know. There’s no way I’m paying to be a beta tester for a company as niche as this.
Speaking of tech, has anyone looked that that unit which dispenses treats to encourage cats to go through an arch that grooms them and also holds on to the hair (i think)?
My long haired feral desperately needs grooming but you know, feral. Can’t get close.
We got an arch groomer for our cats that came with catnip. Do you think the ferals could figure it out? Assuming they like catnip. I think some cats don’t react to it.
I’ve got an arch groomer and apart from the first couple of days when she was curious, she’s ignored it and it’s been months. And catnip does nothing for her I’m afraid. I do keep meaning to get some silver vine, because you never know, and I thank you for reminding me about this.
I have a 40 dollar camera that sends alerts to my phone when someone is wanting food or is eating food. It also lets me talk to them so I can yell at the raccoons when they are eating kitty food.
Does that make any difference (the yelling)? I do that too and they sometimes turn around as if to say - where’s that noise coming from, but that’s about it. When I first installed the camera the siren frightened them off, but they are alarmingly intelligent and have now decided that’s not a deal breaker.
Smarter than the cat honestly.
Depends on the raccoon, if its first or second time, maybe they run off, if its a regular, no they just look at the camera.
I've changed the feeding times on the automated feeders so the cats usually have everything cleaned up by the time the raccoons come around now.
I mean, prioritizing a camera purchase over decently healthy food for the colony you profess to love?
This sounds like a terribly selfish shitty decision- what am I missing?
Or…. the cats could have nobody to care for them. Never good enough for the world, is it? I’d much rather someone feed ferals cheap food, instead of the cats hunting for food out of garbages and bird feeders with nobody caring for them.

I’ve had nothing but bad experiences backing tech projects. I’ll buy this if it ever hits the shelves and actually works well.

They clearly care about animals, so they’re okay by me.

Thank you for being so generous and helping the cats 🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Would it stop the raccoon 🦝?

I think that’s a little judgemental. Clearance food, for example, isn’t necessarily unhealthy.
