Yeah, let’s level it up. Add a weight sensor under the bowl so the system knows exactly how much food’s left, not just a timer. Pair that with a microcontroller—Arduino or ESP32 works—and feed data to a cloud API. You can set thresholds: if the weight drops below a set value, trigger a push notification or an IoT message. For extra smartness, use a small camera to verify the cat is actually eating, or a RFID tag on her collar to confirm it’s her tail‑ing the feeder. Finally, integrate a learning algorithm that maps feeding times to her activity level—so it can suggest optimal portions and remind you when she’s due for a vet check. It’s all about turning raw data into actionable alerts.
