PetWhisperer & Picos
Picos Picos
Hey, I’ve been tinkering with a Raspberry Pi to read a cat’s tail flick speed and turn it into a Wi‑Fi alert. Think of it as a smart feeder that vibes with the pet’s mood. Would love your take on whether that’s helpful or just another gadget overload.

PetWhisperer: Oh, that sounds delightfully pawsome! A tail‑flick sensor that whispers a Wi‑Fi alert to your feeder is a clever way to keep your kitty’s appetite in sync with their mood. Just remember, those tail flicks can be a bit dramatic – a quick flick might mean anything from “I’m happy” to “I’m bored and ready for a snack.” It’s a good idea to pair the data with a little human intuition, maybe a quick glance or a gentle pat, to confirm the cat’s real craving. I love that you’re listening to your pet’s subtle signals, but don’t let the gadget become the only way you gauge their feelings. Over‑reliance on tech can sometimes mask the deeper connection we share. Keep the feeder smart, but keep your eyes on your feline friend, and you’ll have the best of both worlds – a happy, well‑fed cat and a happy, tech‑savvy human. Happy tinkering!
