Feeding time at my home zoo is a chore because the animals enjoy each other’s food. It’s necessary for me to lock the pets in different parts of my home to prevent them from eating their siblings’ dinners. So I really need a <a href="https://www.instructables.com/Cat-and-Dog-Selective-Feeder/">gadget like this</a> by Instructables member tomasdiazwahl.His cat is diabetic and needs a special diet. He needs only his food and all of his food, so tomasdiazwahl combined an Arduino Uno and a bathroom scale to trigger the opening and closing of the cat’s covered food dish. It opens only by the cat’s known weight within half a pound.-via <a href="https://hackaday.com/2022/09/18/load-cells-to-get-the-right-pet-the-right-food/">Hack A Day</a>#cat #feeder #DIY

A Selective Feeder for Different Pets

This is Audrey's cat Mipha modeling her new custom-made bedroom. Audrey's dad, Tor, bought a vintage cabinet-style television set at an estate sale, and removed the picture tube to make a cat cubbyhole for Audrey's three cats, Noodle, Juniper, and Mipha. But he went further and used a decorative stove pipe flue cover over the hole in the back left by the cathode ray tube, and then added an overhead light inside with a dimmer! You can control the light with the television's brightness knob. Yes, we used to have knobs for such things.

Then he added Mipha's favorite bed an a little catnip, and she's found her place. You can see <a href="https://digg.com/animals/link/tv-cat-bed-renovation-photos-story-rjLhQESrbj">more of the TV bed, Mipha, and the other cats</a> at Digg.&nbsp;It turns out that quite a few non-working appliances are just the right size to use as a fancy cat bed.
