Drinking fountain
Cats prefer to drink running water. In nature, water in a stream or river is cleaner than in a puddle. Therefore, many furry favorites like to drink water from the tap, and the bowl stands untouched.
Especially for such fastidious invented drinking fountain. Pour clean water into the tank and turn on the device. Under the action of the pump a small fountain is formed, from which cats drink with pleasure. The animals get enough water, which is important for their health
Automatic feeder
An automatic feeder is a real rescue for owners who are away from home for long periods of time. It will feed the cat at a predetermined time with a strictly measured portion of food. In this case, the food will not be weathered and will not lose its appetizing odor. And the soulless device will not give out more food than it is necessary for a suffering, thinning cat.
Autofeeder is also indispensable for diabetic cats, which need to be fed by the hour, and you are at work.
Autofeeders are segmented - with several compartments. They are suitable for both wet and dry food. Models with a large container and a dispenser can only be filled with dry food, but they are refilled less frequently, once every few days.
What if you have several pets? Then you can install a feeder that recognizes the cats and gives each one a certain amount of food. The devices are oriented to a chip or a camera, thanks to face recognition software.
Some smart feeders are controlled by smartphones and can send the owner a feeding report and even a video. They also keep statistics: how much and when the cat ate.
Self-cleaning litter tray
Automatically separates used litter from clean litter. The litter tray will wait 5 to 15 minutes after use to avoid frightening the cat.
Video Nanny
Worried about your sick or pregnant cat when you're not home? Or just wondering what your pet does when left unattended? Try a video nanny! You can watch your cat "live" from anywhere you have internet access, or re-watch the recording. You can also talk to your pet if they get bored or go where they don't belong. Cats are surprised at first when they hear but don't see their owners. But then they get used to it and can even communicate with it.
Tracker collar
Whether to let animals go on a free walk - an ambiguous question. But if your cat walks on its own and you'd like to track its movements, consider a collar with a GPS tracker.
You will be able to see where your cat is now and what places he likes to visit. And if your favorite cat is lost, the tracker will make it easier to find him.
On some models, you can set a certain radius. If the cat goes farther away, the gadget will alert you.
Video camera
In addition to the tracker, you can attach a miniature video camera to the collar. This way you can see the world through your pet's eyes.
Choose a camera with a sturdy mount, in a case that protects against shocks and splashes. Of course, it's rare for a cat to go swimming voluntarily, but they may get caught in the rain or walk through wet grass.
Smart door
Another device for independent strollers is a cat door with an electronic lock. You will no longer have to constantly open and close the door, and your cat will no longer have to wait or squawk patiently. The gadget will only let in your pets, tuning in to them by chip. So your neighbor's cat won't drop by to check on the food bowls!
If you don't mind your cat going out during the day but don't want to let it out at night, just set the time when the door is open. Over time, the cat will get used to it and won't ask to go outside when it's bedtime.
Interactive toys
Cats are much more interested in moving prey. If no one pulls a string or throws a mouse, such toys quickly become boring. But, fortunately, the industry of pet products offers us a lot of automatic. Such toys move and occupy animals for a long time.
One of the popular gadgets is an electronic fish. It does not need to be fed or cared for in the aquarium. But thanks to its naturalistic movements, it is as interesting to watch it as a real one.
Active cats are more likely to like interactive toys. For example, a dancing fish. It is soft and the electronic parts are safely hidden, so the fish can be bitten.
Many cats like an electronic teaser or a fishing rod with a feather attachment. It is activated when approaching, and if you catch the "bird" - chirping sounds.
And the toy mouse can run away from the cat! Such a toy is battery-powered and is activated by pressing.
The ball also has a smart analog - roboshar. He moves if you move his paw, and can glow. In a special compartment you can put something that smells good, for example, catnip.
You can hang an interactive lanyard on the doorknob. It curls up and down, encouraging your pet to catch it. There are also automatic laser pointers. They are programmed for chaotic movements, so the cat will be interested in catching a fleeing point.
By the way, there are laser pointers combined with a video nanny. With them, the owner from afar can not only watch the pet and talk to him, but also play. The pointer can be controlled remotely.
Tablet
An ordinary electronic tablet can also be a cat gadget. Now there are a lot of games created especially for our favorites. Cats quickly learn to handle gadgets and catch fish or mice with enthusiasm.
Some apps record paw touches by painting them in different colors. This can be a kind of artwork from our pets.
