Headline check
One of the two things this headline claims is not in the report.
The headline puts “what if Flock, but for cats?” in quotation marks. Nobody says those words anywhere in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked
The article, shortened and in plain language
In all seriousness, this could be handy for multi-cat households.
Petivity just introduced a new smart pet feeder designed exclusively for cats. The main hook here is that it has cameras and uses AI-enabled facial recognition algorithms to track when and how much a particular feline is eating. That's right: the flockification of pet feeders has begun.
The gadget tracks portion sizes, eating frequency and feeding patterns. The company says it can detect subtle shifts in behavior that should be useful during a visit to the vet. All of this information is accessible via an affiliated app.
Many of the components are dishwasher-safe, which is not always the case with fancy-pants pet feeders.
The AI tools were trained on 21,000 real-world feeding sessions, 1,400 hours of video and more than 15,000 pictures of cats.
The Petivity Smart Feeder for Cats is available for purchase right now and costs $150.
