  • This is an interesting looking cat: https://meow.camera/#7374059059738047159
    • For people reading that later: a dog (pug) was feeding right now
  • man, this cat is ranking pretty high on the feline grimace scale :( https://meow.camera/#4258783365322591678 wondering how I would contact the hosts
  • If there was a button to feed them for a small donation id be broke.
    • There's a black kitten staring into an empty feeder and I'm restraining myself from calling 911, the SPCA and Team America: World Police.
    • There is in the Purrr app if you install and open that.
  • Almost as good as the cat aquarium!

    • I am tempted to get a cat as an accessory for a cat aquarium
    • There is yet still hope for the internet after all!
  • Funny that The Feline Relaxing Place is currently the least "relaxed" place.
  • Ahhh my browser back button
  • I was reading that this is actually for neutering cats and that there is some deep dark secret behind these, might be something else tho.
  • Several asleep in their bowls lol. Can relate.
  • Some previous discussion from 5 months ago:

  • Now we just need a cat presence detector!
    • Isn't that what the "Feeders with hungry cats" category is? That's what I thought when I clicked around, at least.
  • Every time this is posted I wonder if one could improve the backend so it doesn't take 5-10 seconds for a video stream to connect.

    Right now it's quite populated, but if I ever check it otherwise it's like this: wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 10 seconds, no cat, wait 7 seconds, leave.

    • The "Feeders with Hungry Cats" dropdown filters to the active cameras.
      • 60% of the time it works every time. Sometimes those are all empty as well, or maybe there's a racoon instead :)
