Every cat owner knows just how fickle and precocious felines can be. After all, there are huge, multimillion-member groups on social media dedicated to laughing at how difficult cats are. But it can be incredibly hard to know when your cat is suffering from a health problem because of this same behavior.
After I set up the hub, it instructed me to insert four C batteries into the underside of the water bowl. The use of batteries isn’t a big deal — it allows for more freedom in placing the water bowl without the need to plug it in, and we all know how much cats love cords — but the battery type is odd. C batteries aren’t common, nor are they easy to find.
For example, the Felaqua Connect tracks when my cat has a drink — but only because it reports that a certain amount of water was removed from the bowl. It doesn’t link the activity to her. It functions basically the same way in that I can see when she goes to her bowl, but it lacks the personalization.
In cat terms, those bubbles mean playtime. I have woken up to my cat attacking the reservoir to make it bubble and spilling water all over the kitchen floor.
