Former QA engineer and urban cat owner. I test smart feeders for offline behavior, data practices, and real-world reliability in small apartments.

Smart feeding should fail safely and respect your data.

A routine firmware update silently reset schedules. At 3 a.m., a hungry cat woke the whole building. Since then, I’ve staged power cuts, throttled Wi-Fi, and read permissions line by line. A device that fails quietly can be the loudest thing in your home.

I favor local schedules, minimal permissions, and transparent privacy policies over cloud dependence.
