Fat Cat Alarm
Prevent Opal, the fat cat, from stealing the other cats' food
Made by kaylageer
Context: A counter mat with embedded weight sensors would be programmed to trigger a blinking red light and a noise maker (daddy suggested that it be able to shock the cat too…). If Opal, who weighs twice as much as Marble or Gravel, is on the pad and is blocking the light from a photoresistor embedded in Marble's food bowl. If one of the lighter cats is on the pad and is blocking the light, or if Opal is sitting on the pad and not eating, a green indicator light will be on.
