User Background
Mr. Pierre lives in Aix-en-Provence, France, and manages a wine estate. Due to frequent business trips, he often has to leave his beloved cat, Manon, home alone. Traditional feeders couldn’t adjust feeding schedules flexibly, and improper food storage caused Manon to suffer from diarrhea multiple times. Pierre longed for a smart device that could manage feeding remotely while also allowing interaction with his cat.
Pain Point #1: Frequent Travel, Inconsistent Feeding
Problem Description
Pierre travels regularly between Bordeaux and Paris. Traditional feeders required manual refilling, and if his schedule was delayed, Manon would go hungry. He once tried a timer-based feeder, but its complex settings often led to errors—once even skipping an entire day’s meals.
Solution
Mobile App Remote Control & One-Touch Scheduling:
- Real-time remote adjustments: Check feeding logs via the app and add extra meals for Manon while traveling.
- Personalized feeding plan: Set a "small, frequent meals" mode (4 times a day, precise to the gram) with one tap.
Results
"During a meeting in Bordeaux last week, I noticed through the app that Manon hadn’t finished her lunch on time, so I remotely paused the feeding to avoid spoiled food piling up,"* Pierre shared. *"Now I never have to worry about her going hungry."
Pain Point #2: Food Spoilage & Health Risks
Problem Description
Provence’s humid summers caused cat food to clump and spoil in traditional feeders with poor sealing. Manon once developed gastroenteritis from eating spoiled food, resulting in a €300 vet bill.
Solution
6L Large-Capacity, Moisture-Proof Design:
- Dual freshness system: Silica gel desiccant + sealed compartment keeps humidity below 15%.
- Transparent food window: The app syncs with remaining food levels and sends refill reminders.
Results
"Now, even after a week-long trip, the kibble stays crisp. Manon’s digestion has improved so much that even the vet praised my feeding routine!"
Pain Point #3: Lack of Interaction, Cat Anxiety
Problem Description
Manon is a sensitive cat who would hide under the bed and refuse to eat when Pierre was away. The mechanical noise of traditional feeders only made her more anxious.
Solution
Live Video & Voice Call Feature:
- HD camera monitoring: Pierre checks on Manon anytime via the app, even capturing her lazy sunbathing moments to share with family.
- 10-second voice call: Pre-recorded messages like *"Manon, dinner time!"* play before meals, encouraging her to eat.
Results
"The first time I used the voice feature, Manon ran to the feeder as soon as she heard me! Now she even meows at the camera, as if she knows I’m watching."
Bonus Feature: Power Outage Protection
Provence occasionally faces storm-related blackouts, but the feeder’s dual-power system (adapter + backup battery) ensures uninterrupted operation. Pierre joked, *"During a 12-hour outage, Manon’s dinner arrived right on time—she didn’t even notice!"
User Review
"This feeder isn’t just a tool—it’s an emotional bond between Manon and me. It solved every problem I thought was unsolvable: health, reliability, even loneliness. Now, even when I’m wine-tasting in Paris, I can feel the warmth of home in Provence."
