Scanning for cat-orexia.
Is your cat becoming a fat embarrassment because you aren't there to passive-aggressively judge his eating habits? Time to pass your food issues on to your pets!
A San Mateo, California start-up has the answer to your mortifi-cat-ion with Bistro, a feeding system that allows you to monitor your cat's weight and food intake while you are out making the most of your fading youth. You won't even have to look Fidel Catstro in the eyes while you sanction his meals.
"But Feline Dion claims another cat has been eating her food," you say? Well, Bistro has that covered like your cat is covered in unwanted layers of adipose tissue. Bistro comes equipped with cat facial recognition so you can hold your critter accountable. Let me repeat that, just in case it went by too quickly: cat facial recognition.
Yeah, you know, one of the more subtle technologies only recently introduced for human use is now being offered to bust your beast when he goes for seconds. Of course, Bistro also weighs and measures the food, so the days of Meow Zaedong overeating are over. There's even a scale right in front of the food bowl, just like your parents wish they could have done to you during your "awkward phase."
Of course, this product is marketed so you can notice any weirdness in your cat's habits and get early warning signs of failing health, but you can also use it to body shame Hisstina Aguilera!
