After a year and a half of no sleep, it finally occurred to me...try an automated cat feeder...the search began for one that would dispense an eighth of a cup of food every fours hours...because that's how often kitty cries ferociously until someone feeds her...who knew that would cost $499 and would be out of production...so we settled on one that dispenses a quarter of a cup of food three times a day...
We dearly wanted a unit that would be stainless steel...not for its appearance...for its health benefits...no BHA...who knew that would cost $499 and would be out of production...so we settled on one that is made of plastic...BHA and all...I cringe whenever I think about it...until I remember I haven't slept in a year and half...and somehow those concerns just fall away...
We also wanted a quiet unit...no bells...no alarms...no grinding sounds...who knew that would cost $499 and would be out of production...so we settled on one that makes a whirring sound as it dispenses the food...hopefully, this will get all of the cat's attention and none of ours...
The unit is set up, tested and ready to go on its maiden voyage tonight...if you're awake, please think of me at midnight...pray that I am deeply and peacefully in REM sleep...blissfully unaware that my cherished pet is being fed by the robotic version of me that has now taken up residence in my kitchen...
