Sorry to be boring but a simple timer seems more sensible. Dispense the preset amount everyday at the same time. And kitty needs water.

Water and food have different needs; an automatic water fountain like http://www.amazon.com/Drinkwell-Platinum-Pet-Fountain-168oz/dp/B000L3XYZ4 http://www.amazon.com/Drinkwell-Platinum-Pet-Fountain-168oz/... keeps a pool of water fresh at all times, without needing to dispense a particular measure of it.

    > Not all projects are about being sensible. This is "hacker" News after all. Problem is: people in the node.js community have a pattern of going from the "weekend hack" to the "production" stage in weeks. Code maturity has no meaning to some.

      If were being honest with ourselves, are we really concerned about the code maturity of a simple server feeding a cat? This isn't rocket science. Its a silly/fun project.
