I have a cat. I know how it works. Part of having a pet is dealing with the fact that you have to take care of it. Many people have pets and go on vacations. >even if the final result is 'over' engineered. This is a major issue though. It's why a lot of engineers can't translate ideas and solutions into elegant businesses... Of course there is nothing wrong with this project, so long as you understand it completely misses solving the actual problem at hand.

"Can't" create an elegant business, or "don't care to"? Different people are motivated by different things. Seems to me the person undertaking this cat-feeder project is the one who gets to decide whether or not they have solved the "actual problem at hand", since they are the one who decided what the problem was in the first place.
