- zx8080 3y agoThat's a discrimination against cats!
- jjulius 3y agoThis just feels... excessive.
- jncfhnb 3y ago> The company says that its AI-powered detection system is accurate more than 90 percent of the time, which means your cat could still get a mouse inside. But hopefully that'll happen a lot less frequently. Could be 90% accurate and 0% precise if the cat doesn’t bring a lot of mice

- jjulius 3y agoThis is a lot more fascinating than the Flappie thing. I love this.
- TobyTheDog123 3y agoLet them give you their gifts! God, AI is ruining EVERYTHING.
- rtsil 3y agoWhat if the mice isn't dead but barely? More seriously, what happens if the company closes shop? Would the cat flap keep working? Will it keep detecting dead animals? What happens if the internet connection is down while I'm on a one-week vacation, will my cats still be able to enter the house or would they die of hunger outside? Because they won't eat the mice, they just hunt them for the fun of it, the little cruel beasts!
