I really like that this weighs the cat; having regular, non-intrusive cat health metrics is particularly useful. Weight change can be a sign of a variety of other issues, but also probably a bunch of non-issues, so _only_ weighing a cat on an annual visit to the vet is less useful but it's quite a pain to manually weigh the cat each day to see trends. Even if only to calibrate the amount of food to dose over time, it's a useful feature.

Nice project!

I own a Wyze scale and I noticed my cat standing on it. So, I created an account for her. She steps on it often enough that the wyze app gives me weight charts for her. I bet it would give me readings multiple times a day if I just set it in front of her food dish.

I just have a baby scale I plop my guys on occasionally. And then I record their weight in an iOS note.

Weighing your cat and paying attention to their digestion (recording vomiting frequency, inspecting stools) really goes a long way towards keeping a cat healthy.
