Summary
- A Hackaday user created a fresh-water dispenser for their cat, Piki Piki, using a simple but well-constructed design.
- The cat-operated drinking fountain comprises a small basin with a tap, and a water reservoir valve operated by the cat’s paw on a lever.
- The device, which has worked reliably for three years, provides cats with a trickle of water on demand and is easy for the animal to use.
- The project is part of the Hackaday 2025 Pet Hacks contest, which encourages users to submit projects that improve cats’ lives.
- The drinking fountain was created to help address the issue of water dishes needing regular refilling, a problem that this dispenser solves.
