This is a video documenting Youtuber The Lab-X’s quest to build an AI-powered water turret to keep his cat Cookie off the kitchen counter. The 3D printed bot, named Puffy, uses computer-vision to track the cat’s movement and spray him when he’s detected on the counter. Lab-X plans to sell build-it-yourself kits and assembled units in the future if you’re interested. Over the course of six weeks, Cookie, who is far more calm than my cats (but equally stubborn) took fewer and fewer sprays to get down. Eventually, just the sound of Puffy opening was enough to deter him. How about that! Alternatively, keep your cats off the kitchen counters the same way I do: not having counters. Plus I don’t have to open drawers, I can just reach right in there for a spoon. “Do you rent or own?” Right now I’m squatting.
