Electric Cat Feeder Litterbox.js Scoop Petify

As the Head Cat Dad at Mes Petits Chats Inc., I empower my feline companions, Fanny, Alice, and our newest recruit, Ash, to reign supreme over the kingdom of cuteness. Fluent in the mysterious language of Litter.js, I decode their litter box desires with unmatched precision. My expertise in scoop management systems ensures their royal chambers remain spotless and fit for royalty. Through the magic of automation, I programmed their feeder to dispense three daily meals, successfully thwarting their devious plot to wake me at 4 AM. With Ash’s playful energy now joining the boardroom of fluff, the empire continues to thrive in delightful chaos. 🐾 In loving memory of Tibrin, the original CEO of Mes Petits Chats Inc., whose leadership, charm, and purr-sonality will forever inspire the company’s mission of feline excellence (Pictured on the left).
