Petivity launched a smart feeder designed for cat owners.

What it means

Petivity, a Purina-owned brand, has launched a smart feeder specifically for cats. The device allows owners to schedule and remotely control feeding, and it tracks eating patterns to provide health insights, similar to how smart feeders for dogs have been marketed. The launch includes a promotional event in New York City where participants can feed real shelter cats.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is based on an Engadget article, a secondary source, but the search results confirm a press release from massmarketretailers.com and Petivity's own website, making the launch well-supported. The reporting sits close to the primary announcement, though no direct quote from Petivity's official release is cited in the highlight.
