Absolutely. There are a lot of great things to automate the tedious. Instead of worrying about "am I neglecting my pets?", you can enjoy the happy and healing stuff, like petting, cuddling, and playing with them. They will light up when they see you.
Pets have a pretty good way of getting what they need anyways. Hungry because you forgot to feed them for a while? They will let you know. They help out :)
yeah my cat is pretty great at reminding me to do things. i currently don't have automatic things because they're loud, but i take my estrogen at the same times i feed my cat, so mittens reminds me to take it and feed her at the same time
Probably a lot more reliable than electronic reminders too. It is super easy to acidentally turn off the alarm you set on your phone / watch / whatever and then immediatly forget why the alarm was set in the first place. But a hangry cat has no snooze button, so that won't be an issue. ;)
