Pet Piano smart feeder dispenses treats when cats press keys
↗
A cat feeder called the Pet Piano dispenses food when a cat presses its piano keys, with an app-controlled training mode that progressively increases the number of key presses required.
Smart pet feeders are moving beyond scheduled dispensing toward interactive, behavior-shaping devices that use software progression systems to drive physical interaction. The Pet Piano's app-based training mode demonstrates how consumer IoT products can apply game-like difficulty curves to animal enrichment.

The Pet Piano includes an app with a training mode that requires an increasing number of key presses before dispensing treats.
The device features a cat-sized keyboard spanning slightly more than an octave and a food storage basin designed to resist break-in attempts.
The author's cat learned to play eight-note melodies after initial training where a treat was placed directly on a key to create the press-dispense association.
