You can't take your cat to work
Cats look like they sleep all day, but research shows indoor cats are surprisingly active and stressed when alone. Most owners never see what really happens.
Hardware pet cams are expensive and store your video
Furbo, Petcube and similar units cost $100–$300 plus monthly fees, and your cat's footage lives on someone else's server.
Most pet cam apps are ad-laden and require accounts
Free apps like Alfred show ads in the middle of watching your cat. Almost all of them require Google/Apple sign-in.
