Sooo I really expected this to have a way to donate money to specific cats. If you added this feature I honestly think it'd be a viral idea.

#12Love this! Relatedly, does anyone have a suggestion for an outdoor solar-powered web camera that I could point at the critters in my garden? I'd love to stream a MonarchCam or MantisCam some day.

#13There's some good explanation of what this is all about here: https://streetcat.wiki/ Specially, details of the actual feeders: https://streetcat.wiki/index.php/Stray_Cat_Feeders
Thank you; I tried to find an “about” link but couldn’t.
There's one in the bottom left, but there's not much detail so I did some googling

Unfortunately the Internet has taught me to immediately speculate on how this could be used to monetize animal abuse.
I like the one cat rescue out of ohio that streams their cat area inside 24/7.
They get a ton of donations of food and toys so it seems to work out well.

#15I don’t know why I expected anything else with that url.

#17These feeders are part of a stray cat control program in China, aiming to both feed & neuter stray cat populations there.
There have been some distasteful incidents of online groups organizing to try and harm/kill specific cats famous through this feeder program. China lacks animal welfare laws to protect these cats, it's not a crime. So people have taken to identifying these abusers and reporting them to their employer, university etc. Abusers have been fired and expelled over such cases. Governments overseas whose citizens participate in such online abuse groups need to be doing more. Membership in online animal abuse groups needs to be criminalized.
