I use my cameras to check in on my cat when I am out of town. Typically a friend only visits briefly once a day and I get peace of mind out of knowing that the cat is eating. If the cat was not eating, I'd ask a friend to take it to the vet or to sit with a while to make sure it eats.

Can't you just ask your friend to note if your cat ate during the day? I mean, they're probably refilling the bowls anyway, so they will notice if they're full Also the whole notion of an imminent danger for a semi-wild animal in a big house with daily renewed water and food is a bit weird to me. It seems like Amazon&co just amplify the existing irrational fears, don't you think so?

Ditto. I have 4 wyzecams I setup around the house when we go on vacation. Then I unplug them and put them in a box as soon as I return. And for Mr "Irrational fears", no, I do it for entertainment, not because BigEvilCorp taught me to be afraid.
