'''Feeders (猫屋, "Cat House"/"Kitty House")''' are the units that the cats eat in. As of February 2024, over 21,000 feeders had been distributed in China. They are connected to the [[Hello Street Cat]] apps and people are able to pay to feed the cats [[kibble]] or [[freeze-dried chicken snacks]] which are conserved using [[The Yellow Packet|freshness packets]]. Each Feeder has at least one [[Caretaker]] who replenishes the food supply in the feeders, cleans the cat house floor, decorates it, etc. | '''Feeders (猫屋, "Cat House"/"Kitty House")''' are the units that the cats eat in.

A Feeder/Cat House is composed of four main parts: [[The Dispenser]] and food bowl, the food storage, the cameras, and the shell. There is also a gap next to the food bowl meant for the water dispenser, consisting of a plastic support and a plastic water bottle that may be added by the respective [[Caretaker]]. (Note: This only applies to the standard cat house model and may be different in other models) | A Feeder/Cat House is composed of four main parts: [[The Dispenser]] and food bowl, the food storage, the cameras, and the shell.

Each cat house has its own variety of cats - unless the feeder is near another feeder, such as the [[Happy Canteen]] and [[Auspicious Restaurant]] where they can sometimes have the same cats visiting. | Each cat house has its own variety of cats - unless the feeder is near another feeder, such as the [[Happy Canteen]] and [[Auspicious Restaurant]] where they can sometimes have the same cats visiting. | ||

"Beta Feeders" | "Beta Feeders" are believed to be a model previous to the current iteration, with their main characteristics being: the white outside and blue interior, no sign on the outside, and a unique [[The Dispenser|Dispenser]] shape. Despite having a gap to add water bottles, they usually have their own water dispensers. | ||
== Prototype Feeders == | There weren't many of these produced, hence the lack of documented feeders. One of the few documented feeders using this model is [[5A Scenic Cat Area]]. | ||

As of around July 17, 2024, a new feeder model is being tested for 3 months in [[Big Man's Cat Houses]]. The goal is to introduce the model into more cat shelters so that cats may have a better chance of being adopted. | As of around July 17, 2024, a new feeder model is being tested for 3 months in [[Big Man's Cat Houses]].
