[TriLUG] How to use Linux to feed your cat

[Joel Ebel]

Automatically feeding your cat seems like a really bad idea.  Cats are 
very independent creatures, and for the most part have no need for their 
owners to exist save one thing... Feeding time.  If this moment becomes 
automated, your cat loses all reason for endearment to its owner.  I 
think you'd notice a drastic change in affection from your cat when they 
realize you have been replaced with a much more reliable computer.
