This is an alarm system that is capable of
detecting
the presence of a pet cat in the over.
an rf beacon snaps onto the pet identification
collar.
This beacon is also part sensor capable of
reporting
temperature.
A heat tolerant rf sensor is placed inside the oven
and this connects via
radio to an internet
enabled
alarm radio.
If your cat enters the oven and remains for longer
than 60 seconds the alarm will sound.
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow
(user able to specify length of time)
If the cat remains in the oven longer than say 1/2
hour at a high temperature, say 350 degrees
the system can be pre-programmed to phone a
list of
friends over that
might be interested in a delicious cat dinner.

There will be a 'mute' option on the alarm,
won't there? |
|

Based on what I've heard (WWII PT boat stranded on an island report) cat is very gamy, and the "delicious cat dinner" part is an oxymoron. |
|
| |
And, as usual, if you can't get out of the "product:general" category, then you need to learn to play the game, or admit that you cannot. |

Is there really a market for this? My Dad owns two
veterinary practices, and while we see a fair number of
'fan belt cats', a few 'woodstove cats' every winter, and
even the occasional 'clothes dryer cat', I can't recall ever
hearing about an 'oven cat'. Who leaves the oven door open
long enough for a cat to climb in there? |
|

Frisco thinks this idea might be better equipped to
handle dogs. Big, slow, lumbering dogs, that are dull
and dumb enough, to crawl into an oven, just for a
place to rest. Cats, he tells me, are far too crafty and
quick to get stuck in the oven. Thought you might
appreciate the perspective of a REAL CAT. MEOW. |

[8th] Can we interest you in the phase cancelling
model? |

You said // a pet cat in the over//. That's all. |

Would have been really useful to me (well, to my wife)(and to Simba, RIP) about three weeks ago. Stupid (it fit better than his real name) managed to slip past on wifey's blind side, becoming a front-loaded washing-machine cat. While the cat's act was entirely in character (he employed us as his lifeguards about every 20 minutes for over 2 years), the wifey was extremely traumatized. |

I have a dog like that, only he's a pit bull, so his
invulnerability to harm sort of cancels out his unfailingly
consistent attempts to inflict it upon himself. |
|
| |
I'm sorry to hear about your cat. When it comes to our
pets, we love even the terminally stupid ones. |

I think that you should find someplace else to enforce
your dumb rules I for one don't want to hear it. |

There is a market for this, I was taking pans out of
the oven and my cat jumped up first sat on the dirty
oven door and then decided he would be more
comfortable completely inside the oven, had I not seen
him go in I could have closed him in there. That kind
of experience would have damaged my family. |
|
| |
Why not just have motion sensors in the oven? I've
seen children quite impressed with the interior. Ok,
a kid will be able to scream and kick but if you have
the music up and wanna preheat for a pizza without
taking a second glance and they are too panicked to
edge
themselves out properly while you are in the next
room, whamo. |

Does the alarm sound a bit like a collapsing wavefunction? |
|
| |
[TomP] that's pretty funny. "Alert! Alert! Your cat may or may not be dead!" |
|
| |
It should resonate just like a thereminophone. |
