Petcube Bites 2 Pet Camera with Treat Dispenser

Dad

I saw this one online. Thought it looked good. Your first reaction?

Boldo

It's a camera pointed at me. Which means you're going to watch me when you're not here. I don't love that. But yes, I noticed the treat dispenser immediately. That part is genius, actually, if you actually use it.

Dad

Okay, you've been staring at it for ten minutes. What's the verdict on smell?

Boldo

Plastic. Factory plastic. New electronics smell. No dog smells on it at all, which is disappointing. There's a faint food smell from the treat compartment, though. That's the only interesting part. Wait—is that chicken in the kitchen?

Dad

Now that you've actually used it — what do you think?

Boldo

The treats come out fast. Sometimes too fast. But here's the thing—you actually use it. You're not just spying on me, you're actually dispensing treats when I look at it, which is somehow less annoying than I expected. The speaker is loud. I don't need to hear your voice that crisp. And it's sturdy. I stepped on it twice.

Dad

The cat hasn't touched it. Does that mean something?

Boldo

The cat doesn't care about cameras or treats dispensed on a schedule. The cat gets treats whenever he wants because he's insufferable and you spoil him. So no, the cat's indifference doesn't mean anything except that he's a cat and this is a dog product. He probably knocked it over anyway.

Dad

Rate it. One to five. You know what the ones are.

Boldo

Four. It does what it promises. The treats actually work. I can see you when you're gone, which is weird but fine. It's not going to fall apart. Not a five because the plastic smell took three days to go away and the app notifications annoyed you more than me. But yeah. It works.
