Birds are classy. They deserve to be treated like royalty as they run a muck in our neighborhoods, waking us up with annoying chirps and shitting all over our cars immediately after they’ve been washed.

Etsy seller Ohthepollybilities makes these quaint teacup bird-feeders with an ordinary China teacup and some well-placed chain links. The seller describes its possibilities as “endless” but I see little productivity in this teacup for anything other than a bird feeder. It could be hung by a sink to hold sponges, or hung in your bathroom to hold your assortment of toiletry, but who the fuck are you, Martha Stewart? They’re are available for $20, a small price to pay for birds in your yard, chirping your name in the morning.

If you happened to be away for the whole day, leaving your cat at home alone, whether you leave a full dish of food or just a few pieces of snack, chances are by the time you come back they’ll all be gone, and the cat will be hungry again. So there’s always a danger of either starving or overfeeding your pet if you work long hours. Japanese petshots have started selling various different kinds of automatic feed dispensers, the Mr Rice automatic feeder (Gohankun) is one of the examples with a pretty standard design, just a salad-plate-esque dish with cover, so only part of the divided dish will show up at each time, you can set the timer for it to turn every 6/12/24 hours, so having 6 division will mean that you can leave your pet alone for 6 days max. The Mr rice automatic feed dispenser is priced at 68USD. You can have a better look at the dish division after the jump.
