A new neon sign has been installed in the home of two cats, Noodle and Loaf, which activates whenever they use their litter box. This quirky addition, suggested by the author's partner, was intended as a humorous touch but has led to unexpected distractions.
The motion-activated sign, powered by a USB sensor, was added after the couple's water fountain also utilized a similar technology. While the fountain works well, the sign has created some challenges, including reflections on the TV and accidental triggers when the sensor is misaligned.
Despite the disruptions, Noodle and Loaf continue to use their litter box without issue. The author reflects on the oddity of having a neon sign illuminate during bathroom breaks, highlighting the humorous yet intrusive nature of this technological addition. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
