[Explanation] Automatic feeding at 12 o'clock, automatic cleaning of feces at 13 o'clock... After going to work in the morning, Ms. Liang entrusted the task of taking care of pet cats to the smart device at home.

　　[Explanation] Recently, at Ms. Liang's home in Chongqing, she showed reporters the automatic water dispenser she just bought for her pet cat.

Ms. Liang has 3 pet cats. She said that she likes to keep pets since she was a child, especially cats.

The work of leaving early and returning late makes her most worry about the pet cat at home.

After a friend's introduction, she began to try to use pet smart devices to assist in raising cats.

　　Since I found some very good smart products on that e-commerce platform.

I feel like I've been liberated, and I have more time to play with my cat.

　　[Explanation] Mr. Huang, a "post-95" who works in Chongqing, is also a pet cat lover. He has no time to take care of pets, so he is reluctant to take the step of raising them.

The emergence of pet smart devices relieved his worries.

Now that there are smart feeders and smart cat litter boxes at home, he entrusts the care of pets to the machine.

Mr. Huang said that although these smart products cannot meet all the needs of pets, at least there is no need to worry about whether the cats at home can eat on time while working overtime.

　　[Explanation] Compared with the previous generation, young people have higher pet care needs, and are more willing to try endless pet supplies.

According to the "2021 White Paper on China's Pet Industry", in 2021, the number of cats and dogs in urban China will exceed 110 million, and the number of pet owners will reach 68.44 million, of which 52.9% of pet owners have purchased pet smart products.

Chen Chen, a researcher at Pinduoduo New Consumer Research Institute, said that pet smart products represented by automatic feeders and automatic water dispensers have become one of the hot-selling categories on e-commerce platforms in the past two years, especially among young consumers.

　　[Explanation] Driven by new pet raising concepts such as healthy pet raising, exquisite pet raising, anthropomorphic pet raising, and scientific pet raising, some smart products are gradually being accepted and recognized by "Generation Z" pet owners.
