This was a clever idea, especially disabling the touchscreen to make it cat-friendly. Your furry family members are really cute, too!

My dog Morgan would watch TV if there were animals so we rented Babe for him. He even went to his toy box to get his lamb when Babe was herding the lambs.

nice, i think i have a similar screen. i wanted to make a BMO game console (from adventure time) with it and even customised the operating system and it works but i never got around to finish 3d modeling the case..

You should check out Allie's videos about building an rpi BMO! Maybe you can adapt their files: kzitem.info/news/bejne/l3eqp5x6hqKHp6Q github.com/katzcreates/BMOctoprint

I got a 10 year old iPad Mini 2, setup KZitem videos on loop or playlist and used Guided Access to disable the touchscreen, now it’s a fish tank, a garden with birds, a red dot, a lava lamp, fireflies and more. She loves it, I mounted it at cat level with 3D printed end caps and some strong Velcro. Total cost £50 max ($63)

Add in a switch to disable the touchscreen so you can enable it if you need it.

I recently noticed how my cat Charlie (who is orange as well 😀) watches KZitem videos along with me. I did try bird videos on the big screen as well, but that invoked hunter mode 😂. Very nice project, thanks for sharing, Becky!

I don't know about making this project but I really liked the design of the case. With a little modification to the front it should make a nice retro cabinet for a radio project I'm working on so I copied it in Tinkercad. Might even use it as is for an Internet radio project I've been toying around with.

Instead of disabling the touchscreen, you could have just added a "paws-word" to get in! Hey oh! I like that the display you're using includes a mounting system. So many of these embedded mcu/display options just have no good way to mount them.

I'd love to see a remote control with a few buttons that would change the channel to one of the cat's choosing! Then you'd really know which channel the cat prefers.

I wish my cats would watch TV. It would be easier to distract them. I'm convinced mine can't actually see the screen for some reason. If I play videos of other cats meowing, they don't even look at the screen, they just sniff confusedly at the speaker. Same deal with birds or anything else. Tried one of those tablet apps that makes bugs run around the screen. They just have zero interest in screens.

no information on configuration, OS, WIFI protocols, etc. this is an etsy video for people who like cats. not a helpful technical build. also, links to sold out products. here's a tip, delete the reference tags and buy clean from another supplier.

This is a super easy project, there is no configuration beyond what I showed to double check the USB speaker works. It's just the Pi out of the box and joined onto my home wifi, playing a KZitem playlist in the default browser. And I'm not sure which product links you are referring to but I try to keep them up to date even though RPis tend to go out of stock regularly, this videos' product links seem all in-stock right now.

A project I could easily manage but..its a tv for a cat...so No! Let the cat out of the house to hunt and explore. You should rename the video so it reads "Turn your cat into a fat couch potato". 😅

I love what you've done for Bletchley, Becky, but I've got to tell you that I've reported you to The Humane Society of the United States for animal cruelty. Poor Bletchley now thinks s/he can find birds and squirrels behind his/her television and I think you've done that purposely, just to be spiteful to your beautiful cat. 😉 ♥
