Automatic Cat Faucet for Cats Who Love to Drink from the Tap

Do your cats hover in the tub or sink to drink from the faucet? The clever folks over at Sixerdoodle have developed a sensor-equipped Automatic Cat Faucet, similar to the faucets that automatically go on when you pass your hands under them.

Somehow our cats learned to drink from the faucet. We'd turn the water on for them, but they never turn it off when they were done! I'm sure there are other cat owners out there with a similar problem. So, I built the Cat Faucet so the cats could turn the water on and off for themselves. As a kit, I would rate this medium complexity. The electronics are simple and straight-forward but you also need to do some mechanical work and some plumbing to complete the project, which raises the complexity.
