Cats Can Connect

While many people would argue that cats don’t connect with humans, others would argue the opposite. As it turns out, according to a 2019 article published on Science Alert, cats actually “securely bond” with their humans. A study showed some interesting findings, including cats may often prefer human interaction over interacting with toys or other animals. As a result, it’s not surprising that many cat owners feel as connected, if not more so, than dog owners.

It’s not uncommon for parents to worry about their fur babies. Even when hiring a capable, loving, and compassionate caregiver, there can still be some concern. Because many people consider their pets an extension of their own family, they go to great lengths to ensure they’re getting the best. Therefore, a pet cam is worth considering, especially if you travel regularly and want to check in on things. Alternatively, there are some pros and cons to consider.

Pet Cam Pros

Some of the benefits include knowing that your pet is cared for when and how you want, especially when paying for a service. Not to mention the ease and convenience of checking in throughout the day while at work or out running errands. Next, Pet Cams offer peace of mind and security because the homeowner can get real-time updates and alerts when strange or undesirable things happen in the home. Furthermore, some pet cams have interactive features such as a treat dispenser, which means fur parents can rest assured knowing their babies will get the same kind of “royal treatment” whether they’re home or not.

Pet Cam Cons

On the other hand, like everything in life, there are bound to be at least one or two downsides to using a pet cam. Ironically, the biggest downside to using a pet cam is security. Pet cam owners are seemingly easy targets for their systems to be hacked. The damage can be as simple as feeling violated but can be as extreme as being locked out of accounts and other password-sensitive programs, as well as their location to be discovered.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that having a pet cam or any other type of recording security device must be disclosed to people coming into your home to perform a job or service. Otherwise, there is always a possibility of being sued. Pet cams or other recording security devices are mostly advantageous. However, knowing exactly which brand or model is best can be tricky especially because new options seem to come out annually. According to a recent New York Times article, the best pet cam isn’t actually a pet cam at all. A compact security camera will do the same job, just as well as a pet cam.

Be aware that sometimes cameras can glitch, or people may do strange things, unaware they’re being recorded. Therefore, seeing something less than desirable on a security or pet camera is always possible.
