Food and water are always available in this house so that any cat from the surrounding area can come and eat. An artificial intelligence-based system that recognizes 174 types of cats by their faces is responsible for entering such an impromptu shelter. Unauthorized animals are not allowed.

Inside the shelter, there are cameras and sensors that allow you to determine if a cat who has come to visit is sick with something. If the system doubts that the animal is healthy, a special alert will be sent to volunteers looking after the shelter.

While such a house is located in the courtyard of its inventor. The engineer hopes that other people who are ready to help will be interested in the idea. After all, the problem with stray cats in China is quite urgent - there are tens of thousands of them throughout the country. Many of them live no more than two years, and only four out of ten manage to survive the winter. Such houses could well improve this sad statistic.
