  • 2025 Pet Hacks Challenge

This project was created on 05/16/2025 and last updated a month ago.

Description

During pandemics in 2020 I had lots of time to work on my "differently clever" projects, one of this aimed to stop my fluffy ginger cat Piki Piki licking the bidet tap when thirsty.
So I built a simple pedal linked to water pipe with flush toilet leverage, it was rough-and-ready
because I thought it would never worked more than a few weeks, stating my cats would use it...

now five years have passed,
pandemics have come to an end,
and Piki Piki is still using his drinkyPET as his two pet-brothers do!
