Thanks. Very interesting feedback, that's something I didn't think of. You know, a cat's body temperature runs a couple of degrees hotter than humans. I don't think our sensor is quite that narrow in its tuning range to discriminate between humans and pets, but maybe we could do that on a future version or slightly more advanced technology. Just a thought, I'm not guaranteeing that we will do it, or that it's even possible without extremely expensive thermal sensors. Hopefully, the issue you described is not common enough to be a problem for most people.
