As soon as this Loss of Pulse feature is available on the Pixel Watch 3 I'll be buying one. It's a safety feature for my cat.
Because I live alone, have no family whatsoever, and few friends none of whom regularly check to see if I'm still breathing. If I die in my sleep or at home my cat stands a good chance of dying of starvation before anyone wonders about me. There is no service here that checks on you daily like there is in the US (https://www.snugsafe.com/)

@QueenOfEverything @NorthernInvader
I send a short text every morning to my son, at his request. And @NorthernInvader I bet there's a local agency for the aging that might have some kind of service. We don't want your cat starving to death!
@ShaneArtBooks I've checked - there isn't, not even provincially or nationally. I asked snugsafe to come to Canada but it's not on their radar for now.
@NorthernInvader Sorry to learn this. I hope this changes soon.
@ShaneArtBooks me too but for me once Google allows the loss of Pulse function in Canada I'll have a solution for me.
@QueenOfEverything sadly they only serve the US
happily, i live in the US, and thanks to you- i just signed up for Snugsafe. my daughters are thrilled, which is fine, but it's my CATS i care about! so this will protect them all! 🐈 💙 🐈 🐈
hey, one good turn deserves another... until your Loss of Pulse Pixel Watch comes out... do you want a back up? you can send me a text or pix of your cat each day. do you have an emergency # like a neighbor that could be contacted if you don't send a pix?
i love living alone... but i don't want my cats (sigh- okay, and my daughters) to be at risk because of my solitude. now i have Snugsafe. you can have QOE cat lady safety patrol.
@QueenOfEverything thanks but my plan does not allow free texting outside of Canada.
@NorthernInvader @QueenOfEverything maybe posting something here ? If you don’t post anything or something like that would work ?
@Jorro I post here multiple times a day :) If you stop seeing posts from me for a few days contact the Trail, BC RCMP to do a welfare check 🤣
I've been on here for ~1300 days and I've posted ~12,400 times, so roughly 9 times a day 😀
@NorthernInvader @QueenOfEverything how about a DM to someone you trust , the same idea as the @QueenOfEverything but just bin a DM?
I may set something up with the executors of my estate - they are old friends, live 10Km away and will be able to check.
@QueenOfEverything
For you CAT’S sake- you’re okay and entertaining, but I really care about your CAT!
xo crazy cat lady here
@QueenOfEverything
I'll have teach her how to text :)
@NorthernInvader @Jorro hey with that fancy watch you’re waiting for,,, splurge for a meow-activated device that your cat can contact my cats or your designated “emergency cat” so she doesn’t have to deal with strange humans.
I’m flexible… the catch 22 is that the backup to not checking in requires a call or text to an emergency contact that can actually check on the person.
Snugsafe is great. - the free version has my daughters in Seattle and one neighbor listed as my “emergecy contacts” who are notified if I miss chek-in. The paid ver is $10 per month and gives access to contact help to check house. or to send someone to your last address (they track).
@QueenOfEverything @NorthernInvader I didn’t know that existed, I don’t need it now but you never know!!
no worries… i’m really grateful for you connecting me with Snugsafe. So if you or your cat ever need a Crazy Cat Lady back-up… we’ll be here.
@NorthernInvader
hmmmmm… was just tackling that very problem yesterday. I’ve got 2 wonderful daughters that live an hour away but we don’t talk every day. I’ve got 3 cats. So I’ve told the daughters that I will send a photo every day around noon. If they don’t get a photo they should call/text me. I’m not familiar with Snugsafe.com will check it out.
