News:
Last week, a video went viral in New York: Whiskers, a Siamese cat, survived a fall from the 10th floor after his airbag collar inflated automatically. The device, called “CatGuard Pro”, uses motion sensors and AI to detect free falls in 0.3 seconds — and has already saved 127 cats in 2024, according to data from PetSafe Technologies.
*In this exclusive article, we reveal:
–How CatGuard Pro works: AI + impact sensors .
-3 real-life cases where technology prevented tragedies .
-Cost-Benefit: US$120 vs. US$3,000+ in post-fall surgeries.
– Important alert: 5% false positives (airbag inflates without falling).
*1. The Miracle of CatGuard Pro: Technology that Went Viral
*Science Behind the Device
*Free Fall Sensor:
-Detects acceleration of 9.8 m/s² (same as gravity).
