yeah my cat is pretty great at reminding me to do things. i currently don't have automatic things because they're loud, but i take my estrogen at the same times i feed my cat, so mittens reminds me to take it and feed her at the same time

Probably a lot more reliable than electronic reminders too. It is super easy to acidentally turn off the alarm you set on your phone / watch / whatever and then immediatly forget why the alarm was set in the first place. But a hangry cat has no snooze button, so that won't be an issue. ;)
