Designing a low-voltage Moisture Sensor Grid or Pad?

[Ken Moiarty]

[deleted] I assume that kittens do actually know when they are weeing?

Well, to be more precise, it's not *literally* a kitten that's doing the
urinating here, but rather two full grown cats. (The long story is...)

We may only be training it to avoid walking on paper towels/shiny metal
surfaces.

My intention is to modify (or replicate) the decor mats currently being used
to protect the carpet in our hallway, such as to _stealthily_ incorporate
the moisture-sensor mat. This will be not only for the learning needs of
the offending cats, but also to minimize the likelihood that a certain human
might otherwise object to the 'operation' without giving it time to reach
success. For as most do-it-yourself 'engineering' goes in my experience,
anticipate plenty of trial-and-error based refining and tweaking before it
performs "in the real world" for me as conceived.

Had you thought of buying or hiring the bell and pad system used for kids
that
wet their bed?

Yes. But I couldn't find any such products for kids that uses a pad which
covers any appreciably sized area. A google search listed product after
product in which the sensor "pad" is no more than a few square inches; just
enough to fit in the diaper. Of course, I didn't check out everyone of the
thousand or so Google search results so... If you know of such a product
which employs a sensor pad that actually employs some spread-out like
surface area, I would be eager to know the name of it.

TIA,
Ken

So, finally, it comes to light that this is some babe, and she insists
on bringing "her" cat into your house if you want to get laid?

It ain't worth it. She's addicted to cat, and can never love a man. Lose
the bitch.

Thank you for this earnest piece of advice.
