About

Paws Forward Inc. operates as BistroCat, an Austin, Texas pet technology company founded in 2022. It sells a patented, fully automated wet cat food feeder that opens, serves, and self-cleans single-serve food pods without ice packs or refrigeration. Alongside the hardware it runs a recurring food subscription that adapts deliveries to a cat's flavor preferences and actual consumption. The feeder also tracks eating behavior and alerts owners to changes that may signal a health issue.

Automating wet food specifically - the feeder handles sealed single-serve pods and self-cleans, so owners get refrigeration-free fresh wet feeding plus eating-behavior health monitoring, rather than the dry-kibble dispensing most automatic feeders offer.
