This is a made-to-order automated feeding machine that Freminet helped construct, intended to deal with the ever-increasing number of small animals at home.

After a certain performance ended, Lynette discovered an abandoned box at the theater's back door.

As she opened it, a few kittens, barely a month old, raised their heads in alarm. Yet they had not the strength to flee, and thus could only stare into her eyes anxiously.

Lynette said nothing, nor did she reach out to further startle them. Instead, she simply looked back at them in silence.

Slowly they seemed to come to the understanding that she meant them no harm, and eventually dipped their straining necks.

Only then did Lynette pick the box of cats up, and they laid down in silence, allowing this young lady to take them back to their new "home."

There was some small debate amongst family members as to whether the animals should be taken in, but the usually reticent Lynette put her foot down, insisting that they stay.

The argument somehow managed to reach the ears of none other than "Father," and she had the final word — which was that her children should cease the silly squabbling.

"Those who wish to raise them, do so yourselves — but do it well. Don't make trouble for others."

After a short silence, she then added, "And if you have not taught them how to follow the rules by the end of winter, get rid of them yourselves."

That statement put paid to the rest of the argument. As for the task of teaching the cats, it fell to Lynette.

Considering that Lynette was usually averse to busywork, Freminet had the automated feeding machine custom made.

The machine came with an internal clock and a weighing machine that could allow it to feed the kittens various foods at precise times and in fixed amounts.

This machine, in turn, became one of the few machines to survive Lynette's tender mercies, never breaking down across many years of service. Indeed, its inner components have remained spanking new, with only the plate beneath the food outlet showing much sign of use.

And this... is because Lynette has never used it properly.

The sort of food to add into each box, how to input feeding times and amounts... Rather than memorize that, she found it more convenient to personally prepare the cat food in a plate.

Moreover, if she had to leave even feeding to a machine...

Lynette squatted next to the Non-Automated Feeding Machine, stroking the satisfied cats' fur in silent thought.

...How would she be able to teach these children?
