Help me design a gadget to tell if the pets have been fed?

I want to design a gadget that hangs on the wall or something, and signifies if the household pets have been fed or not, for other family members who may wake up at different times. The only trick is...it would have to reset about every 6 hours, otherwise it would still say "fed" when they have to have their evening meal...any ideas?

Chalk board with date and time of last feeding.
A magnetic whiteboard sectioned into days with mornings and evenings and sections for different pets names... no mess and no dry markers or dusty chalk...
you know how they have thoes signs in windows that they can flip that say "open" on one side, and "closed" on the other? mabye you could make something like that! or mabye, you could set an alarm clock. with my cats, they get fed at the same time every day, and they started coming to me when it was time to be fed. i think a cats internal clock is better than ours!
Well, what I have done is put a sheet on the wall for the days of the week and you put a check mark once the animal is fed.



Simple and isnt a gadget so It wont break
You can do it either mechanically, such as a card that you can flip up when you feed them and will automatically flip down after a set period, or electronically, just a display that says 'fed' when you push a button and resets itself after a time.



Most people will just us a chalkboard or dry erase board, you can write the time of the last feeding on it and then everyone else will know. You can get a 4' x 8' sheet of dry erase material at a Home Depot (NOT Office Depot) for about $15 and make thirty-two 1' x1' signs. The markers are cheap too.
