I can probably make a little arduino driven vehicle that will chase after my cats.

I'd simply get a dog.

You clearly don't have dogs AND cats!
With one springer spaniel, three collies and 25+ cats the dogs do what the cats tell them

If I had that number of pets in my apartment, (a) the neighbors would complain, and (b) the local municipality would give me an enormous fine, and force me to get rid of them.

So you don't have a Chow Chow. I've got two friends with Chow Chows; they both tell me that those are dogs behaving like cats. And everyone who knows them, agree.
Btw, I really hope that your are living on a farm, not in a 12th floor apartment in downtown city

Lol! One bedroom flat, with home made mezzanine floors at 1 metre intervals 
No, my wife runs a breeding cattery.
The Spaniel loves the kittens and the mothers are quite happy to let her clean them for her. Just so long as it's lick, and not chomp.

If you add an AI CBR* module, it will be able to tell if it's chasing your cat or an illegal-alien cat, and so choose to either chase to play or chase away.

My only contribution to this discussion is a request that you make this device look like a mouse.
Then post videos.

Let's try something...
• Turns on TV (after spending ten minutes looking for the remote, because I only ever use the TV for playing PS2 games).
• Hunts for an unfunny "comedy" show that needs a laugh track to demonstrate to people that it's supposed to be funny.
• Uses phone to record a few seconds of audio that contain the canned laughter.
• Uses ES file manager to transfer the laugh-track file to the server.
• Copies the file to a workstation.
• Opens the file in GoldWave, and cleans out anything that isn't canned laughter.
• Goes back to your message, reads it, and plays the laugh track.
Nope. Didn't work. Still didn't get a laugh out of me.

So I did this interview for Software Engineering position with a startup and apparently I did fine. Now they would like to move forward with the process and do the 2nd interview. 
Lately, I've been receiving so many rejections that I don't even know how to react to this news. Can someone please help?

Be happy, go there, do your best and go back home with peace of conscience
If they reject you afterwars and you know you are good, their loss. You will find another thing.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Reality check - maybe you need to improve your skills, or only apply for jobs that you're qualified for.

Second interview, same venue ...
New secretary? Beware the double application form. Since you filled out the first one ...
IF you have to go through that again, for instance, she hands you a form which you've already filled out, ask to see the first one and say "I have some information to add to it". IF it is the actual record (which is what you want really) ... take it and proceed to your seat to "fill it out/alter it".
Spill coffee on it and smudge chocolate bar (if you have one; consider THIS tip a warning). Go back and explain the problem and ask for a brand new application form.
Chances are you've got your original now plus a new form ... head for the in-door.
Leave. Run past security. Exit building.
Technically, you haven't been rejected and you've, for all intents and purposes, added to the list of things you've done, snatched your personal information from the talons of a bird who file-pads for a living and is now failing at her job. AND you can now deal with rejection and have something positive to think about ... why rejection can be so sweet!

From the article: Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes
That's the problem. They cleaned out an entire region of supplies that will help mitigate the spread of the virus. If you don't discourage these activities (especially on what is probably the most accessible market worldwide), it will incentivize more people to participate. More regions will be without needed supplies and the pandemic will be worse.
It's obvious why the pandemic would be worse locally since mitigation supplies aren't available. But there's also a secondary problem, which is that the spread would not be entirely local. If people around you are getting sick and you aren't symptomatic yet, you may very well travel in order to procure those supplies for yourself, further spreading the virus.
