This option allows you to record a message that plays each time a new meal is deposited into the bowl or rotated into the available eating slow. Food is prepared in advance and you can provide variability for your cat quite easily. There are a couple of main dispensing methods:ĭisc Feeders: These have a tray that rotates for each feeding period.
This is one of the most important pieces of selection criteria because it will depend heavily on your cat's eating habits. There are some other feeders that will do as few as 2 meals or even 1 automated meal, but I didn't include any of these in my list for various reasons. This helps keep your cat's diet in check by controlling the total number of calories your cat eats and how often he or she eats. Depending on the design of your feeder this usually ranges from allowing 4 meals up a day up to 12 meals a day. This is important for keeping a limit on overall calorie intake and also ensures your cat won't end up vomiting if they eat too quickly. This option is available to control both the overall amount of food your cat eats as well as how much food is consumed at any one time. Simply put the treat and the medicine in one of the rotating disc type feeders and set the timer and your kitty will have their medicine right on time! This of course assumes your kitty will eat their medicine! You'll also find many cats that simply require daily medication can have it deployed in one of these auto feeders. On top of this some cats, like diabetic cats, need to have meals at very consistent times to properly maintain blood sugar levels.
At the least it encourages your cat to walk back to the feeder each time which is some exercise. Eating smaller meals in more spread out periods throughout the day helps promote better health for your cat. It is also nice when I get stuck at the office late because I don't need to worry about them waiting an extra few hours for me to get home and give them their dinner.Įating huge meals has proven to be just as poor for cat health as it is for human health. I myself travel extensively for work (usually on 24 hour trips) and it is always nice to be able to quickly login and see Beast or Lexi for a moment and watch them eat their dinner or their breakfast. It helps give you a touch of home while you're away which is always nice!
Many feeders are also have tons of features that ensure you can login and see your cat and even talk to your cat through the built in speaker. "Just set it and forget it." as the old saying goes. If you travel often or perhaps work long hours then an automatic feeder can help relieve some of the stress of ensuring your feline friends get fed even if you're not around. Lots of small portions ensures your cat won't get sick all over the house! If your cat cannot eat too much too fast then her stomach is unlikely to react poorly. There are lots of different ways to deal with this, but an automatic feeder with a slow feeding function or with small portion control makes helps extensively. Lots of cats have issues with eating very quickly and then getting sick even more quickly. Be sure your kitty is getting enough exercise! Preventing Vomiting: This activity is often because the cats don't get enough exercise during the day and they aren't tired so they don't go to sleep. Note many cats make noise at night and people assume they want food. Auto feeders can help handle this issue quite easily by automatically releasing food for your kitty at any programmed time. Lots of cats are prone to wake their human companions up at all hours of the evening or morning meowing for food. There are lots of reasons people consider an automatic cat food dispenser in their home, but the most common reasons can be broken into a couple of key categories.
