Recommendation for automatic cat feeder

**IrishKitty** · 28th April 2010, 04:57 PM

I really need to get an automatic cat feeder. Winston is not agrazer so i can't leave out food for the day. he will just wolf the whole lot down in one go. I'd really like to get an automatic cat feeder and I'm wondering if anybody has one or could recommend one

Daughter always had one for her cat but unfortunately can't remember the name of it,worked very well & only had one failure in several years of using it,Crystal had obviously got very impatient waiting for it to open & had pushed it from her room upstairs along the landing & down the stairs, it ended upside down & when the timer went off it couldn't open properly,when daughter arrived home cat was still trying to get paw into the small opening to get food out,product not at fault cat to blame.
She had the one that only went off once but I think you can get them that set for twice.

I didn't even know you could get these. Simba is a grazer though - he has his dry food left out all day up high on a windowsill where the dogs cant' get it - he sits there munching away while looking out the window

Between 5 and 6pm the dogs get there dinner and when Simba hears me with their bowls he comes running in and I give him some wet food as a treat but he never eats much of it.
