Automatic Cat Feeder, RFID Cat Food Dispenser with Collar Sensor, Timed Auto Pet Feeder for Multi-Cat Households, 4 Feeding Modes, Suitable for Both Wet and Dry Food Gray

Game-Changer for Multi-Pet Households
This feeder has made feeding time so much simpler! Setup took minutes, and the design is incredibly thoughtful. The feeding chute keeps my dog out while letting my cat eat in peace – no more scarfing down food because she’s worried about the dog stealing it.The anti-pitch design keeps it stable, and I love having multiple feeding modes to choose from. Everything feels safe and well-made, from the rounded edges to the enclosed feeding mechanism. Storage capacity is great, and I can easily see when it needs refilling.Perfect solution if you have both cats and dogs. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and convenience!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Perfect for senior cats
Owning multiple cats can be a real pain when it comes to feeding time. Especially for our veteran kitties.My old guy was aptly named “Rambo”. He was a feral cat that I caught, neutered and planned to let go but he took one look out of the door into the cold rain and ran back to his hidey hole behind the couch. He’s flighty and generally spends most of his life sleeping in his cozy house I bought him but after 10 years he’s still not interested in going outside. No problem.Except at feeding time.Rambo prefers flight over fight and one of my other cats, Bourne (see what I did there?) prefers fight over flight. Animals become what you name them, you know? So Rambo, just like his name sake, prefers to just give in and walk away when that’s a choice. Not good for an old cat that struggles to hold weight.“Put him in a different room”. You forget, Rambo has PTSD and a bit of schizophrenia, you corner him in a room and he will choose fight. I’d rather not have another repeat of that incident. Defending him myself at feeding time was getting us nowhere. Every time I stood up to chase the other cats off my Old Man would run for his safe spot. Feed him in his safe spot? Bourne would hop in there and corner him. Instant cat fight. All of this to say, Rambo was losing weight and I was getting worried.So I found this neat little contraption.Pulling it out of the box I was a bit worried at first. It was big and strange looking and I feared Rambo would be scared of it. It’s not instantly intuitive as far as set up but with the directions I had it set up to open to the chip in 2 minutes. I set it in Rambo’s regular eating spot and placed his old bowl directly in front of it. Getting the chip collar on Rambo was a small chore but that was a feral cat vs human who has fed him for 10 years type of battle. Once everything was in place, training began.Yes. He was terrified of it at first but after a few days he got used to the noise of the door opening every time he ate. I eventually placed a scoop of food inside the feeder and a bit less in his regular bowl at feeding time. He would eat out of his old bowl and then from the feeder after it had already opened. The real test came when we left for 3 days. I filled up the feeder, wished him luck and we left. Our human feeder dropped by and announced the food inside the auto feeder had been disturbed and he placed some extra in it just in case. When we got back the food was all gone. I filled it up right away and out waltzed the Old Man to immediately open his feeder and start eating. I was so excited. Bourne was much less excited because when he ran over to get some food Rambo walked away and the door closed. It worked perfectly.It’s been around two-ish months since I bought it and Rambo has already gained a healthy weight and a proud stalk when he gets to choose when to eat. I was able to switch him to a higher protein feed and he’s sleek and shiny. I’ve also noticed he’s become much more relaxed in general but especially about feeding time. No more scarfing down his meal as fast as possible before Bourne chases him away. The bowl is easy to remove and clean, filling it is no problem and the programming has stayed intact through a few unplugging incidents.Rambo is happy. I am happy. Bourne is not happy but his fat little belly can stand a little disappointment. This feeder was worth every penny spent.Now if I can just figure out how to get Rambo to stop opening the feeder for my Cattle Dog, John 117 (I have a trend with naming my animals you see), we’ll be in great shape.

Cheap. Not worth it
I have tried and returned two of these machines hoping the first one was just a dud & I could get these to work for my needs, but they just suck overall. The first one would not read or remember any of the RDIF chips. The second one read and remembered the chip but the sensor is so particular that it only opens when you have the chip right on top of the machine. If a cat is wearing the collar ,it is dangling down and when the cat walks up to the window to eat, the chip is not up on top of the machine dangling right by the sensor, it is dangling down towards the floor and the machine doesn’t read it and doesn’t open. The chip reader is so shitty that the door closes on my cat while his head is in the machine, with the collar in the machine, eating. The sensors are not good. Worthless

Great Customer Service
Even though this product did not work for my cats, the return/refund process was quick and easy. The company representative immediately contacted me with reassurance that they have made improvements in their design. They offered me to try again, however, I already found another feeder that is working fine for my skiddish cat. With the impressive customer service, do not be weary of trying this cute, practical feeder. Thank you!
