Frequently asked questions
Can my cat break into an automatic feeder?
With three of the eight models, our cats managed to get to the food supply. Our pick has a locking lid.
How long can I leave my cat alone with an automatic feeder?
One day at most. A cat also needs fresh water, a clean litter box and attention.
