Can I leave my cat alone for two days with an automatic feeder?
It is possible, but the safer choice would be to have someone check in on your cat at least daily rather than relying on the feeder alone for two days. Before you go, test the feeder with the intended food and schedule for a few days, top off water sources, refresh the litter box, and place the feeder where it can't be tipped or tampered with. If your cat eats wet food, use a feeder that can keep it chilled or switch to dry for a little while.
How much food can an automatic cat feeder hold?
The capacity will be different for various products. Hopper-style dry food feeders typically hold multiple days to several weeks of kibble, but rotating trays usually have space for two to six pre-portioned meals. To choose the right size for dry food, multiply your cat's daily ration by the number of days between refills and then check the product's listed capacity and compatible kibble size.
