Cat Mate C300 Automatic Dog & Cat Feeder, 3-cup

works great for me n my cat! i was worried the opening would be too small but it works fine for her- she gets all the wet food i put in there. its easy to program the time and i haven't had any problems with it jamming or not moving correctly. the bowl rotates pretty slow so i wouldnt have to worry about my cat getting stuck cause it moved too fast for her to get out. i switched to using this and a dry food automatic feeder, after giving her wet food and free-feeding dry food. she got a little fat off free-feeding, but using a automatic feeders means i only have to remember to give her food once a day. pretty helpful for me. i started putting a couple pieces of duct tape on either side because works great for me n my cat! i was worried the opening would be too small but it works fine for her- she gets all the wet food i put in there. its easy to program the time and i haven't had any problems with it jamming or not moving correctly. the bowl rotates pretty slow so i wouldnt have to worry about my cat getting stuck cause it moved too fast for her to get out. i switched to using this and a dry food automatic feeder, after giving her wet food and free-feeding dry food. she got a little fat off free-feeding, but using a automatic feeders means i only have to remember to give her food once a day. pretty helpful for me. i started putting a couple pieces of duct tape on either side because the first day i used it my cat popped the lid off and ate all the food though it couldve just been me not closing it right. either way i put tape on just in case. i also plan on buying another freezer pack so i can swap out a new frozen one every time i refill. … more

I ordered two of these automatic feeders for my cats who both have digestive issues. I wanted them to be able to eat three smaller meals instead of two large meals, and since I work all day and don't get home until after 6:00 sometimes, it's nice to have these automatic feeders feed my cats when I can't. I program the feeders for 6:00 am and 12:00 pm, then I feed the cats their dinner when I get home. This feeder saves me from getting up early on weekends to feed them breakfast, which is lovely! It took about a week for the cats to get used to the feeders. Once, one of the cats was finishing up a little food left from breakfast when the device started turning for the noon meal.

She freaked out and ran away but came back a few minutes later and ate her lunch. It's a little difficult for the cats to get the food out of the corners of the bowls, but they do manage. I recommend this automatic feeder. … more

I bought this 3-cup feeder because I have certain days of the week that I am at work for 16 hrs. My kitten of 7 mo, wants to eat 3 times a day but small portions. Other brands do not handle wet food, and that's all I feed her so I needed something that would do wet. This works great! The blue ice pack keeps the wet food fresh, and it turns right on time with the timer! I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I got this for my cat who eats wet food. He was driving me insane in the morning begging for food. I froze the food in the bowl portioned out and froze the cold pack that comes with it. Within 12 hours, his food was not cold anymore. I'm sure this would be great for maybe one wet meal and one dry or a dry food diet, but it still does what it's meant to. Easy to program. Bowls are large for big portions and no whisker fatigue. I would recommend for pets on a mostly dry food diet

Definitely not the quality of Sure Feed that I've used for my past 2 cats, but for a cat who cannot free feed, this could work. It is very cheaply made and I wonder if it will last. Cat does not seem to like the small size of the openings. He pulls food out onto the floor to eat. Can't recommend until I keep using but would like to get him to not binge and use Sure Feed.

We have two of these for two different cats. After consistent 4am wake up calls, we decided they were a good investment. They work perfectly for our needs- before dinner we put wet food in slot 1, and their dry food breakfast in slot 2, leaving slot 0 empty. I would not count on the chilling capabilities of the freezer blocks, but we always refill right before dinner anyway. I came here to write this review because our GSD is currently on steroids. That means she’s “starving” all the time. We just came home to find the feeder 4 rooms away from where it’s supposed to be, still sealed up tight. So if you’re worried about finding something secure, this survived a fight with a ravenous 100lb dog. We have two of these for two different cats.

Starting between 4 and 5 am, my little ginger found ingenious ways to wake me to feed her and thumping frames against the wall was the worst. Now their evening snack and morning meal are automatically dispensed by the CatMate. They run when the whirring starts!

I ordered this to go along with 2 other feeders that I use for wet food to offer some dry kibble as treats while I am away. The product came extremely quickly but does not work properly. After a couple days of attempting and and new sets of batteries, the feeder compartment never lined up properly with the opening and when the timer moves the dish it ends up at the same opening it started at after it rotates 2 times around. I called the company's helpline and they are sending a replacement but it won't get here until the day I am not home! A lot of use it will do sitting outside in a box! Disappointed I spent this money.

Returned without using. Only two of the three bowls sit over the ice packs. Because of the design, one of the bowls over the ice pack has to be the one that starts open. Thus this functionally only keeps one delayed meal cold.

I'm planning on going on vacation and the automatic cat feeder seems like a good plan. Our cat babysitter will only have to come in once a day to refill. The instructions on set up and use were clear. I did a test run and it worked just fine. Can't really say more than that at this point.
