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

My 19 year old cat has a heart murmur and is losing weight fast. I needed to switch her from dry to canned food so I could easily give her meds and more calories in her food. But I work and couldn't figure out how to give her canned food that is fresh and cool so as not to make her sick from eating warm dry canned food. This was my solution and it works beautifully! Easy to operate. I purchased two of them for a few reasons. If I wanted to set up 6 feedings per day, or two have to frozen packs, or if one of them eventually stopped working. I just hope she will gain some weight now!

What a good quality product! This feeder works just as I was hoping. Fill all 3 compartments and you're set to leave your cat or small dog for several days. Holds a nice amount of food and even comes with an ice pack if you need one. The only thing I have against it is the fact that it's made in China.

I love this feeder! Let me start by saying my cat would normally get fed around 7 AM when I get up for work. She would sit by the bed and meow consistently an hour before which interrupted my sleep. Our roommate has a very loud alarm which we think the cat was hearing and to her that meant food was coming soon. For dinner time, she would do the same. Any motion towards the bathroom (where the food bowl is kept) she would dart in and meow 1-2 hours before dinner time. I bought this automatic feeder in hopes that she would stop screaming at me so early in the mornings and it has completely worked like a charm! The only time she meows at me for food is when I forget to add food to the bowl and I love this feeder! Let me start by saying my cat would normally get fed around 7 AM when I get up for work.

The only time she meows at me for food is when I forget to add food to the bowl and it turns only to be empty. The feeder is super easy to set up and allows you to choose what time and how often you wish to feed/rotate. I have it set for AM/PM and then I open it at night before bed and refill it. Just be sure to pay attention to which way it rotates so you know which bowl to fill. There is even a cold pack that sits underneath so if you wish to add wet food to the bowl, it'll stay fresh although I have yet to test that out myself. Overall, I highly recommend this item. It has never not turned (it has been a few seconds-minutes off on the rare occasion, but never to the point of concerning). Saved my sanity and a few more minutes of precious sleep! … more

I bought three of them when I went on a short vacation last summer. It works great! You set the timer for 2 feedings per day and they each have 3 compartments. I was worried they would be flimsy and my fat cats would break into them, but they are sturdy and heavy enough to not have to worry about that. If I could plug them in, I would probably use them all of the time, but they take 3 batteries each, so that would get expensive.

I use this everyday and my cat got used to it very quickly! Its especially great for when you go away for the weekend (if you do that often go for the feeder with 5 portions). Easy to program times and its a great way to get your cat on a feeding schedule. Highly recommend, definitely worth the money!!!!!!!

My cat is on steroids for a medical problem, and when she's hungry, she's really hungry! She was waking us up during the night when her food bowl would get empty. No more! We set the timer for 2:30 AM and 5:30 AM, and now we no longer have her in our faces on the bed, demanding more food. This is really designed well, easy to clean and easy to operate. I highly recommend it.

we had a failure with a less expensive feeder and Chewy.com quickly gave us a refund. we decided to try something more expensive (not much more) and, so far, this unit is doing the trick. our always hungry male cat would awaken us between 2am and 3am every night, but now he's enjoying the automatic feeder and letting us sleep. the digital controls are straightforward, the unit feels very solid, and I'm thinking it will have a long life.

this product doesn’t work. i’ve read the instructions, i have the batteries, i set the time... but it does not stay set and will not rotate. waste of money.

It’s important for us to give our diabetic cat frequent and small meals. It’s impossible whilst we’re working or sleeping. This has been a lifesaver and has helped regulate his blood sugar.

I bought 2 of these for my cats' moist food because of the ice packs, however, they stay cold for less than 8 hours. The clock and timer are easy to set and it works fine (bowls turn counterclockwise), but I'm disappointed with these for the price. They're fine for dry food and I'll keep using them because my blind cat knows by the sound that his food is available.
