This is a four litre programmable feeder that holds six meals a day, each with its own portion size and its own time, running from mains power with four AA batteries as a fallback so a power cut does not become a missed meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour litres is the number that matters. It covers roughly two to three weeks for a single cat on a normal portion, which means a weekend away stops requiring a neighbour. The hopper seals against moisture, so kibble stays crisp instead of going soft at the bottom, and freeze dried food keeps its texture rather than turning to powder. The bowl resists bacterial build up and lifts out in one piece for washing, which is the part that decides whether a feeder gets cleaned weekly or never.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slow feed mode is the setting most owners end up using. Instead of dropping the whole portion at once, it releases in smaller increments, which slows a fast eater and reduces the gulping that leads to vomiting and bloat. Programming is done on the unit with a simple timer interface, no app and no account, so it still works when the WiFi is down or the phone is dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA feeder is not a gadget.

Put it against a wall or in a corner, and keep the bowl height sensible for the animal. If your cat is a paw dipper, check the bowl after each drop rather than leaving food sitting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eLift out the bowl and wash it weekly with mild soap. Empty and wipe the hopper monthly, and let it dry fully before refilling so the food does not pick up moisture.
