Wifi Oneisall Cordless automatic cat power supply for $ 60: I had great hopes for this cordless power supply that boasts a rechargeable battery with a life of 100 days and an integrated app, but is too unreliable. Through the app, it is possible to program up to 10 daily meals (in 1-12 portions each), monitor the eating habits of pets and customize the calls of meals. Unlike other apps, you are not able to choose the size of the portion, but instead you have to multiply the number of portions. The app gave me constant problems and often disconnected from the power supply and would not be able to reconnect to the wifi. Fortunately, I was able to program meals via screen and buttons, but it would have been much more beautiful if the app had worked reliablely.

Catit Pixi Smart 6-Meal Feeder for $ 103: Like others in this list, Catit Pixi Wet and Dry Feeder uses ice packs to keep food wet fresh and discovers the meals below six compartments in a rotating program. The program can be programmed via the app or modified on the power supply body. At this price, the app should not be so limited and glitch. The program is available only in military time and the app is extremely limited: you can set the meal program only for the same day and when I wanted to do only two or three meals a day distributed in two days, I had to reprogram the meals for each new day. The power supply did not keep it cold enough to spread the meals and the wet food was not at a safe power supply temperature. At this price, just get the Petlibro Polar Wet power supply for a few money more.
Catit Pixi Smart Cat Feeder for $ 140: The croquettes are kept in the body of this dry power supply, but it does not have a window to visually control the levels of food. The calendar to plan meals shows only one week at a time and, although it should repeat daily based on the program, I discovered that a few days there would be no programs despite having created one. Even Pixi does not tell you how much food has been distributed; It refers to it as a “portion”: I measured manually and discovered that the portion was less than a spoonful of croquettes. After having used it continuously for more than a month, I discovered that it was extremely glitches and almost never blocked in a reliable way to the programmed program, sometimes by completely jumping meals. This power supply is potentially dangerous and I would warn the parents of pets to rely on it.
Close animals C500 for $ 75: This automatic wet and dry power supply can plan up to four pre -port meals (and a manually indicated meal) which are opened on a timer system using three AA batteries (sold separately). The user preset the four times in which the bowls want, who have ice packs underneath, rotate. The bowls are quite deep and narrow and are not easy to reach for cats, which could cause fatigue of the mustache. And although there are two relatively large packs of ice, when I checked the power supply after a night of sleep, the herds were not very cold. This could be ok for the croquettes, but the wet food was maintained at unsafe temperatures and my cats could not reach all the food.
Why use an automatic power supply?
Automatic power supplies are excellent for pet owners who want to help manage the weight of their pets and monitor food models. In addition, they allow much more control and precision for the owners to learn exactly how much their cat is by eating and when. Since cats are naturally more at night, many have the annoying habit of waking up in the first hours asking for food, and these allow you to set up a program that adapts more to their program without disturbing yours.
Obviously, it is never recommended to leave pets alone for long periods, but these automatic power supplies give more tranquility and are much healthier for your pet than leaving a huge amount of food for free nutrition while you are away for the night. In a nutshell, it is a easier way to nourish and monitor your cat’s health with less jobs for you, the human.
How long can I leave my cat alone?
Although cats are generally considered less high maintenance than dogs, it is not yet good to leave your cat for prolonged periods. In terrible circumstances, you can leave a cat alone 24-48 hours With programmed feeds and a source of clean water, but it is not ideal, especially for cats with health problems, cats younger than one year or very elderly cats. Although these power supplies and meals can be programmed in advance and for several days, our pets still need their human friends around enrichment, care and well, love.
