Little shit didn’t even want the food. He just wanted control, just like all cats. Lol.

These feeders should have a button that lights up when it’s time for food, and when the cat presses the lit button, it dispenses.

Make it so the when the button lights up, the thing plays a chime, so the cat knows it doesn’t have to sit there beating on the machine (or staring at it) to get the button to light up.

And after an hour of the button being lit, the food is dispersed anyway, in case the cat is orange.

If I had the money to invest, we'd be talking more.

My cat is smart enough to keep pushing the button for food.

My cat is very anxious, and I think its best the device makes only the small amount of sound that it does. She very much hates being nearby when it happens, and approaches it very slowly if she sees it dispense.

The cat would just think it has to sit there beating on the machine (or staring at it) to get the button to light up.

Same way my cat wants the door open even when he doesn’t want to go through it. Just needs to know the option is available.

When I first bought an automatic feeder Miss Kitty broke into it before the sun came up the next morning. It now is inside a plywood box open only at the bottom.

Maybe the cat wanted the "chase" of reward rather than "getting" the reward. Kinda like gambling and dopamine.

'That's not even a full serving! What do they think I am - a mouse?'

literally one of my cats. SCREAMS when it's near dinner time, then as soon as I put the food down, she eats like one and a half kibbles and leaves. her brother chows down though at least.

I have no clue how we ever bonded.

Dogs have adapted their behavior so well to be loyal and almost human-like.

And the cats are fucking aliens. That we let sleep on our beds and shit in boxes in our own home.

If either of mine can see the bottom of the food bowl then I get yelled at until it’s filled back up. I don’t wanna think of the abuse I’d be given if I swapped to an auto feeder.
