1. An airtight automatic cat feeder, which uses patented storage technology to stop stray kibble from dispensing no matter how much your sneaky fur kid rocks or whacks the machine.
The digital timer allows you to set up to six feedings a day and can store close to 17 cups of dry food.
Promising review: "This is great for me since I get home at different times and can't always be home at feeding time. It's reliable and easy enough to program if you read the instructions. The portions make it so your cats don't overeat — just do some basic measuring and testing with the one time feed button. If you already feed them from a gravity feeder, then just experiment over a week or two and look up recommended feed amounts for the weight of your animal. Extremely long battery life — I don't even bother plugging mine in, and I don't need to use the voice feature because the sound of the food hitting the bowl sends them running." —high-o silver

2. An infrared detecting automatic cat feeder for preventing any stray foodies from getting stuck AND it'll disperse the same amount of food every time up to four times a day. Can you say four paws up??
Promising review: "Our 7-year-old cat would constantly demand food several times a day, so my husband and I were overfeeding to placate him. As a way to combat this, we decided to buy this automatic feeder. It has been amazing! We've set up a schedule to feed him four times a day (so every 6 hours), that way he has a steady flow of food going into his bowl. We also were able to measure exactly how much food he'd need to finally lose that extra weight he gained due to overeating. Determining the portion size took some math as the bag states how much food in cups, while the automatic feeder dispenses portions in pounds, but we were able to get the right amount determined. We only need to do up to two portions per feeding and the automatic feeder goes up to 30+ portions, so it could easily dispense enough for more than one cat, or even a small dog. At six portions a day, I'm only needing to fill up the automatic feeder once every two to three weeks, so it is low maintenance. My favorite feature is the back up battery in case the power goes out, so our cat always gets fed. Overall, he is much happier as he nows gets his food on an exact schedule throughout the day, and we are happier as he no longer yowls at us at random times when hungry." —jlfakir

3. A theft-proof automatic cat feeder employing a special collar attachment that will only open the food chamber for the pet you put it on, which is especially helpful if you've got another pet that's a total mooch.
The storage compartment can hold up to 32 cups of food and can be portion controlled for up to six servings a day.
Promising review: "I've only had it for a month, but so far, it is amazing. Takes a little bit of getting them used to it. I recommend letting them just feed out of it without it opening and closing first. I like leaving it open and close for intruders right now, as it's less scary for them. 10/10 would recommend. Expensive but worth it, especially if you are trying to serve other food, or if you have one who will eat everyone's." —MaxM

4. A Wi-Fi-enabled automatic cat feeder built with the ability to remotely schedule feedings and track your lil fur bby's feeding history using the accompanying app. Oh, and you can schedule up to 10 feedings a day so they can enjoy a sweet little treat from their new in-house ~chef~.
Promising review: "Great for monitoring portion sizes. We have a cat that throws up if he eats too fast and the portion sizing is just great to prevent that from happening. We've had this for about two months and we haven't had any scarfing down food and then puking incidents! Plus, if we ever forget to feed the cats for any reason we can do it from the app anywhere we are. That's great for peace of mind." —~*Marebearz*~

5. A programmable voice recording automatic cat feeder anxious pets can feel relaxed with as your messages soothe and tell them the best news they could get: "Time to eat, my precious fur baby!"
Comes with a programmable timer for up to four meals a day, and controls whether they receive 2 tablespoons or 4.5 cups a feeding. There's also a noise that goes off when each meal is distributed.
Promising review: "I love this automatic pet feeder so much! I am a teacher, so I leave for work at about 6 a.m. and come back home around 6 p.m. On the app, you are able to set schedules for when you want to feed your pet as well as how much you want to feed them. My favorite part is you are able to record your voice to call them over for breakfast/lunch/dinner — although the food dispensing is enough for them to run over. I love how I am able to access the camera whenever I want and record a video and take a picture. Not going to lie, I also use this food dispenser as a home security system to check up on what’s going on in the house. I have two of these at home: one for my kitty and one for my adult cat. My kitten gets the small food portion while my adult cat gets the bigger portion. I love the two options and can’t wait to easily switch my kitten to the bigger portion once he grows up." —Vicky Su

6. A portion control automatic cat feeder that will ensure your feline sticks to their diet and consistently gets fed the same amount every time — as for treats from guests, well, that's another story.
Can hold up to 6 liters of food, and you must use the app associated with it to program how much food is given and set up a schedule (up to 15 meals). You can also record a custom message for your cat that plays when it's time to feed them.
Promising review: "I love that this feeder is Wi-Fi enabled and has an app to go with it. I can control portion sizes, what time of day I want the food to come out, and can even record a voice message to summon my cat that can be heard 50 feet away. I can set a schedule or go by each individual day — if say, they eat less one day and have leftovers in their bowl, I can change the time or portion size the next day to accommodate that. So far, the Wi-Fi has worked just fine, and the app does too. I have it plugged in, but also added batteries for the backup. So far, so good, so I would recommend this!" —Kristy
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors).
7. A six meal automatic cat feeder that uses a digital timer to disperse servings of dry OR semi-wet food. It's even dishwasher friendly, eliminating the need for you to hand scrub that built up slobber from your excited foodie of a kitty cat.
A recording will play every time a new meal is served to remind your pet when it's time to eat.
Promising review: "We feed our cat twice a day and wanted portion control. It really helps when someone can't come over every day to feed her while we are gone, and it also helps when we get sick. I don’t have to worry and I know she is taken care of when I can't get out of bed." —Lyn E.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two styles).
8. A double automatic cat feeder featuring twice the feedings, which will save you the trouble of having to program two separate feeders for your furry friends.
Dispenses equal portions at the same time with the capability of serving four meals a day.
Promising review: "This was so easy to set up. I know my boys are getting the right amount on schedule every feeding. I love that I could program my voice calling them to eat and creating that bond even when I'm not home. They learned the process pretty quickly, and now they're usually waiting at the bowls when the feeder goes off. Extra bonus: They're not waking me up on my day off — I can sleep in and let the feeder take care of it. Wish I would have bought this sooner." —ddstarr
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three colors).
9. A programmable automatic cat feeder to schedule out feedings, so your purr-fect pal doesn't wake you up again at 5 a.m. to get their morning chow on. Me-ow!
Choose between 20 portions and schedule up to six meals a day; it holds up to 17 cups of food.
Promising review: "I bought two of these to make sure my cats were getting fed their usual diet at their usual times while I was on vacation. So far, I have no complaints. These are awesome automatic feeders. They hold a lot of cat food — I think I might have to fill them every two weeks or so. Super easy to set up, multiple serving options, and you can choose multiple feeding times. You can also record a message to call your cat to the bowl when it's feeding time too. However, if your cats are anything like mine, they will run to the dispenser at the first sound of food falling in the bowl. Has been one of the best investments ever. I can finally sleep past 5 a.m. without my cats waking me up to feed them. I had tried a different feeder before, but I found this to be superior: My cats have more space, and it holds more food. Would highly recommend, great price for a great product." —Angie

10. A mini automatic cat feeder requiring no Wi-Fi or app to program your furball's meal times and portions. Plus, it uses an internal turntable so it doesn't get in a ~jam~ once dinnertime rolls around.
The stainless-steel food tray can be removed for cleaning, while the main food compartment can hold up to 2 liters of food.
Promising review: "Love this feeder! It’s simple, works great, and is very convenient. I love seeing my cat run to her bowl of food when she hears it go off. You can choose up to four meals — I only programmed it for three, but you can adjust the portion sizes as well. Definitely recommend this product!" —Tayy
Get it from Chewy for $62.99 (available in three colors).
11. A wet food-friendly rotating automatic cat feeder for the pets that are picky eaters and dry food just won't suffice. There are even two ice packs included in the design to help keep their yummy meals nice and ~fresh~. Could it be anymore purr-fect?
The feeder uses three AA batteries that are not included and can serve up to five meals. A digital customizer is found under the cover to set meal timings and power on. It's even dishwasher-safe, too!
Promising review: "We ordered this auto feeder to keep our kitty from waking us up at 4 a.m. to eat, and it worked! We use all the settings so she can have portions throughout the day when we are at work. It's great since we can't leave food out because she doesn't know when enough is enough. We found it very easy to use and liked the ability of portion control." —Amazon Customer
