A cat is a fairly low-maintenance pet, but you still have to make sure that your cat gets the right nutrition each day. Working a full-time job or traveling for work can interrupt your cat's feeding schedule. If you are looking for a way to control how much your cat eats and when mealtimes happen - even when you are not at home - you might want to consider an automatic cat feeder.
Automatic cat feeders come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Some of them are simple and easy to use, while others are more complex with a companion app and many special features.
