My cat loves this feeder, works great every day.

I bought two Cat Mate feeder bowls (€55!) Neither work!! The instructions are awful, the timer and product care sections are fine but apparently this needs screws?? And has to be screwed into the floor/a base. This is only shown in a picture) with absolutly no actual instructions of what screws, where to actually put them and why you need to cut a peice of the plastic?? When the time for the feedings happen the bowl makes a whirring noise and moves maybe 3cm. Awful product, waste of money.

Its very good when we're out past teatime and our cat can help himself! He's now used to the sound of the compartments whirring round at the set time and goes running in! Just that the food on the outer edges of the compartments can tend to get under the lip of the top cover and can get lodged under there so more effort needed by cat to get it out - but he's managed so far. Glad we bought it and think worth the money. Not sure if we get a warning when the battery is low though, must check info.

What was delivered wasn’t a feeder that can be programmed for three meals, despite having three bowls, but only for two. The third one has to be filled manually. It’s going back, as my cat needs at least three meals a day and I want that to be programmable.

We've been using it for two months now. Our kitten managed to open it twice because wet food smells so good and the young cat just won't give up. He scratches and pulls at it, but so far the feeder, which is stuck to the floor, is still intact. Overall, I'm satisfied. When the batteries are weak, it doesn't move all the way, so you need to remember to replace them.
