PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder for 2 Cats, 5G&2.4G WiFi, 5L, Dual Stainless Steel Bowls

PETLIBRO's automatic feeder for 2 cats with 5G&2.4G WiFi, a 5L hopper and dual stainless steel bowls.

Our score8.6/10

When your cat's food bowl sits a few feet from where you sleep and work, an early-morning wake-up yowl gets old fast. An automatic feeder handles scheduled portions so your cat is fed on time even when you are out or still asleep. We looked for feeders with reliable portioning, a hopper that fits a small counter, and voices or apps that let you check in remotely. Easy-to-clean parts matter in a compact kitchen, and a stable base keeps a determined cat from tipping it over.
