Pets of a working person suffer from a lack of communication and attention from the owner. So that they do not also lose their regular food, various auto feeders and auto drinkers have been developed.
The auto feeder delivers food to the cat at the time that the owner sets on the timer. It is also possible to adjust the number of feedings per day and the size of the portion, since the consumption of food for animals of different ages and breeds is very different.
What auto feeders for cats exist
The most common auto-feeder for cats operates according to the following principle: at a set time, food for the animal comes from the container through the dispenser into the attached bowl. This model is designed only for dry food. The bowl can be easily removed from under the dispenser, and you can wash and dry it at any time.
Another model of auto feeder for cats is a large bowl with a cutout in the lid. The owner of the animal sets the time for feeding the feed on the timer. When this peculiar alarm goes off, the lid turns to reveal the fresh food compartment. Usually there are 3-4 compartments with food for the cat in a bowl, this is enough for the whole day. This model of an auto-feeder allows you to give your pet any food.
More expensive pet feeders have built-in ice packs to keep food fresh for a long time. That is, these models allow the owner to leave the pet alone at home for several days without worrying about the regularity of feeding and the quality of food.
What are the advantages of auto feeders for cats
Some models of pet feeders are equipped with a device for recording and playing the voice of the owner who calls the pet. This feature allows the cat to quickly get used to the novelty and not be intimidated by the sound of the timer.
In addition, automatic feeding devices for cats allow you to monitor the health of pets, preventing them from overeating and acquiring gastrointestinal diseases. If you just leave a lot of food in a simple bowl for the whole day, the animal may eat everything at once, and then suffer from a heaviness in the stomach or from diarrhea.
A cat in your absence may well combine business with pleasure if you have a model of an intelligent auto-feeder. The pet not only receives food, but also reveals its mental abilities and develops physically.
The design of the auto-feeder is a labyrinth tube with holes of different sizes. The cat needs to push the pieces of food to the exit from the maze with its paw, using the windows. As a result of intellectual and physical efforts, the pet receives food. Such a game will entertain the cat, feed her and will not let her get bored in the absence of the owner.
It turns out that there are no downsides to car feeders, they greatly facilitate the care of pets.
