These cat mate feeders work really well for the most part. They’re easy to program and work reliably on AA batteries. I like that you can use the freezer packs to serve wet food although I probably wouldn’t do that if I was planning on being gone more than a day. Even my smart 5 year old cat can’t get them open, and he has definitely tried.
One of these feeders had a button sensor quit working on the control pad and I’m not sure how to fix it without opening it up. It’s only one out of the six so I doubt it’s an issue with the design or anything. I didn’t check to see if that’s a common issue, though, and if I manage to figure out how to fix it, I’ll update here.
I do wish there was a multipack of these so I could get a few more to space out feedings, since this is the only feeder model of the billion I own that I’m reliably sure feeds my cats on time and is the only one that works with wet food.
The Cat Mate has been terrific. It was pretty easy to set up using the included instruction manual. He ate out of it from the get-go and now knows to check it at night when he gets hungry. I put the cold packs back in the freezer each morning and they are ready to go again by bedtime. The food compartment is very easy to clean. I think it can probably go in the dishwasher, but it’s easier for me to wash it in the sink with soap and water and let it dry.
I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I am happy to give this product 5 stars. It is a bit expensive, but worth every penny and I am so glad that I gave it a try. My sleep is much improved and my kitty can enjoy the rest of his life (for however long that is…😔) with nighttime snacks.
The unit is comprised of (i) a base that the freezer packs are inserted into, (ii) a bowl/plate that has 5 numbered compartments (numbered 0-4), which you lay on the base so that the compartment numbers on the bowl/plate match up with the corresponding numbers on the base, and (iii) a lid that has a hole cut out of it for one compartment only. The first compartment (number 0) is exposed, which you can consider the "starter" compartment (leaving it empty, or filling it with food if you want to); the other 4 compartments are covered by the lid. You can set the timer for one, two, three, or four compartments. It remembers your programs, so you don't have to reset again, or you can remove a timer (not using that compartment) or adjust a compartment's timer very easily. When the programmed time arrives, the bowl/plate rotates inside and exposes its corresponding compartment and your pet can eat the food from it. There is not a bell or an alarm. The pet hears the unit begin to rotate. They get used to the sound in a couple days, and then the rotating sound trains them that it's chow time. It's very simple and works great.
However, for wet food, this unit is good up to about 5 hours as that's about as long as the thin freezer packs will keep the food cool (this review is written during the winter - I suspect the freezer packs will last a shorter time during summer months). Because I don't trust wet food sitting at room temperate for hours, I end up only using one or two of the compartments. For example, if I want to leave my house at noon and come home at 9pm, that means I can program feedings until only about 5pm, and as a result the cats don't get fed from about 5pm until I get home at 9pm. It is better to have one or two feedings while I'm out than none though. If you feed your pet a combo of wet and dry food, the unit will be great for you because you can give them one or two wet feedings at the beginning and then follow with dry feedings and not have to worry about bacteria.
The rest of this review is in regards to cats only:
Initially, the cats are startled by the unit moving, and are, of course, curious cats but not sure what to do with the thing. If they don't get it, just kind of put their face by the food compartment and they'll realize it's food and eat up.
They can smell the food in the other unexposed compartments and if they want it, they will try to get it - although they cannot break into the unit. One very determined kitty did scratch up the lid trying though - luckily, this is good, thick, quality plastic so their efforts were in vain other than cosmetically damaging the unit.
The cat's head kind goes into the compartment when they eat, and their whiskers will smush against the sides of the compartment. Although the compartments are very easy to wash, there's a bit of a design flaw - the bottom edges of the compartments are too right-angled and food gets pushed up to the edges and is hard for the cats to get at. It would be better if the compartments were designed with scooped edges. So the cats end up eating as much as they can get to, and then literally have to walk around the unit to eat more, then walk around the unit again to eat more - so they have to "work" for their food. If they don't want to work so hard, there ends up being uneaten food at the edges.
I don't see what happens because I'm gone, but a few times the unit was moved a few feet away from where I placed it. I don't know if one of my cats is trying hard to get to the other compartment's foods before it's time, or if the unit is getting pushed around while they are trying hard to eat the food from the bottom edges. The unit has never been tipped over though.
Overall, this is a great unit and I recommend it.
Highly recommend the 3 meal size if you have less than 3 cats. I also purchased two so they don’t fight over who’s eating first..definitely recommend for people who struggle to remember feeding times or you like to keep your space clean (cause cats do NOT care).
I won’t take off any stars but that might be because I don’t find the smallest thing possible to complain about, the price is reasonable, and I seem to understand you’re not going to get every little feature you desire…all in all don’t be afraid to pick one up!! I wish I knew about this earlier to be honest.
Top reviews from other countries
Update: Raising my review to 5 stars... I have been using this almost every night overnight, lately, and also when I go out for a day and it's just brilliant. Such a great purchase! It'll also be good for her cat-sitter to use when needed. Also, once, it rotated with the top off and got misaligned, but it was easy to fix by pressing adjust plus the up button simultaneously and holding. I see online that there's a stainless steel food dish insert (instead of plastic) available on the product website... Would be awesome to have this available on Amazon!
Inoltre è utilissimo se prevedi di stare fuori una giornata
Ideal pour partir en WE, le chat est autonome pour 3 jours. Pour la pâté, sous la gamelle, il y a un pain de glace. Perso, mon chat ne mange que des croquettes.
