Its dishwasher-safe bowls and quartz timer make feeding your pet effortless and reliable, perfect for busy professionals who want to ensure their pets are nourished on time, every time.

## Description

Whether working late or away for a weekend, the Cat Mate C50 Automatic Pet Feeder ensures fresh meals will be reliably served at the correct time, automatically. Food is kept fresh in five easy-clean compartments by a rotating lid and refrigerated by twin icepacks. Just set the battery-operated timer to the required meal times. Steps to correcting common set up errors: 1. Once the battery is installed the black switch must be moved to start. 2. The current time must be set in the today sector of the timer dial (area shaded in red). 3. The first meal (red tab white triangle) must be set a minimum of four hours from the current time. 4. The second meal will be a minimum of six hours from the first. 5. Once all of the desired meal times are set the lid must be placed on the unit and then turned counter clockwise to bowl “0”.

Review: Great Wet Food One Day, Multi-Meal Automatic Feeder - My cat suffers from Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) and is unfortunately also toothless, both of which are due to his tough life prior to when I adopted him. Being that he is toothless, wet food is easiest for him to eat. Additionally, with the IBD, I have found he seems to do better when fed multiple small meals throughout the day. I work full time and I felt that this feeder would be a huge help. After more than a week of use, I am very happy with the product. That said, there are some things you might want to consider/know. The product itself is very large due to the 5 feeding compartments, each looks to be designed to hold more than a 5.5 oz can of of food. I would estimate that each compartment could hold about 8 oz. While it has 5 containers, it only has 4 time indicators which trigger the lid to slide clockwise to reveal new food. This means that the 5th compartment is for immediate feeding. The freezer blocks work well for keeping the food cool and fresh while I am at work. However, just like they keep your lunch cool and fresh, they are usually unfrozen by the time you get off work. That being said, this product is not suitable for keeping wet food fresh for four days. Given what I have said, this is a great one day, multi-meal automatic feeder for wet food This is only a great multi-day, once a day feeder for dry food. I have added pictures for you to get an idea of the size.
Review: Works better than expected - After scouring the web for wet food automatic cat feeders, I settled on this one because it seemed the most functional. Surprisingly, it works with wet food (the rotating lid keeps enough of a seal to prevent food from drying out), and is not all that difficult to set up. Using the ice packs in the base certainly helps, and is a nice feature. My only complaints about this product are: 1) It is made out of cheap plastic and feels flimsy when you are setting it up (I'm sure if my cat were motivated enough, he could break into it and get all the food he wanted). Mine actually broke when I first opened it up, and it took some creative fixing to get it working again (even though I hadn't even used it yet!). 2) The timer is designed more for dry food that can be left over several days, therefore the timer does not allow for shorter periods between feedings for a single day (minimum of 6 hours between feedings). 3) There is no battery cover, so I'm always checking to make sure the battery hasn't come loose and that it won't work during the day when I'm gone. Otherwise, it works as advertised and seems to be a reasonable solution to the "wet food dilemma" that most cat owners seem to have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Third time around ...
*by F***R on February 6, 2011*

This is our third feeder. The first one lasted about 5 years, the second one didn't even last quite a year. I'm hoping this one lasts better. All of a sudden they stop working. This last one I tried two different new batteries from two different packs and nothing. :( The feeder is fairly expensive so I wish they had a better track record. Unfortunately we don't have many options. Our cat needs to have very small portions 5 to 6 times a day. I've looked and looked and this feeder is about as good as it gets, but that isn't saying much. Update: January 26, 2012 I added an extra star. This latest unit seems to be working well. The manufacturer seems to have made small changes. This is both good and bad. Because we have bought several units over the years, I saved certain pieces. The lid, the cap that covers the timer, the bottom; depending on what stopped working. I had tried to put one lid on another bottom and saw that minor changes made this not workable. :( In the lid there is a place where you pinch two pieces of plastic together to get the lid to come off. There is a piece of metal in there that when squeezed, allows the lid to be removed. The last unit this was nearly impossible to do, so I removed the metal and it worked fine after that. In fact, this was a major issue with the second unit, which I bought off ebay and the seller never responded back to my inquiries. The lid cracked when I kept trying to remove it. But, I had the lid from the first unit so all was not lost. All in all it is worth it, compared to how expensive some other feeders are.
