Groupon microchip cat feeder
Using the SureFeed is basically a matter of filling it up with food and providing the cat you will be feeding with a proximity microchip for their collar.Īfter this, the feeder will open when they are close to it to give them access to the food and it will quickly close when they move away – keeping it safe from other cats until the microchipped kitty comes near it again. The SureFeed microchip feeder is among the most popular varieties for both efficacy and ease of use. This can keep other cats in the house from ‘bullying’ another cat and taking their food, helping to ensure that all of the cats are getting proper nutrition each day. This feeder will open when the cat is close and it senses the chip in their collar but more importantly, it will close when the cat leaves. How does a microchip cat feeder work?Ī microchip feeder basically provides your cat or cats with their own keys to a specific feeder.
The latter option is good for multi-cat households, where one cat might be missing out on feedings due to the other cats, as it allows them to approach the feeder on their own so that they can get their daily nutrition when they like.
Microchip feeders can be great! Depending on the model, you’ve got a few different features to choose from, such as scheduled feeding amounts at specific times or even a ‘proximity’ option where a specific cat can get close to a feeder and get an allotment of food. How long can you leave a cat with an automatic feeder?.How do you reset a microchip cat feeder?.How do I stop the dog from eating the cats food?.How do you keep cats from eating separate food?.Yes the batteries are pretty expensive but I am 3 weeks in and they have not yet run out and even if they have to be replaced frequently its cheaper and less stressful than me stepping in vomit in the middle the night or having to clean it up off the carpet/sofa/bed. We fell out about it a few times (aka I got scratched) and there was some growling and moaning and a few times I thought that she was never going to get it but patience is a virtue (especially for me). I left the flap up for about 10 days and then let her see the flap open as I put the biscuits into the feeder and closed it and then fussed her and encouraged her to get closer. It has taken my grazer about 3 weeks to get used to it but this morning I was delighted that she approached the feeder (still cautiously) and let herself into it to get her biscuits without me having to encourage her or leave biscuits on the mat to get her to come close to the feeder. NO more waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of a cat vomiting because I forgot to pick up the bowl that had biscuits left in it. This microchip feeder has changed my life. I have one cat who grazes, the other will eat EVERYTHING and then vomit it all back up again.
