Auto Feeder

Does anyone know of a good auto wet food feeder?  I want to fed my kitty 3-4 times per day.  Can't go any where & leave food out because she eats it all at one time - no matter how much.

I like this one: http://store.petsafe.net/5-meal-timed-pet-feeder It's easy to program to any time you want up to 5 meals and is very quiet except for a brief whirr as the tray rotates.

There's a 2 compartment model but I don't recommend it at all. It's very noisy (constant ticking noise) that does not stop until you take the impossible to remove batteries out and it can only be set in approximate two hour increments with a manual dial timer. The lids just hover over the bowls so a cat can easily pry them off to get to the food.

Catmate has 3 feeders you could use.

bonepicker We have a Catmate that you can easily use with a gel pack to keep wet food fairly fresh for a few hours. A lot of "dry food feeders" have space under the tray(s) for small freezer packs; some even come with them.

. Thanks for the info!

Any of the feeders I had suggested can be used with canned food. Most people do use them for dry food but I know plenty of diabetic cat owners use these feeders to provide small canned meals for their cats throughout the day. I just put straight from the can food into the feeder but you could also freeze the canned food and put the frozen chunks into the feeder so they stay fresher longer. The Catmate feeders have an optional ice pack that you could buy and use. Canned food can be left out all day in a feeder. It may get dry but many cats are ok with that. If the temperature is hot (like in the summer) use ice packs to keep the food cool longer and/or place the feeder in a cool part of the house that hte cat has access tf course at the end of the day you should toss any uneeaten food and wash the tray/bowls.

Thanks everyone!  I ordered the Petmate 5.  Hasn't come yet but I will let your know how it works.
