About this deal

Cat Proof– It doesn’t take much for most cats to break into a feeder but this one is as cat proof as they get. Our C500 5 Automatic Bowl Feeder allows you to set down a meal, with 4 more bowls hidden, to be presented at the time you choose I tried to set my new c500 before going away last week and gave up. Had to borrow a friend’s old and simple one. Depending on use, quality alkaline batteries should last about 12 months. A low battery indicator will alert you when it’s time to change batteries. Rechargeable and 1.5 v lithium batteries can be used but the low battery indicator will only work correctly with standard alkaline batteries.

This automatic cat dispenser uses a digital timer with a LCD display to program feedings. Although there are 5 serving compartments, a maximum of 4 feedings can be scheduled each day. The first meal compartment is uncovered and available immediately. All 4 programmed feeds are displayed on the LCD display so you can easily see the day’s feeding schedule.Before using this, I was getting up every 2 hours during the night to feed may 16 year old cat who has Kidney Disease. Now, I can set 4 feedings and he is good overnight and I get to sleep! :) The majority of users love the timer, praising it for it simplicity, but some (conversely) found it slightly too complicated. No consensus there, then, but it does appear to work reliably. The mechanics, perhaps not so much, again depending on who you ask. A few users have found their C500s went a little rogue, rotating the platters incessantly or misaligning the food trays; some of these tales sound like user error more than any great fault with the hardware, but they should offer something to think about if you're planning to use this to feed your cats while you're away for a little while.

I can't believe I'm getting this worked up over an automatic pet feeder. Maybe something should be changed about the scheduling if some people are having this hard of a time. Or maybe they just need to work on their reading and understanding skills. Material-Plastic. Five food compartments will serve up to five meals, one initial feed and four further timed feeds while you are away. Each holds 11. 5 ounces wet food. Eventually I managed to figure out how to program it with the help of my Spanish friend however I have not figured out how to stop it working when I'm home. Each and every day, at four separate times, the cats and I are startled when we hear the thing come alive and it starts spinning the carousel. I understand that if I take the batteries out, I will lose the programming and let's face it, it's not worth starting over so we live with the sound of the cat-feeder coming to life, four times a day. If someone knows how to stop this, please write it out clearly, as I'm at a complete loss. Easy-to-use digital timer allows you to programme up to four individual mealtimes with one bowl available immediately.

La Cat Mate C500 est un véritable atout pour tout propriétaire de chat ou de petit chien. Cette mangeoire automatique a grandement amélioré la vie de mon animal de compagnie et la mienne. Voici pourquoi je la recommande vivement : Mir war es sehr wichtig, dass der Futterautomat keine Plastischüsseln enthält und hier habe ich genau das Richtige für meine Katze gefunden. Der Automat lässt sich leicht einstellen. Dort kann ich bis zu 4 Uhrzeiten angeben, wenn meine Katze 4 Mahlzeiten am Tag essen soll. Die Kühlakkus sind auch sehr praktisch, da sie das Futter länger kalt halten. Ich hatte bis jetzt noch nicht getestet wie lange die Kälte hält aber wenn ich für 1.5 bis 2 Tage verreise, wird alles gegessen und meiner Katze geht es gut. Die Futterschüsseln waschen ich in der Spülmaschine und soweit sehen diese auch makellos aus. Ich würde nur empfehlen das Essen nicht in der Schüssel selbst zu zerkleinern, da der Löffel die Oberfläche kratzen kann. Please follow the safety instructions in the manual. You should supervise the first few feedings to make sure your cat will eat from it.

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. Designed to be tamper resistant to pets, the C500 may be easily fastened to a wooden board for extra stability, if required. This then made the feeder automatically feed at those times on both days; I don’t know if they just keep turning if you don’t turn it off, my sister has the 3 feeder and she says hers will just keep turning at the set times so need to turn off or remove batteries in between uses if only using occasionally.

The Cat Mate 500 is a carousel of delights for your cat. It utilizes a sectioned-off food dish, with space for five individual portions, which sits on a rotating mechanism underneath. When activated, the mechanism turns, revealing the next portion through the wedge-shaped hole on top. The observant among you will notice that this only actually leaves room for four covered portions, so the first feed of five has to be an immediate one. You can feel comfortable knowing your cat will be feed when you’re working late or need a weekend getaway. It can also help supplement pet sitters by reducing the number of times they need to come. After scheduling the feedings the feeder will keep repeating the same schedule, the same time every day. You don’t need to touch it again except for adding food or if you want to change the schedule.
