Question: My cat started waking me up at 5 am

Listen, my cat recently started waking me up at 5am because of food, I'm going crazy. I decided to try an automatic feeder so that she could figure it out herself. What do you think I should pay attention to in order to choose a normal one and not have to suffer with it later?

I also read about these automatic feeders while you were asking - it became really interesting! Everyone writes different things, but in general the advice is useful. Someone is for WOPET, that it is simple and quiet, others are harping on about batteries so that the light does not fail. This topic with stability hooked me - my cat will definitely sweep everything away with her paw if it is shaky. Have you already chosen something or are you still thinking? I am still thinking, but I am leaning towards the one with small portions and not loud - my cat also screams in the morning, he has no strength.

I understand you, cats at 5 am are a real nightmare, like an alarm clock with claws. An automatic feeder is a great idea so that she can be her own boss. Get an automatic cat feeder that doesn't make a loud noise, otherwise, the cat will start to get scared by the buzzing, that's what happened to me, I barely got her used to it. Make sure that the portions are small, cats are picky, and the timer is precise, not 5. It's better to have a sealed compartment so that the food doesn't evaporate, and check once a week to make sure it's not clogged.
