Might Automatic Pet Feeders Turn Out To Be The Method To Tame Cats With Insatiable Appetites?
As almost all cat fanciers know, felines are exceptionally smart beasts. If you happen to have one or more cats that are very food motivated, you know how persistent and ingenuitive they can be concerning getting their next meal.
My wife and I are the owners of a couple of such felines. Not only do they manage to wake us up each day before 5:30am, but throughout the day when one or both is geared up to eat, that cat will begin to make mischief in the family home right up until they are both fed. They seem to coordinate this between the two. It can certainly drive a person mad.
Since quite a few cats thrive regulating their own food intake, quite a few cat owners just leave dry food out twenty four hours a day for their kitty. Our beasts, however, frequently eat way too much. We formerly made a point to leave surplus food out for them to eat throughout the day, but as they put on weight it became evident that we would need to stop if we wanted them to keep in good health.
For this reason we started browsing for an automatic pet feeder. We were betting that guiding the cats to respond to an automatic gizmo rather than pestering us would deliver the results and help to preserve our sanity and sleep times.
There are an assortment of automatic pet feeders on the market to pick from. There are choices from units that are battery powered and mechanical and prices vary from around $20 to over USD$100.
Our basic purchase, an economical device called "Slim Cat", surely is not self-regulating. It is a hollow clear lucite ball that you stock with dry food. It has openings that can be adjusted to size and allow the pieces of kibble to spill out as the cat plays with the ball. It has done the trick well to give our cats a lot of activity and enable them to lose a few pounds. But they nevertheless wake us up.
Our upcoming purchase will indeed need to be an automated system. Perhaps we will also go for a pet water fountain given that our objective is to keep our cats healthy along with preventing them from demanding to be fed.
