Furiosa's Cat Feeder (2016)
What a journey! My vet recommended more puzzle feeders and moving to get rid of the free dry food (I do wet food in morning/night), both to control how much the cat eats and to give them something to do. After all, in the wild food is not free, they have to hunt for it.One they recommended was something like [0] which is what I've been using. Works pretty well in that most of the time the cat knows he can't get food from me (though smart enough to know I fill them up and hide them). Adds a little game and great if you'll be out of the house for a while. So there's no longer a bowl for dry food at all, he has to "hunt" for his mice. Though I'm guilty of sometimes giving some bonus food, I think it is a helpful system. I think he'd be all over an autofeeder just like in this story (already have to hide the big dry food bag as he'll get into it).[0] https://docandphoebe.com/
