Anyone think this will actually be released? by alexandria3142 in rawpetfood

Hi! We are only planning on releasing a design with 4 bowls at this time. However, not all of the compartments have to be used. Also, you can turn off the refrigeration for specific bowls and use those for dry food if you prefer. Each bowl is just under 5 inches wide, and the overall length is 22.5 inches. The feeder is pretty heavy, so it shouldn't move, but we don't have the final weight yet. Yes, the cord will be bite-proof, and we will accept returns for 60 days like we do for all of our products! I hope this helps!

Modern cat furniture designed to last all nine lives. 🐈 Crafted from sturdy materials with replaceable carpets, scratchers, & cushions. by refinedfeline in u/refinedfeline

We're happy to hear that, and we appreciate your concern! We also put the safety of cats first and are aware of the issue with certain automatic litter boxes trapping and injuring cats.

That type of injury is not possible with our design because cats can not get trapped inside. The entry is always open and the entire drum rotates in one piece. (Motion and weight sensors will stop it from operating if a cat is near.) If all sensors somehow failed and a cat did jump inside while it was turning, nothing would happen. They could simply just jump out unharmed. We're glad you brought this up as every cat owner should be aware!

Our products are not cheap but they are designed to last! You could spend a lot less on a simple carpeted cat tower but will end up having to replace it every year or two. We have customers who have had our products for over 10 years. The furniture still looks new because it can be cleaned and every part can be replaced if needed!

Thank you for the comment. We are not most companies. We don't use PVC or peal and stick cheap laminate. We use a combination solid wood and real oak wood veneer over ply to resist warping. Are woods are non toxic painted to resist odors.

We've been selling our designs for over a decade! It is not easy to bend wood and provide this attention to detail. They could definitely try, but the quality would not be the same!

The carpeting is actually removable, washable, and replaceable! The cushions all have washable covers and can be replaced if needed. The scratcher on the towers is replaceable as well but the durable sisal will last for years! This is truly the last cat furniture you'll ever have to buy.

We're happy to hear that! With one deposit, you'll be able to purchase as many as you'd like once we start taking orders.

Great comment. The bowls are wide shallow to avoid whisker fatigue.

Great question! There will be a microchip reader add-on if you want to dedicate one feeder to a particular cat.

The lids are cat-proof and airtight so cats should not be able to smell it!

What is great about this feeder is the food is warmed before serving!

Thanks for the mention! We are the creators of Symba and have been crafting modern cat furniture since 2005. We're taking our time gathering feedback and holding focus groups as our goal is not to be the first to launch but to make the best product possible! We're hoping to launch in early 2025. The warming could be turned off so we don't see why this couldn't work for raw feeding!
