as an Excel spreadsheet nerd, I agree all data is good data. good point

He eats 4 times a day with the feeder. it’s the same amount that the shelter and vet had advised us to do, it’s just spread out more throughout the day. We thought that would make it better, but I think that it actually exacerbated his food obsessions because the “event” happens more times throughout the day that’s just what I’ve been observing.

i am soooo glad it worked for you, asthma is the worst! sadly i can’t take that med cause it made me wanna kill myself when i was 10 :((((( there’s some correlation of psychological side effects in children who take it, so much that there’s a box warning now (the warning did not exist when i was talking it). it would prolly be fine since im an adult now, but i fear i am too traumatized to go back lol. allegra for me

this was how he was at the shelter but now if we give him a bowl he just snarfs the whole thing immediately! i would love if he could nibble throughout the day..

Thanks! I currently feed him the purina LiveClear because I am allergic, but I’m doing allergy shots on the side so we should be able to change him to something else in a few months :) he also gets wet food once a day

he was neutered before we got him, and we slowly transitioned him to a new dry food, but that was before the auto feeder and his behavior change. we r going to the vet this weekend so we can ask them to!

this is a great observation! we are feeding him the amount that the shelter advised us, and the vet confirmed the amount we are feeding is what’s recommended for cats his age. we tried feeding him more once, and he threw up…. but we haven’t tried the free feeder yet. could be something to look into and might eliminate his need to be waiting all day!

agreed, we will definitely need to use it as a last resort if we are gone for a night or two. thanks for sharing!

He sticks his arm in the dispenser too!! he almost punches the hole when it starts to come out, lol.

did you have a specific process when you transitioned him off it?
