Excellent automatic feeder - works perfectly! This Cat Mate C500 has been brilliant for my cat's feeding routine. The timer function is reliable and the 5-bowl capacity gives great flexibility for portion control throughout the day. Build quality feels solid and it's been running without any issues.
