An animal expert explains how automatic cat feeders work and why they help. The Catit Pixie Smart Feeder lets you schedule meals from your phone, keeps food fresh in an airtight container, and reduces stress for cats by maintaining consistent feeding times.
In general, cats are animals that are very susceptible to change. For this reason, when we have to be away for a few days, it is usually advisable to leave our feline in the safety of its home, always in the care of a trusted person. Likewise, if we have to spend hours away from home, our feline will not be able to eat until we arrive to fill its food bowl. In these cases, automatic feeders can be very useful as they allow us to feed our cat comfortably while we are away. But the truth is that this is not the only advantage they offer. In this video by an animal expert in collaboration with Catit, we will talk about the advantages of these feeders, how they work, and the new Catit Pixie Smart Feeder. Don't miss it how do automatic feeders work? Although each manufacturer offers specific features and in general they all have an airtight storage system to keep the dry food in perfect condition. Once the food has been added, the feeder must be programmed to indicate both the amount of food per serving and the number of daily servings. The Cadit Pixie Smart Feeder works via a mobile app, making it even easier to use. Using the app, you can program the number of meals per day and the time you want the feeder to deliver each serving. By default, the automatic feeder repeats the schedule every day indefinitely. However, everything can be adjusted and customized. You can also refill the bowl whenever you want and without having to be nearby by pressing the food dispense button before creating the feeding plan. We recommend that your cat already has a meal schedule as this will make it easier for them to get used to their new automatic feeder. If this is not the case for you, don't worry. You can set the schedule now by looking at the times of day when your cat usually eats. As for the number of daily servings, this will depend entirely on each cat. However, in general, these animals prefer to eat small amounts at least three to five times a day. In addition to how easy and convenient it is, we particularly like the Catit Pixi Smart Feeder for many other reasons. Using the app is very easy and it also shows us a real time summary of the meals served and those scheduled. When the food tank is below 10%, the app sends us a notification to let us know that it needs to be refilled. It allows us to share the device with other people, such as different members of the household or the person in charge of taking care of our cat in our absence. And if we have more than one catted Pixie device, we can control them all through the same app. The nose of the Catot Pixi Smart feeder can be activated or deactivated so that it offers a portion of food when pressed. If your cat is very smart, you can deactivate it from the catit Pixie app itself. The bowl is made of stainless steel and the bowl support is dishwasher safe. Now that we have seen how it works, let's look at the main advantages that automatic cat feeders offer us. First, it preserves food better by having an airtight storage system. The food stays in perfect condition for longer. Some, like the cat at Pixie, have a dehumidifying pad to keep the food always fresh. 2. It saves time by not having to manually refill your cat's food bowl, you save time that you can spend, for example, playing with them or petting them. If you still haven't discovered your cat's favorite areas, don't miss the video we've left for you here, above and in the information box about where to pet a cat. Plus, if your feline prefers to eat their last meal late at night or eat very early in the morning, you won't have to get up to feed them. 3. It helps us control the amount Especially for overweight cats, using an automatic feeder is really useful because it gives us total control over the daily food intake. We can set the amount based on our cat's needs without having to manually weigh each serving. 4. It allows us to set a strict schedule Cats are animals that love routine and as we've mentioned on several occasions, they tend to get stressed by changes. Therefore, establishing a feeding schedule will not only allow you to control the amount of food your cat eats, but but it also allows you to offer them a very regular routine. Due to our daily lives, we may not be able to strictly adhere to the established schedule offering our cat their food at different times each day. This can cause stress and anxiety in the feline. In addition, we will notice that Maya follows us and tries to get our attention so that we give them food. 5. It is ideal if we have to be away. Finally, whether we have to be away all day or if we have planned a short getaway if our cat stays at home, an automatic feeder gives us the peace of mind of knowing that they will have food for the whole day and that they will not eat it all at once. Of course, it is important to remember that it is essential that a trustworthy person is left in charge of our cat since it is not advisable for them to be left alone for so long. In the video that we have left for you above, we explain what a cat does when it is alone at home. Tell us, did you know about automatic feeders? Have you tried them? If not, you'll be encouraged to try them. We assure you that they are really useful. And if you choose one like the Catit Pixi Smart feeder. It's very easy and convenient to use.
