 Cat Gets Early Breakfast; I Get A Full Night's SleepApr 15, 2009
By Satisfied Customer
Our 16-year old cat has recently decided that the proper time for breakfast is 4:00 a.m. He shares this conclusion with us by yowling rather loudly. As a consequence, we have had our nights cut short -- night after night. I searched the web for an automatic cat feeder and found several options. The reviews I read of them were mixed. Some purchasers loved the items they had bought; others found them to be poorly built and unreliable. It was with some apprehension that I ordered the Cat Mate C10.
It works wonderfully well. Powered by a AA battery (that, according to the directions, should last a year) it does exactly as advertised. To give it a test run, I set the timer for two hours. Two hours and two minutes later it opened. I'm amazed and delighted. So is our cat. This morning he was (a) fed and (b) quiet. Huzzah!

 Convenient but not perfectApr 19, 2011
By KittyLuv
I have been using the C10 and C20 cat mate timer dishes for years. It makes it very convenient to feed your cat a few meals at given times per day, especially in the middle of the night when my cat likes to wake me up for food. However, it is not perfect in that if it is within an hour of her feeding time, my cat can push the closed lid to the side and open it. So if you want the dish to open at very exact times, this is not the dish for you. If you don't mind if our cat can get to the food within an hour earlier, then it will work fine.
The other thing is that the dishes are plastic. Yes, they can come out and be washed in the dishwasher, but if your cat suffers from cat acne or conditions like Eosinophilic Granuloma (allergic skin condition), vets recommend that you feed cats from stainless steel or ceramic bowls only. This is because plastic scratches easily, and bacteria can get in the scratches that even a dishwasher cannot remove, thereby flaring up these skin conditions when your cat's face touches the surface as she eats. This is the only reason why I will have to stop using these dishes, unfortunately. I wish they made stainless steel bowl replacements. Otherwise, this is a great product.

Solves our problemJun 21, 2010
By N. Emens
Our cat was meowing at about 5am each morning to be fed (She's on a diet) and so we bought this dish to help out. It works great! I have already recommended this to other friends.

Simple Auto FeederAug 16, 2011
By Signum
I've had 2 of these auto feeders for over 3 months now, and this is exactly what I needed, for my two cats. I set it before I leave for work with some dry food in it, and if I get home late, they're fed for the night! I also have a water fountain feeder for them, so they're all set in case I'm late for dinner! I did not buy the cold pack accessory, but I'm thinking of trying it to use wet food with it. It takes AA batteries, and you can set it for anytime over a 24 hour period. My one cat is pretty clever, and tries to break into it when he hears me pour his dry food into it. The first few times I set it, I noticed his attempts, and stopped him. I have yet to come home to a disassembled unit :)
I would recommend that you try it out, and for the first time you set it, be home when it is set to open to make sure that you're cat doesn't break into it, and that it does in fact open. I havent had any problems with mine. In fact, it is very easy to clean as well, the white tray comes out for easy cleaning, and replacement. The only problem is that when they are not in use, you cannot close the lid without setting the time, and if you have batteries in it, that means it will pop open when the time is up. I don't close the lids when in storage, but this could be a problem for people with limited storage space.

Serves the purposeJul 13, 2010
By CG in CA
We purchased this inexpensive pet feeder for our Boxer who wanted to eat at 5:45 every morning. We reviewed all other dog food feeders with automatic timers but most reported that the food amount could vary, they were noisy and frankly for the idea of not having to get up early every morning I couldn't justify the expensive cost. When we found this cat food feeder, it seemed like it could work. It has worked but you do have to be mindfull of filling it on a daily basis and setting the timer ahead of time. We fill it and set the timer after her 5 PM feeding ready for the morning feeding. She has not bothered it as it sits full of food on the ground till morning but she is also a very obedient dog. She did need a couple sessions of training that I was no longer her conditioned response to receiving food in the morning. The battery seems to last about 3-4 weeks and sometimes the time is off about 30 minutes if the battery begins to go low. It works for us and it holds the 2 cups of food that she needs. Good luck in your search.
