    An automatic food dispenser has been an absolute lifesaver. The cat still doesn’t get fed at 3:30 am, but he’s mostly learned the schedule and no longer sees us as a source of food. He still begs for the wet food, but he’s learned that schedule too.

    Being able to sleep again is great

      i just don’t feed my cats when they’re begging. they’ve taken to just quietly being near me when food time is coming. which isn’t that different from how they usually act. just slightly more tension.

      How long can you keep wet food in the feeder, when it’s so hot?

      Doesn’t it get bad?

      I’ve been told I’m lazy for having a auto feeder but this is exactly how I look at it. Before when I worked late and dinner was subsequently late they’d scarf it down and puke. They don’t do that anymore

      My dog protects my sleep.

      2 kitten boys who want to be played with and fed WHENEVER THE FUCK THEY PLEASE, but the big scary snore monster under the blankets keeps them away.

      I do not look forward to the day when they discover he is the snore monster, because they love their big funny looking cat brother otherwise.
