Automatic cat feeders can come in one of two designs. The first have a pre-measured reservoir of food that will release at a specific time for your cat. You can decide the size of the serving the cat needs and set the timer for the mealtime you will be missing. When the clock strikes the time, the holding bin will release, pouring the food into your cats bowl.
