My cats were waking me up just a half-hour too early. So why not get a robot to feed them? It have worked beautifully. Firstly, my cats are satisfied with their robot servant. Secondly, I did not realize that I was in this unhealthy relationship with them about food - waiting on food, need food, make food, shuffle and tidy up food and just come in the kitchen and do something for me concerning food. Now  the robot feeds them, in nice portions throughout the day and in a measured amount that corresponds to the recommendation on the royal canin bag. Happy cats, happy cat-daddy, we play, snuggle enjoy and respect each other more because food has been removed from the equation. Hooray! two opportunities for improvement: the Alexa command is too long and cumbersome, can't it be customized "Feed Bugsy!". Rather than just have a feed a between meals snack option, have a feed the next meal early option - so as to maintain total diet amount correctly and not add to it.
