Adopted two cats and one has an eating disorder (always hungry, pukes after eating even when using the special bowl, etc.) so searched for a timed feeder.  This one is ideal.  Bought the splitter as well and tried several settings before finding what worked the best for my boys.  Having those options was great and it seems like this company thought of everything to make it easier.  The feeder keeps them on schedule even if I'm not at home.  I still had a cat sitter come to the house for water and litterbox, but I did not worry about both getting their share and there were few cat messes to deal with.  Many thanks!
