This automatic feeder has so many features that I love. It is perfect for my cat when I go on vacation. I can set it for daily feedings so I don't have to worry about my cat overeating. I also love that I can connect it directly to my wifi and my cell phone AND to Alexa. You also can program it to release a small amount of food very few minutes so your pet doesn't overeat or eat too fast. I love it!
