I have a cat that throws up all the time as well. We shred his food with a protein shake blender and add a little bit of water to soften it up…it’s alot easier on his stomach. Also, we feed him I/D, it’s a prescription diet, easy on the stomach. We also are purchasing this pet feeder to give him more smaller meals throughout the day so he doesn’t scarf his food when he does get fed and then throw it right back up!

Hope this helps.

Am having a problem with both cats throwing up their food shortly after eating. Have tried several different kinds, dry and can, Halo, Science Diet, Purina, health store brands. My cats are about eight and nine years old. Any suggestions?

My friend gave to me a gift - rock-n-roll cat feeder. I & my children were wery excited. But my 3 cats didn’t like it. Why? They couldn’t use it because it was too complicated or something. Also it took too much space and looks very ugly. Today I took it out on a sidewalk. Maybe someone will pick it up…
I came to conclusion - it is just waste. I didn’t buy it. But people who’s going to spend their BUCKS they will be very dissapointed.

Look what I’m talking about:

Would you consider reviewing the Doody Dangler.
I have been walking my dog for years. This is an ingenious product that works great!

We purchased this automatic pet feeder for our two cats several weeks ago and are in love with it. The quality is superb. I don’t see a problem with the battery being NiCad as it remains fully charged and is only used if the power goes out, which I really like since it happens here every once in awhile. Plus NiCads are recyclable. It’s just so nice to be able to feed our cats throughout the day without resorting to free-feeding. Before, I think ours cats saw us as a big bag of food, and now it’s more relaxed around here.

Looks impressive, but I’ll stick to the Pet Mate feeder. Lots cheaper and can use with or without ice packs. Don’t know where it’s made though. I’d be willing to pay a bit more for items made in a pet and people friendly country.

So can we trade our first born for this? just kidding

Wow, that is expensive. But I’m impressed it is made here in the U.S. even if it has some parts made elsewhere.

I don’t think I would want to give up the bonding time with my pet at meal time.

I wonder about whether the unit is subject to jamming up depending upon the kibble size and if there was any foreign objects in the kibble (think metal or plastic pieces that the owner missed in the bag, which would matter if the unit is unattended with the owner away)?

It would be better if the unit had a NiMh or a Lithium ion battery pack instead of NiCad due to that type having a recharge “memory.” Their 2 years later replacement service on the battery pack is a great idea given some owners are likely to use this instead of a pet sitter. 3 years or so later, if an aged battery doesn’t hold a good charge, and something causes a home power failure, then the pet might not be fed while the owners are out of town…

Cats shouldn’t eat kibble anyways.

I don’t feel that ads for grossly overpriced products have a place on this list, or any ad for that matter.

A Petfeeder. Cool. So what’s to stop my cat from bugging me for more food if the feeder doesn’t put out enough in his opinion? My cat has special needs, he has to support almost 19 pounds. If his food is restricted he either bugs me at any time of the day or night, or goes out to catch his own dinner (squirrel-sized snacks).
