Hi there! I've looked through a number of posts on the forums, and haven't found precisely what I'm looking for... if it is buried in there, I apologize for redundancy
I have two kittens, approximately 5 months old. Needless to say, they eat A LOT at this stage. We've been giving them a predominantly wet diet, with a small scoop of dry on occasion when they're left alone for more than a few hours, and after bedtime feeding to give them a free-feed snack while we're asleep.
Every morning they've been waking us up earlier and earlier with nipping our legs and toes, licking our faces, and endless cries.
I've tried all of the behavioral tips and tricks; not reinforcing their behavior, making them wait for morning feeding (this one is especially fun as they jump and claw their way up my legs to my shoulders...), attempting to switch to a dry AM feeding...
I'm ready to invest in an automatic feeder for the morning. I'd like to find one with the following features:
- multiple compartments that open at the same time (two cats), OR a large enough bowl (they don't mind sharing )
- ice pack to keep wet food fresh
Beyond that, I'm open to anything!
I know I can't be alone in this frustration. Thank you in advance!
