Hey all. Wondering if anyone has success with automatic feeders with 3 (or more) cats. For many years I have used an automatic feeder with my two girls and they did great with regulating themselves and taking turns eating until the bowl was empty. Then I went ahead and ruined their perfect harmony by foster-failing a young male kitten. I turned the automatic feeder off in case I wasn't home when it dispensed food, so right now the kitten gets locked in the bathroom with his kitten food and the girls get their share of food (still out of the auto feeder but I just manually dispense it). My kitten will need to be transitioned to the adult food that my girls are on in the next few months, but I'm worried that if I turn the auto feeder back on, then he'll hog the food and won't let the girls take turns like they're used to. Now, I know I can just suck it up and feed everyone separate like I've been doing, but I just love the convenience of the auto feeder for late work nights, traveling, etc. Just looking for thoughts, suggestions, so on! Thanks!
