Not technically about nutrition itself but related! We're looking into getting timed feeders for our cats, both for when we go out of town and also because there will be days later in the year where there won't be a human home for 12 or more hours for them to get their typical 3 meals a day. So the plan is for those times to have 2 of their 3 meals come from timed feeders.
Most of our cats it won't matter as much the specific design of the feeder but we do have one cat who is extremely intelligent and extremely food motivated. He can get into drawers (both by sliding them open and by approaching them from the cabinet and reaching in.) He will knock over containers and spill the contents out. Heck he even has chewed through blister packs to steal probiotic pills. So we need something that is nearly impossible for a cat to get into or knock over, won't jam up if a paw is stuck up the shoot, etc. Ideally with a stainless steel bowl, but this is lower priority.
Anyone have experience with extra determined, food motivated kitties who have found a great timed feeder they can't get into?
