The Day My Cat Got an Automatic Feeder and Decided She Runs the House

 Okay, real talk: I used to think automatic pet feeders were a little over the top.

Then my cat woke me up at 5:42 AM… again.

And that was the day I ordered an automatic cat food dispenser—and possibly saved both my sleep schedule and my relationship.

Why I Gave in to the Machine

My cat, Mochi, is adorable. But she's also a furry alarm clock who has no respect for weekends. She demands food with the confidence of a royal, but apparently doesn’t understand that I, too, need rest.

So after yet another groggy morning of stepping on cat toys and muttering half-asleep apologies while filling her bowl, I gave up and went full tech.

One online order later (shoutout to Petsky), and a sleek little feeder arrived at my door with more buttons than my coffee maker.

My Cat’s Reaction? Suspicion, Then Love

At first, Mochi looked at it like it was a robot sent from space. But the moment it dispensed those first few crunchy nuggets—game over.

Now, she sits in front of it like it’s a TV. I caught her watching it before feeding time. Waiting. Plotting. Worshipping.

It’s mildly concerning, but also kind of genius.

Why It’s the Best Pet Purchase I’ve Made (So Far)

Since bringing in the auto-feeder, my life has changed:

  • No more early wake-ups (thank you, timer function!)

  • Portion control so she doesn’t overeat while I’m out

  • No more guilt if I’m home late from work or out for dinner

Also, it’s surprisingly clean. Way cleaner than my usual frantic-scoop-and-spill method.

What to Look for in a Cat Food Dispenser

If you're thinking of getting one, here’s what I’d recommend:

  • Portion control settings (so your pet doesn’t trick the machine)

  • Battery backup in case of power cuts

  • Easy-to-clean bowl (because dried kibble smells… special)

  • Quiet motor so your cat isn’t terrified of it

Trust me, not all automatic feeders are created equal.

Final Verdict: 10/10, Would Robot Again

If you’re still feeding your pet manually and losing sleep (or peace of mind), it might be time to upgrade. Let technology do the boring stuff so you can focus on the fun—like playing, cuddling, and watching your cat do weird things at 2 AM.

An automatic cat food dispenser isn’t just a gadget. It’s a lifestyle choice. A quiet rebellion against morning chaos.

And honestly? Mochi and I are better roommates because of it.
