Why it matters
Cat Mate's feeder holds two meals in lidded compartments and opens each at its set time, up to 48 hours in advance. It takes wet or dry food, and a reusable ice pack keeps wet food cool.
It runs on batteries with no app or Wi-Fi, and its compact size fits most kitchens. Total capacity is 800 g.
