Automatic feeders & water fountains

Food and water are the two things that fail quietly. The bowl does not run empty so much as it gets boring, and the water does not disappear so much as it goes still, collects hair and stops being drunk. Neither failure announces itself — you find out afterwards.

The feeder holds two separate menus in two independent 4-litre reservoirs, each with its own outlet, its own portions, its own schedule. Everyday kibble on one side, something she loves on the other. If she turns her nose up at one, the second is already there. Up to ten small meals a day, an anti-jam mechanism on each side, and battery backup so a power cut does not skip a meal.

The fountain has no cable and no impeller. A motion sensor starts the flow when she walks up; the pump uses vacuum suction, so there is nothing for hair to wrap around and stall. It flushes itself every eight hours and runs 45 days or more on one charge, which means it lives where she likes to drink rather than where the socket happens to be.

Both are honest about their limits. The feeder is dry food only — kibble, freeze-dried, air-dried, nothing wet. And we make no claim that cats prefer running water: the evidence is thinner than the marketing. What the fountain reliably does is keep 3.5 litres clean, moving and available for two weeks.
