This was just before she jumped on Mitsy. They are together 24/7 now and I have no concerns anymore. She’s learnt the auto feeder too, handy for when we are away for a bit longer.

I trialled this one with Snowy and have now upgraded our other two auto feeders that were pre app/wifi days. The onboard timers were terrible on the old feeders, plus it’s great peace of mind that I can check I’ve set them appropriately and even add in extra feeds remotely. I also have a camera on all 3 so I check feeding time.


The water fountains have been a huge success too. They are drinking at last double the volume they did before them. It does mean I’m having to refresh the trays more often, but lovely to see them drinking lots of water.

I ended up getting this fountain (large volume, filters are cheap):

we've opted for this feeder https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C772HY4X/ref=twister_B0DK5GCXK4?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
and it works. I can get up and go to the kitchen not beeing meowed to death asking to be fed haha
thats for our ground bound cats - that are fat and can't jump high lol
other skinny 2 jump high up to their bowl

how's that water fountain ? and how long does the battery last ?

we dont have any sockets where current bowls are, so only option would be battery powered.

Mine ignored her water fountain when we had one. She also now ignores her actual water bowl. Instead she will only drink out of a human glass that we leave on the kitchen floor. She turns the glass around with her paw to make the water ripple, and then drinks from it. It was bizarre to see her first do that. In summer she will only drink from the watering can in the garden so we have to keep that clean and topped up.

She LOVES her heated under-blanket though.

My last cat would never drink water I gave him, chilled and filtered no less.

However, he would always go to my next door neighbour's mouldy, bracken filled water feature.

Cats, ya gotta luv 'em.

The water fountain has been great so far, I have two of them. Battery seems to last a good 4-5 weeks or so. You can get the filters from a third party. It’s easy enough to recharge, just pop the pump unit out and plug it in. It just took a few days for our cats to get used to it.

thanks, MIght give it a go
One cat will emotionally harrass anyone going past shower room - including visitors - to open the tap for her, so she can drink directly from the tap...
she will wake up when I go that direction and run in front of me there. Meows you to death lol
won't drink from bowls...must be runing watter ...
 
the cat we don't own and isn't ours will usually have a drink out of a bowl we leave out (it's for any garden wild life in the summer draught), but recently it's taken to drinking the spill from the pond that overflows the glass at the front sometimes. Classy.. probably tastes/smells of fish but at the same time I did put some fluke parasite treatment in just before.. so she probably has a reduced parasite load now lol.
 
I do have a reputation.. the mother-in-law's cat sees me as the Catnip dealer. I normally put a load in her scratch box house. She disappears for the night and looks like she's got a bit of a hangover the next day.. The not-ours-cat I put some catnip-infused treats out and I think it's the first time she's had catnip.. she had the look of "something's odd", then attack the lawn and insects, zoomies, then went to sleep it off.

Snowy is growing quickly.

She’s taken to having a nap on the sofa with us

I can’t believe how much she eats. A whole pack of wet food morning and night with multiple dry feedings in the day.

Dealing with a bit of the cat flu - started sneezing and a bit of a watery eye yesterday, so after last time with May got her in ASAP.

Thankfully just Metacam once a day in her food. Otherwise she seems fine, and no change in regards to sitting by the PetLibro...
