A simple (gravity-powered) cat feeder works perfectly well. Unlike dogs, cats are smart enough to eat only what they need. I have to refill the feeder for our 3 cats maybe once or twice a month.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
raw food. checkout primal if you just want something simple to start out.
You can get high quality grain-free dry "kibble" pet food. Just because it's kibble doesn't mean it's low quality or full of junk.
I've envisioned something similar, but for wet food (dry food is better for our convenience than it is for cat health in my experience). You'd fill a (washable and refrigerated) cylinder with wet food, which would be forced out a heated tip by a piston (sort of like squeezing a toothpaste tube). The refrigeration and heated tip are the complicating factors. The heated tip is used because cats don't tend to like cold…

I have one cat who is a reasonable free-feeder, and another cat who is a food beast and will devour everything in his grasp.
I backed a kickstarter for something like this, plus a wifi camera and laser pointer. It hasn't shipped yet, but does look like it might actually deliver (which is something for hardward KS). http://kittyo.com/
I actually own a petnet, but I wanted to see if I could build my own feeder in a simple enough way so people could adapt it and add modules on so it could be like kittyo or even like petnet, or whatever anyone wants.
cool. but I won't subject my cat to "kibble".
I'm not feeding them meow mix or friskies.
Very cool! I've had a Petnet (www.petnet.io) feeder for a few months now and I never want to go back. Dispensing small quantities multiple times a day has made my cats inhale-until-instant-vomit issues go completely away.
