Explore Multi-Pet Home & CleaningA full bowl doesn’t tell you
who ate the food.
Our automatic feeder kept food available. It couldn’t tell us how much each cat ate. That distinction shapes how we think about feeding products.
Find the right type of feederKeeping the bowl full is one task. Giving a slower eater a fair chance is another.
A more thoughtful shortlist.

Worth considering when a grazer needs access to their own bowl. Manually filled; not a timed dispenser.

Erbing 二饼
Slow to warm up, quick to claim a lap. Our former stray joined us in October 2022. She greets us at the door, naps by the window, and prefers to eat a little at a time.
Her mealtime challenge: keeping food available without Qitiao helping herself.
Qitiao 七条
First to hear the food, first to reach the bowl. Born in March 2023, Qitiao loves wand toys, nighttime zoomies, and a secret stash of little treasures under the couch.
Her mealtime habit: finish her portion, then investigate Erbing’s.
Liuyi 六一
A friendly red Shiba who loves meeting people and settling at our feet. Born in February 2019, he joined us on Children’s Day—June 1—which gave him his name.
His routine: two meals, morning and evening walks, then a paw wipe at the door.
Real moments with Erbing, Qitiao, and Liuyi, from our household photo archive.
