Most adult cats eat somewhere between a third of a cup and a full cup a day depending on size and activity, so a full hopper commonly covers a week or more for a single cat, and correspondingly less for two cats or a small dog. Portion sizes are set in the feeder’s own units rather than in cups, so the sensible approach is to dispense one portion manually, measure what lands in the bowl, and work backwards from your pet’s daily target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse it with dry kibble of a fairly uniform size — very large, very small or irregular pieces are more likely to jam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit the daily ration across several small meals rather than one large one to discourage gulping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop the hopper up before it empties so the stirrer always has food to move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCats who eat better from several small meals than one big bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners with long or unpredictable work days who cannot be home at feeding time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouseholds managing a cat’s weight with measured portions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly risers who would rather not be woken up for breakfast duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvernight trips and weekends away, paired with a large water source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants to see from their phone whether a meal actually went out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash the bowl every few days with warm water and mild dish soap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty and rinse the hopper and stirrer whenever you change food, and at least monthly otherwise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry every part thoroughly before reassembling — damp kibble sticks and clogs the outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not immerse or rinse the base, which houses the electronics.
