Default Mechanical dry food dispenser?
Does anyone know of or has anyone used a dry food dispenser that
drops one or two morsels at preset intervals?

It's no big deal, just wondering if anyone is familiar with that.

Thank you.

They make a big "tweety bird" kind...it's really just a pez dispenser

but you'd have to teach the cats how to pull the head back
and eat out of tweety birds mouth

here is link to it..

Personally, I'd be worried about the failure of such a device if I
wasn't there to look after it.

I'd have more confidence in a gravity feed system.

There is no reason for such a device to be hazardous to anything.

Some folks use such a device to provide food to a feline while they are
away for a period of time... if the device malfunctions the kitty goes
hungry. Cranky kitty may attack owner when they return home. :-D

Haven't ever used these, though.

It has nothing to do with shirking responsibility. It has to do with
proper feeding. Sometimes my cat eats too much at one sitting.
Sometimes it eats too fast. Ideally I think that providing a tiny
amount of food at frequent intervals would be the best way to feed.
I'm assuming a high quality dry food.

Apparently free-feeding isn't the best for a cat. I don't remember the
details, perhaps Phil can elaborate once again on this one.
