VERDICT

Upon weighing our options with their respective advantages and disadvantages, it’s clear to see why cat experts and most veterinary professionals agree that scheduled feeding is the best method we can adopt for our Cats. As Cats thrive in routine and consistency, we are obliged to put in more effort. A schedule for our Cat means a schedule for us.

Cat are carnivores and are not designed by nature to graze and have a buffet all day. While it may be difficult at times, a good combination may work for some by using an automatic pet feeder that dispenses a small amount of food in between feedings.

It is, however, worth mentioning that multiple feline households require more than one automatic feeder. Hiring a pet sitter to feed our Cats on time is more beneficial instead of just leaving out large amounts of food, such as for days when we are on holiday or cannot be with them.
