Power, Backup & Scheduling Flexibility
Multi‑cat homes often rely on a feeder as “core infrastructure,” so power and scheduling matter.
What to consider:
-
Dual power: Plug‑in power for everyday use plus battery backup so scheduled meals still happen during outages.
-
Schedule options: Enough meals per day to match your routine (e.g., 3–6 small meals), with adjustable times and portions.
-
Local schedule storage: A good feeder keeps following its last schedule even if the Wi‑Fi or app connection drops.
Why it matters:
-
For three cats, a missed meal or two can cause a lot of stress (and noise).
-
Robust scheduling and backup power protect you from small glitches turning into big problems.
