Automatic pet feeder

[buffy2]

Hi all
Has any one used a automatic pet feeder??,it is for 2 cats ,has my parents are off on hol for a month and i am going to have a problem getting there on some mornings,
So some questions.

did it work?
how long did it take for pet to get use to it??,i must add my parents cats are thick and one has only one eye and hasn't got much eye sight in the remaining eye.
Is it easy to clean?
Does it keep the food fresh.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, 48 hours, they were fine with it the first time I tried it (they do love food though!) Yes easy to clean, mine has an ice pack underneath to help keep food fresh, some don't though. Not cheap though £25 eek!

Haven't used one, only wanted to say that as long as he/she's interested in food and you can put it where (or at least nearby) their usual feed-bowl stands/they're used to be fed, I wouldn't worry to much. Cat's can be very good at making us do things the way they want them to though...
