FAQs
How do I choose portions for weight control?
Use your vet’s target calorie total, divide by kibble kcal-per-cup, then translate to grams or the feeder’s portion units. Split into 3–4 meals to curb hunger spikes.
Will my picky cat accept an automatic cat feeder?
Most adapt within days. Start with familiar bowls, mix manual feedings with scheduled drops, and use small, frequent meals during the transition.
What if the power goes out?
Choose dual power. Battery backups maintain schedules and dispense meals until AC returns.
Does a WOPET water fountain really make a difference?
Yes. Flowing water attracts many cats, boosting intake and supporting urinary and kidney health. Filtered flow also improves taste and odor.
How often should I clean the feeder and fountain?
Rinse food bowls daily; deep-clean weekly. For fountains, replace filters as recommended and descale pumps monthly or per water hardness.
Is a wopet feeder noisy at night?
Modern units are quiet; schedule drops away from sleep hours or use smaller, gentler dispensing increments.
With consistent scheduling and smart hardware, you’ll support healthier habits—and enjoy a calmer, well-fed companion.
