#Cheap microchip cat feeder update
UPDATE Februrary 2016: There is a stoneware oval bowl from Petrageous that fits well as a replacement for the original plastic bowl. I’m looking for a ceramic or stainless bowl in a similar size now to use until the company manufactures them for the feeder. The bowls are plastic, and I was a little disappointed that they aren’t ceramic. There is a rubber lip around the top edge of each bowl that meets the top of the feeder when it is closed to help keep food fresh. The bowl is nearly 5 x 7″ so it is plenty wide to avoid whisker stress. One bowl has a divider in it, and the other is a single compartment. The feeder also comes with a pair of bowls. The feeder ships with a tag you can put on your cat’s collar to serve as their personal identifier to the SureFeed if your cat isn’t microchipped. The SureFeed microchip feeder looks like something out of Star Trek, with angled plastic side pieces that support a bar that goes over the top of the cat, reading the cat’s microchip to see if he is permitted to eat there. The idea of having a cat bowl that only let Pierre eat from it and refused Ashton’s advances was very appealing!
So every meal meant someone had to stand over Pierre to protect his food from Ashton. Once Ashton had pushed Pierre off of his food, he was reluctant to start eating again for fear that she was going to ambush him again. She will hurriedly eat her own food, and then nudge Pierre out of the way to eat his meal.
Ever since Pierre decided he didn’t want to eat in the bathroom where he had eaten most of his life, we’ve had a problem: Ashton wants her food and his, too.
