Catit Pixi Vision Smart Feeder

Our family originally purchased the version without a camera, but when I saw the camera version, I had to have it. This has been a lifesaver in a busy household with two cats on a very specific diet with multiple daily feedings in small quantities. I love the ability to see the cats and TALK TO THEM. They look at the feeder insanely when I talk via the app. This is so convenient for traveling and minimizing requirements for the pet sitter. The app is easy to use - highly recommend this feeder. It's amazing! You won't regret this purchase!

I already owned the previous version of this feeder for two years. This new one goes above and beyond with the camera. Set up was very similar to the older one just had to add the SD card. My cats loved the previous one but took a few weeks getting used to the new one. I disabled the sound and LED but my daughter used the 1-way speaker to talk to them which scared them at first. They used to run away when they heard her voice but now they just look around trying to find her. Not a fan of the LED or the sound but the camera really gave me peace of mind while I was away for the holidays. Night vision is not great because my cats get too close to the sensor when they eat but it can be disabled. I positioned it so I could get a view of all the feeders and it was very helpful with setting the motion zones. My favorite feature is the log that lets you see the recordings after motion is detected because I was able to verify if each cat got enough foods and at what time they liked to eat. The live camera is also great because I was able to see if my cats were wasting foods or actually emptying the trays. Used those two features and the app to adjust their meal schedules accordingly. My cats still ate from the new feeder and all it just took about a week for my shiest to try it. After about two weeks they all finally accepted it and I was able to travel peacefully. Each feeder was able to feed one of my chunks for about 12 days!
