1 / 7Cat Mate C100 Single-Meal Automatic Pet Feeder, Model 405
Model: Cat Mate C100 is a single-meal automatic feeder for cats and small dogs, with a timer that can be set to open up to 24 hours later. Its 400g bowl suits one planned feed, while battery power and a dishwasher-safe removable bowl and lid add practical flexibility. The listing says no ice pack is included, so buyers seeking chilled food storage should account for that.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A straightforward single-meal setup can suit feeding a cat or small dog while the owner is away for part of a day.
- The stated 400g capacity provides room for a sizeable portion, although actual food mass depends on the food used.
- Dishwasher-safe removable parts simplify routine cleaning if the care claim applies to the selected unit.
Cons
- A single bowl provides one scheduled meal rather than a sequence of multiple meals.
- The required AA battery is not included, so the feeder needs a separately supplied battery before use.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title specifies no ice pack, while customer feedback mentions ice-pack cooling. This listing does not substantiate an included ice pack, so do not rely on chilled-food performance for this package. The approximately 12-month battery duration and timer behaviour are listing claims, not guarantees, and feedback on timer performance and control is negative.

Customer feedback is generally favourable overall, with customers reporting that the feeder works well for kittens and some appreciating its price.

This matters because the feeder relies on its timer to release one meal, while the listing does not include an ice pack and requires a working AA battery.

Negative themes
