Same, especially because all the cats I’ve ever had have been unable to limit their feedings and get too fat if I free feed. The ones I have are hooked up to remotely switchable plugs that I automate with Home Assistant. Makes it easy to dial is food changes for my little void who is a growing pile of chaos.
All of the comments in this thread are why I have automated feeders.
Now I do not get woken up at 5am to the sound of crying that will continue for hours until food is served.
I have automatic feeders too, but my cats will just memorize the schedule and start waking me up 1-1.5 hours earlier anyway
