My cat screams at 5am for breakfast every day. Is an automatic feeder worth it?

Worked for us within about a week. she now sits in front of the feeder at 5am and ignores us completely

Worth it for us but they're not cheap. look for one that runs on batteries as backup in case of a power cut

good tip, ours skipped a meal once during an outage and we never heard the end of it

Try a bigger meal before bed too. vet suggested it and it helped calm the dawn yelling

Honestly it shifted ours from screaming at us to screaming at the machine. still loud but not my problem anymore
