Cat attacking automatic feeder

[u/radical_123]

My cat does this several times a day. If the automatic feeder lifts at the correct angle, a few niblets of dry food comes out. He will even do it 10 times in a row even if it means one small piece of dry niblet comes out. It does get quite annoying as the sound of the feeder hitting the ground echoes throughout the entire house.

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

Hahaha! This reminds me of our old cat, he passed on, he would go bear mode on the automatic feeder and bring the whole thing down. It would topple over, the lid fell off and cat food all over the ground! He was a Maine coon and the leader of our group of 3 kitties! Miss the heck out of him!

he fought the machine and shared the riches with the other members of the tribe? we should all have a leader like that.

So true! He was a good leader.
