cat feeder

Automated kibble station

A cat feeder is a device that dispenses food for cats, typically on a timer or schedule: The automatic cat feeder keeps the cats fed while we're away for the weekend.

Simple versions are gravity-fed bowls that refill as cats eat; more sophisticated ones are programmable and may portion meals.

The term can also refer to a person who feeds cats, especially someone who cares for strays or ferals in a neighborhood.
