Catit PIXI Smart Feeder 6 rations: variety is the taste

The line PIXI by Catit, our well-known specialist in cat products, has a new member in the family. It is the Smart Feeder 6 portions Catit PIXI. Easily recognizable by its usual adorable design that imitates the physiognomy of a cat (ears and whiskers included), this new feeder is here to make our pets’ diets more varied (and our lives a little easier, it must be said).

Characteristics of the Smart Feeder 6 portions Catit PIXI

On this occasion we find ourselves before a feeder that will offer us up to 6 servings of varied foods, allowing us to adapt the eating habits of the furry. However, this does not mean that the feeder needs to be refilled daily, as you can space these rations out over up to 4 days or so. Thus, for example, you can use this for specific rations of wet food, and combine it with the Smart Catit PIXI Feeder for dry food rations.

The Catit PIXI Smart Feeder 6 portions works like a kind of roulette with 6 spaces, in which you will be putting the portions of food you want, without fear of spoiling or, if it is summer, that they get hot, melt and even spoil This is thanks to two cold accumulators that the feeder includes under the food tray (which we must freeze previously), and that will allow us to store the food for longer. In addition, the assembly is very simple, and the food tray is removed to be able to wash it at the end of each cycle. You can wash it by hand or in the dishwasher.

One of these 6 holes will always be open in the “mouth” of the feeder, so if you fill it completely, you must bear in mind that one of the rations will be directly available to our pet. The rest of the rations will be hidden by the cat-shaped lid, so that no hungry michi will be able to steal food ahead of time.

The turning of the tray to leave the food available has a totally safe mechanism for cats that, in case of encountering any resistance, will stop turning. In this way you can be calm, since in no case will it damage the legs of our furry ones. Also, in case of obstruction, the tray will stop rotating and the app will send us a notification to let us know. After a 60 second pause, the feeder will try to turn again automatically.

A small downside of the device is that, as it is a tray that works horizontally, it is somewhat cumbersome and it can be a little more difficult to find its place at home if we compare it with the more compact feeder and smart fountain of the same range. .

The best companion for your food

As we have already mentioned with this type of device, one of the greatest advantages of distributing our cats’ food in several small meals is helping them with food anxiety and binge eating. By dividing their daily intake into several servings, we will ensure that they are more balanced and not so demanding. And, best of all, this will continue even if we’re not home.

As we have already seen in other products in the PIXI range, this smart feeder includes a rear compartment with backup batteries (not included) so that if, for example, there is a blackout, the device will continue to work without problems for up to 4 days. about.

Easily customize your meal plan

Both the meal plan and the schedules are customizable both through the app and through the touch control LCD screen.

This LCD touch control panel is one of the novelties of the Catit PIXI Smart Feeder 6 portions. We find it in the “nose” of our feeder, and it can be used to program meals or to instantly serve the next serving. Requires a touch pattern to unlock. Like the app, it is synchronized in real time with the feeder. In it, you can also see what time the next meal is served.

The app is the same one that we downloaded previously to manage the fountain and the feeder, and that unifies and makes the management of all Catit PIXI devices much easier. With it we can easily configure a 24-hour feeding plan for our cat, which will be repeated automatically every day.

Here, in the same way as we already discussed with the Catit PIXI Smart Feeder, we miss the option of establishing several different meal plans. This would be especially useful, for example, if we choose to combine both feeders, one with dry food and one with wet food and treats, and we want to alternate the proportion of food a bit. Again, this is something that is software controlled, so maybe it could be updated in the future.

With the app, you can access any of these feeder features remotely:

• Program the meal plan with up to 6 daily servings
• Instantly serve the food from the next compartment
• Check when scheduled meals will be served
• Enable sound alerts (optional)
• Share through the app. You can allow multiple people to control the feeder by logging in to their account on the app
• Receive notifications. They can be notice of food served or obstruction

Conclusions

The Catit PIXI Smart Feeder 6 portions is the perfect complement to give our cat a varied diet. Thanks to its rotating tray system, we can establish a program of varied rations, whether they are dry feed, wet food or sweets. The best way to maintain a balance in your diet, even if we spend a lot of time away from home. In addition, its original design combines perfectly with the rest of the devices in the PIXI range. You can find it in the Catit store for a price of €114.99.
