Not only does it sound great, but it is loud,” raved a five-star reviewer. “I tried turning it up to see how loud it would get and stopped at halfway because it was blasting (and still perfectly clear).

If your cat decides that the only times she’s hungry is when you’re fast asleep, you’ll love this automatic feeder. The Roffie dispenses perfect portion sizes for felines (or pups, for that matter) keeping them on schedule and, ideally, out of your hair. It can hold up to 29 cups of dry food. When we get back to leaving the house for long stretches, you’ll really appreciate it. You never have to worry that your pets are starving, if you’re late getting home. You can even record a custom message that will play when it’s time for your pets to chow down. Best of all, the Roffie is on sale right now, down from $90 to just $60.

“This automatic cat feeder is heaven-sent,” one shopper reported. “First off, my cat isn't howling in my room for food at 4 am any longer because he knows that the food doesn't come from me anymore and he knows what time he can expect to be automatically fed. Second, the ability to portion size and set multiple times for feeding is so convenient.”
