3 weeks is too long a time for any cat (and what about water?)!! Please don't do that! You should only leave a cat alone for no more than 3 days. Then have someone check in and make sure the water bowl is cleaned and filled and the food dispensor is okay (it should not need to be changed too ofen). They also can check if the cat seems to be okay... not injured or sick. When I go on trips, I board my cat. I went around town and found the best place I could. It is not as expensive as boarding a dog, but we still budget for this cost. It is worth it to know he is cared for, is safe and gets attention (and they watch for any medical issues) 3 weeks is too long a time for any cat (and what about water?)!! Please don't do that!

I have the small pet food station and it will last for about 10 days for 12 lb. small dog, I am sure that the large version would last three weeks for your cat. If you have the time before you leave you should try to see how much the cat will eat in a week and go from there.

I have had mine about a month, so far has worked when we have been out of the house. I use it routinely every day, whether I am gone or not. That way I can see it works consistently and my cat is use to the routine of eating from it.

couple of days - I would rather buy an automatic, timed feeder. My cats are quite munchers, so it will only last one day. Besides, it only holds a little more than a cup, so if you have large-breed cats with a good appetite - better think about some other options.

Size. The Cat Mate is smaller and does not hold as much food. I have 3 cats and the Dog mate works better and will hold about 8 days food. One cat has figured out how to get snacks by hitting the spout with his paw. But only gets a couple of pieces. Won't work outside. I had a raccoon come through and he could reach up under the spout and trigger the food. Cleaned out a feeder in a few minutes.

For my 17lb male cat each tray lasts about 3 weeks. It is the best investment I have ever made as a cat owner!

I bought this for our two shihpoos (age 7 mos/8lbs. and 6 lbs.) They both can sit in it when taking them on short trips...vet/park/etc. BUT it would not be good on a long trip; which is really what I bought it for. I love how well made it is, and use it for short trips. We also have a 6 year old, 13 lb. ragdoll and she fits fine. I would guess it could accommodate two, maybe three adult cats. If I can help answer any more questions, I am happy to do that.

It's way too big for a cat - I would check and see if they have a smaller version. I would be worried they would hurt themselves trying to get the food out.

Go for the expanded capacity model and try it for at least a week with your kibble. Spherical definitely works better than triangular food. My cat loves his kibble, so this helps give him small amounts throughout the day.

there is certainly room to move in this carrier for my 16 lb, very long cat but it is tight. the mesh openings help so he does get air. I would say OK for a short flight.

Yes he would. But not for a very long trip. He can lay down comfortably but if you need to attach the food and water dish combo it gets a bit tide.... for him to turn around in it! My 12lb monster cat is very happy with it even on long trips - but he can turn easier than a short legged dog.... But it is perfect for a trip to the vet or a few hours on the road for a calm dog up to 15lb.

If you use an ice pack it will be good for as long as the ice lasts or packet remains cold. It isn't very air tight but it keeps my food obsessed cat in wet food for the overnight.

After reading the other responses, I will just add that this container will take the entire contents of a 3 pound bag of cat food. ... I should say Fancy Feast, anyway. It will take a whole bag of that without any leftover in the bag. That's why I bought it. I feel like it keeps the food fresher than leaving it in the bags, even the re-sealable ones. Although I can't be sure..not having done any taste testing of my own.. and my cats aren't talking, so I'm just going on my feelings with that one.

My cat an adult mackerel tabby fits in it fine, he had room to stretch out and sit up. He even pooped in it on the way home from the vets office. Since my use is for vet clinic runs, not extended travel, I'd probably get the next size up give your dog extra room so you could add bedding and such.

I have two cats and this thing is wonderful, we have been using it for over a year and it has been absolutely flawless. The bowl is big enough for two cats to have there heads down and eating. Depending on how much you feed your cats, you may have to feed them using multiple cycles, in the event that one cycle is not enough, it is for our cats, approx. 3 years old!

I don't think so.... I found it to bit a bit small for my 8 lb cat! For short trips, it would be OK, but not anything more than a trip to the vet. Because it's tall and not very wide, it just doesn't leave room for the animal to turn around, so I find it to be just too small.

So, new answer. I have been feeding this to y cats for several months. They range from 9 lbs to 12lbs and none of them eat more than 1/3 cup per meal. I am guessing that your would eat 2/3 cup per meal which would make this bag last about 5 days. You would feed 6.08 bags per month . $143 per month

Our big male "Precious" cat is the biggest and most spoiled cat (or one of them) in the world. This is the ONLY dry food he will eat!!! Of course, this is after he is playing his tricks to try and get "people" food (salman, tuna, etc.) He does know when "enough is enough" when we refuse to give in to him too much, and finally will go right to this one dry food--one big bowl will last him about 2-3 days, depending on how much we "fall for his tricks" and give in to him in small quantities--canned tune, salmon, etc. (people food). He is one smart, funny "fat cat". Good Luck! The bag does indicate it is from Pacoima, CA USA. Dick Van Patten donates to local animals charities. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. 1-800-829-4493 or www.naturalbalanceinc.com. This is not to say this food may not someday harm our cat (our previous cat died due to poison ingredients from a (reputation animal food chain--and a horrible death is all I care to say). We feed "Sammy" the best (or what we thought was the best recommended by our Trusted VET) but Sammy is gone. I ONLY CAN SAY THAT it is horrifying to see a beloved loved pet die slowly and you have no idea why--the vet's didn't know--until the news came out on the media. So, use your best judgment and research what your animal is eating. But, in all truth, we never know. It is heart-breaking. That is all I know; and probably only the ones who do the damage will ever know. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOUR PET AND YOURSELVES AS WELL. We can only do the best we can do!
