I hope to use this with a Cat feeder. Can I set it for different times on different days? ie) 7am, 2PM, 9pm (Mon-Wed) and just 7am & 9pm (Thur-Fri)

Yes you can set different times for different days. I do that for a indoor lamp in living room now.

Hold down program button. It will cycle thru 6 different feeding times. It can be set for each day or the entire week. Then program the amount of time.

Yes, you can set 4 different time periods each day -- they can be the same every day or different each day..Very flexible.

If your timer does not have a battery back-up, then you would need to program the correct time again. The feeder will still feed once the power comes back on, it will just feed at a different time but the same amount as you set.

It's 4 sections so you could do 4 days if that's what you wanted to do or you could do 4 times a day. You set the schedule. However my cat, who isn't the smartest, figured out how to get the fourth door open because it's just a little sliding piece. They Make A 6 Tray one. I recommend that one, but over all I love this thing. If it broke tomorrow, I'd buy a new one instantly.

There's more than one mode, the one your looking for is "cat activation" but it's also based on a timer,.. so if you set it for the sleep mode at 1am, the it allows x hours before it will run again, or it allows x hours till it sleeps ( I think it's 10?) so in that case it would only *not* run from 1am-11am. Call in, their phone support is super helpful and they'll walk you through it.

no!so there is only one timing wheel for the 5-meal feeder, and you have little tabs that you can set to feed. unfortunately, the closest the machine will allow you to set the tabs is 4-hours (give or take half an hour)if you want shorter intervals, go with the two meal feeder

Yes, this unit must be plugged into a timer and you can use any timer you'd like. A $5 cheap mechanical timer was included with my feeder and it's still working fine.

We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often. We set the feeder to deliver food once an hour in very small quantities. The timer allows you to dispense food as often as every 15 minutes for the full 24 hr day. We dispensed at 1x per hour. The feeder is also adjustable to allow for different size dry pellets but not sure if a tablespoon quantitiy could be dropped, but we drop very small quantities. If you decide to purchase, I would look at the digital timer instead of the analog mechanical one as that part was the only negative issue we have experienced. The sales folks at Superfeeder were also very helpful so I would contact them too with any questions. We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often.

It definitely depends on your cats -- how big they are, how much they eat, how persistent they might be with this kind of feeder(!). Also how they behave while you're away -- whether they tend to eat more or 'go off their feed.' Some cats tend to sleep more & eat less when there's not much going on. I'd say it might be kind of borderline as to whether this feeder could hold enough for more than one cat for several days, but you'd be the best judge, depending on your own cats.

This feeder allows you to schedule up to 4 daily feedings. Once you have set the number of times that you would like your cat fed, you then choose the times that you would like the feedings to occur. I originally purchased this to regulate my kitten's food, but he's such a glutton now that he's older, I've yet to go back to leaving food out for grazing. Once it's set to the appropriate measurement and time, it's pretty much no-hassle.

Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day. I use the large turtle sticks and they fit through the feeding hole. I have had the same batteries in it for over a year. I purchased it for when we were going on vacation and I am still using it. Just put a good set of batteries in it and set the timer to your desired intervals. Remember to check the amount of food distributed before you "set it and forget it"...put the big button and let it turn and drop the food in before you walk away. This way, you know how much your turtle will get at each feeding from the feeder. On average, my feeder, with a twice daily feed, it lasts a few weeks, sometimes a month, depending on how much food you have drop. Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day.

The photo doesn't look like the feeder I have (I have a Cat Mate C20). I have a 2 meal variety with 2 independent timers, so they could be set to open anywhere between 0.5 and 47.5 hours apart, if you want. The model I have doesn't close access to the first meal when the second one opens. The one pictured (Cat Mate C50) looks like it's a single timer and access to one meal at a time. For C50 review, you may find this link helpful (4 hr. min between meals)... http://www.catfooddispensersreviews.com/cat-mate-c50/

I love my cat mate. You can adjust the number of "servings" it dispenses. One serving is about an 1/8 cup. So approximately 3 servings would be 1/3 cup. Then you can set it to feed all at once, or multiple times in a day. I did have to make a screen to go around the dispenser spout to prevent my kitten from digging food out. And once you have it set up, it is easy to change the settings.

yes, yes, and yes. I love the product and use it 24/7/365 so our cat has a schedule of when he is fed. He is on a diet so he is fed 4 small meals a day instead of 1 or two large ones. bonus is the people at super feeder are really nice so if you have any problems outside of their demo videos, just call or email them and they will get back to you.
