Our cat only eats room temp wet food. Is there any way to control the temp of the food?

Not really....food would go in feeder...either frozen, refrigerated, or room temp.....you can use the freezer packs to preserve it for hours or about one day....day & half, max.

no, but the tiny cooler pack that comes with it gets warm fairly quickly. Just in several hours....so if the timer is set for 4-8 hours or more, the food will not be very cold by then

That isn't really a problem if you set the timer ahead a bit so that the food gets warmer. The ice pack doesn't do much other than slightly chill the food. Not like a fridge. My girl is fussy too. I'd give you mine : ) because it turns out that this cat cannot be left on her own. She's like a dog!

The only way would be not to put the ice pack in the bottom of the feeder, if you don't live in a warm climate it would probably be ok for a few hours. Or depending on how long the food will sit in there, time it so by the time your cat eats it the refrigerated food would return to room temperature. I try to keep the food cool, I'm afraid of food poisoning for the cat if the food sits out warm too long.

What is dispensed is determined by how much the animal eats. There is no timer on this inexpensive model. In our case, we have two cats.I do not see that you can control the amount of food eaten each day unless only put out a certain amount. Don't need this to do that.

I'm a longtime customer of Wellness wet catfood. It requires refrigeration after opening. I nuke the food for 10 seconds in the cat bowl then return unused portion in the can (covered w/plastic lid) to the refrigerator. My cat loves this brand. And loves it warm, not cold.

Unable to determine, as the temp is controlled by the temp of the food, try calling the company

I held off feeding my outdoor cat and then I put a small bowl of wet food inside the tube one time to introduce the Tube. Putting the food right near the door is also a good idea. He will go in as soon as it is cold enough unless he has a warmer place to sleep somewhere else. You didn't mention if you have blankets or straw in the Tube. Your cat may not like blankets and prefer straw.

Hi Patriot1, thanks for your message. Yes you can set your specific temperature. By going to "set" you choose any meat and then choose "My custom". Click "my custom" again and choose your temp by scrolling in the bottom of the screen. When done so, remember to press "done" and then "set and exit". This should solve your problem with the custom settings.

The cat house has two wooden posts that run along the whole length of the house (about 2" ) I wouldn't put water in the house. If it's heated, you shouldn't worry about that. What I did with her food, I put it in a microwaveable bowl, nuked it for 30 seconds, and placed towards the other end of the house. The straw inside helped to retain the heat, and she stayed nice and warm all night long. The bottom is slightly curved.

No, there is no way to control the temperature of the ZappBug Heater. Once the heating unit is on it will remain on and constantly outputting the same amount of heat. We do include a thermometer with a wireless probe so you can monitor the temperature of the items being treated but there is no manual control of the temperature. We hope this answers your question! -ZappBug

My 2 cats eat about 1/2 can a day along with dry food, so I do use a plastic lid and store in the frig. They eat it room temperate or cold right out of the frig. I can say one of my cats had chronic diarrhea until I switched him to Wellness. It took about 2 weeks to clear up, but no problems since.

yes you can set it to a different temperature. I think it just broils though ... used it for Thanksgiving to keep rolls warm.

No, my K&H; Thermo-Kitty heated cat beds do not have a temperature settings. I leave both of mine plugged in and on all the time. . . year round. I cannot feel the heat unless I rest my hand on the bed for several seconds. The weight of the cat is enough so that the heat from the heating pad inside the cat bed seeps out to heat where the kitty sits on the cat bed. The cats LOVE the heated cat beds.

I do the same thing for my cats. They don;t like it on high and I generally just leave all three on low all winter.

Our cat could sucessfully do that with the previous feeders but not with the Pet Feedster. Our cat has tried but no luck, I think he has given up trying and just patiently waits for his food.

my cat actually learned to eat out of the top of it, so what I did was placed his old bowl which was heavy ceramic on the top and that can both weigh it down and keep the kitty from eating out of the top of it, hope that helps

Basically I just put a pinch on the floor and cats either eat some of it or sometimes they roll around in it. Either way they end up a little "cat drunk." If you have several cats, makes sure each gets a little pinch so they don't get jealous. I've also mixed a little into some food - generally when one of them is sick and doesn't want to eat. It did work, but doesn't on a continuous basis. Placing it on the floor though is what we've done for many years and it works great!

My apartments room temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit. When my cat lays on this warmer pad the temperature rises to 106.5 (temped it using a digital thermometer by placing it under him and between the warmer pad). The normal body temperature for cats falls in the range of 99.5-102.5 Fahrenheit. This pad raises it by 3-4 degrees. He really seems to like it. I WOULDN'T recommend placing this pad in a cage where your pet cannot move off the pad when they feel too hot. My cat makes that decision himself. He will leave and lay next to it when he feels too hot.

No control for temperature. There are lights that let you know when it is the right temperature though. The fish are about 3 inches long. I have used it to make waffles.
