And what about one that also is not made of plastic my cat gets chin acne from plastic bowls. So far I only found the catmate c200 but has only 2 compartments has ice packs and you can change the bowls to stainless steel for extra 15 dollars or so. 2 of those may be needed to allow for 4 feedings. But not sure how great it works though . Hope to hear more from folks here about recommendations! We learn so much from each other I am yet to buy a feeder waiting in ideas. No plastic for me though.

I see a lot of members use this one it comes with 2 ice packs
I see a lot of members use this auto feeder comes with 2 ice packs for wet food
They also add some water to the food so it won't dry out

Someone asked how long do the ice packs stay cold
How long does the ice pack stay cold for ?
Answer by • May 12, 2021
The length of time this Ice Pack will stay cold depends on many different factors. In perfect conditions, this ice pack can stay cold for up to 48 hours. The C500 should always be used with its ice-packs unless the surrounding temperature is less than 5°C. (40°F.). To freeze the ice-packs before use, place in a freezer for at least 6 hours. When using your C500 feeder with wet food, ensure that the food comes from a freshly opened can/pack. If the weather is very warm, you are advised not to leave wet food for long periods and may prefer to serve dry food, which has better keeping qualities.

This one seems like a good option, the compartment looks so small I wonder how they get in there! But nice that it has an icepak. The wet food I serve is like a pate so he would need to lick it up. Not sure if this compartment is big enough to allow for that. I would love to hear from other members about the pros and cons of this model, thanks!
 
You can try typing in the model above where it says search and you will find posts from other members, or you can just type in auto feeders and see what you find :cat:
