I had to get very creative with our kitty. He is getting old and has his little pharmacy of drugs and needs small meals throughout the day; which means we cannot leave him for very long. So I got an automated feeder dish with two doors.

The trial run was not successful to say the least; that timer dish was moved all over the place. So I screwed it down to a large sheet of plywood, which meant he stood on the plywood and could not shove the dish around. That did not work either; he just ripped the time dish apart.

Purchased a new timer dish, screwed it to the plywood and created a secondary door over the top of the existing doors that covered the dials. This worked pretty well and it means we only purchase a new timer dish every six months.

I have made more modifications along the way, but he always finds a way to get around what I think is a very creative fix.
Here is Max he is 15 lbs. and can put a little weight into tearing up his toys, or my leg when he gets happy paws. So show us your kitty’s photos.
