I went through a similar process in 2003 with two cats that begged incessantly for food. I had to bolt the feeders (of different manufacture and style) down to a sheet of melamine and add thin metal shielding at the front to prevent the cats from reaching up the chute to the auger, but IMO Furiosa's feeder is grossly over-engineered due to leaping from various half-baked initial anchoring attempts directly to a doomsday device. In any case, our collected experiences suggest that cat feeder manufacturers do not adequately field test their devices.
- jaclaz 10y agoYep, or maybe we have smarter or more persistent cats. Anecdotally, once I had two cats that I "trained" to use a catdoor I had just installed. Cat #1 learned to use it in like three times I guided him thought the thingy. Cat #2 simply couldn't grasp the idea and after like 100 attempts I gave up. Later I heard "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, tlatlac!", cat #2 never learned to use the catdoor "properly", or maybe he had some vision defect, cannot really say, but he got that it was a way in so it simply went head in on the whole door (from left to right in 15 cm steps) until he got through the cat door. One way or the other, he got in.

- tlrobinson 10y ago"IMO Furiosa's feeder is grossly over-engineered" I think that was half the point.
