Another Christmas pot

This one was made for [livejournal.com profile] dancing_guru's cat Booka. It's an automatic pet feeder. The dry cat food replenishes as it is eaten. The opening is higher than the eating dish because the food finds it's own level.
I couldn't make one for Amby because he would knock it over, gobble up all the food, then vomit it on the rug. The daughter's cat is much more dignified although he doesn't have the cute floppy ears.

My kitties would love to eat from such a beautiful feeder! I love the colors.

However, they would never eat out of the same dish at the same time. In their Book of Cat Manners; That Is Simply Not Done. Stealing from each other is, but not eating at the same time from the same dish.

Thanks :-)

I'm more used to the book of dog manners, which is not the same thing at all and the Amby section of the book.... even less so.

Thank you, glad you like it.
It went together easier than I thought it was going to, so that's good.

In particular I was unsure because was using B-Mix, which can be a fussy body; and was doubtful if the two sections would pull apart. Especially because of the uneven weights. But to my delight they stayed firm.

Y'know, there is definitely a market for that sort of thing.

HINT HINT

:D

It seems like it could be helpful if someone wants to be gone just for the weekend or so and it's complicated to arrange to have a neighbor feed their cats.

Like me, who goes away a lot and has no one around to help feed the cats.

In other words, are you willing to make another? :D

For you,
Yes indeed :-) :-)

What is the size?

[identity profile] copper-oxide.livejournal.com 2007-12-28 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a little over 3 qts.

Good size!
