Amazon Basics Automatic Timed Pet Feeder

I use this to help my cat take her meds twice a day and it has been really great. She needs a medication every 12 hours, and sometimes I need to leave early or stay late at work, or be gone 1 or 2 nights. I was looking at a LOT of pet sitting costs. Instead, I set this for every 12 hours, put the meds in a pill pockets, put the pill/pocket in each compartment, and now my cat is trained to get a "treat" ever 12 hours whether I am home or not. The timer has worked consistly and I am very happy with battery life. My online issue is that the timer is a countdown for a certain number of hours or minutes (so 12 hours, for 24 you need to set 23.59), not a time on a clock, so you have to START the timer at the right time. Not a big deal, but I did accidentally hit a reset when refilling one time and had to wait several hours to go restart the countdown. It actually works well enough that I bought a second when I had a trip I was worried about travel delays for, and in case I did not get back in time it set my cat for 5 days - one in AM, one in PM. More than 3 or 4 is pushing it, but this was a family emergency and it was nice to know I had the option. Just keep in mind that the 6 compartments have 1 open compartment at all times, so you only have 5 timed releases and the first one is accessible.
