Amazon Basics Automatic Pet Feeder

Update: I'm at the airport to head home and checked the cameras. I was grateful to see the Robot Feeder Gods felt my cat was worthy of food today and the lid turned. Since I'm not okay with my little dude getting fed sporadically (36 hours since the last feeding...??? Holy hell...), this sadistic device is getting returned. Original Review: I received what appears to be a newer version of this. I set the current (military) time, then put in some practice times (can only do 5 min increments), and they went great. The day of my 48 hr work trip, I selected 2 feedings/day (had up to 5 as an option), and put in 6:00 and 18:00. Day 1 went great and my cat seemed to be fascinated by and love the feeder. It rotated exactly as it should have. But yesterday morning I checked the kitchen camera and the lid hadn't moved since the night before. He still had a few pieces of kibble left from dinner, but not enough to get him through breakfast, let alone dinner. I'd hoped maybe at 6pm it would turn, but nope. I feel so horrible for my cat. He's such a good, sweet boy and this is the first time I've left him alone. He always comes with me on every vacation, but we're tent campers. A few months back, we stayed in someone's home overnight to babysit and their kids refused to leave him alone in his room even after several talks. My cat clearly has made a negative association with other houses as a result, because when I took him to my friends' house last weekend to visit so he'd feel safe when I left him there this week, he hissed and grumbled from the second he saw we were entering a house until we exited the door. That was 3 hours, even with him getting to sit out in the porch overlooking a beautiful garden with lots of birds and squirrels, and me giving him ear rubs and treats that he was clearly enjoying. So I figured he'd feel better just staying at home. Now I feel like a horrible person for stupidly trusting this device would work. I hope to god none of my flights are delayed, because I need to get my little buddy food asap.
