Make scheduled dry-food meals easier with the PaWz range of automatic cat feeders. Choose from timed feeders, smart Wi-Fi models and selected cat feeders with cameras, app control, voice functions and battery backup.
Features vary between models, so compare the food capacity, compatible kibble size, meal settings, Wi-Fi requirements and camera functions before ordering.
For a wider mix of bowls and feeding products, see our Cat Feeders range.
How to Choose an Automatic Cat Feeder
The best feeder for your cat depends on how you want to manage meals and which features you will actually use.
Before buying, check:
- food capacity
- compatible dry-food size
- number of meals or portions that can be scheduled
- Wi-Fi and app requirements
- camera and audio features
- mains and backup power options
- removable parts and cleaning instructions
- whether the model is intended for one or more feeding bowls
Do not assume that every smart feeder has the same camera, Wi-Fi compatibility or feeding settings.
Compare Automatic Cat Feeder Types
Smart Wi-Fi Cat Feeders
A Wi-Fi feeder lets you manage supported feeding functions through a compatible mobile app.
For example, the current Automatic Smart Pet Feeder with WiFi App Control is available in Wi-Fi and video configurations. The video model adds a camera and two-way audio, while the standard Wi-Fi configuration has different specifications. petpawz.com.au
Check the exact variant before ordering because features can differ within the same product listing.
Cat Feeders with Camera
A camera feeder can be useful if you want to check your cat around mealtime as well as schedule food.
Camera specifications vary considerably.
The Pet Smart Feeder with Camera 6L has a 6L capacity, 1080p camera, 130° coverage, night vision, two-way audio and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support. petpawz.com.au
By comparison, other camera models use different camera angles, capacities and Wi-Fi requirements. Compare the specification table on the individual product page rather than assuming all camera feeders use the same hardware.
Automatic Feeders with Added Pet Features
Some models add functions beyond scheduled feeding.
The 7L Automatic Pet Feeder with Laser and WiFi App combines a 7L dry-food hopper with app-controlled feeding, an HD camera, two-way audio and an interactive laser function. It supports dry food measuring 5–16mm according to its current specifications. petpawz.com.au
The 2-in-1 Automatic Feeder and Waterer combines food and water storage, with Wi-Fi and camera configurations available. petpawz.com.au
What to Check Before Buying
Dry Food Size
Automatic feeders use dispensing mechanisms with specific kibble-size limits.
Check the product specifications before filling the hopper. Using food outside the stated size range may affect dispensing.
Capacity
A larger hopper can reduce how often you need to refill dry food, but capacity alone should not determine your choice.
Consider your cat's meal plan, food type and the feeder's actual scheduling controls.
Wi-Fi Compatibility
Do not assume every smart feeder connects to every home Wi-Fi network.
Some PaWz models support only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, while selected models support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Check the individual specification before buying. petpawz.com.au
Camera and Audio
Camera resolution, viewing angle, night vision and two-way audio vary between products.
If monitoring is an important reason for buying the feeder, compare those specifications directly rather than choosing only by hopper capacity.
Backup Power
Selected feeders offer optional battery backup as well as mains power. Battery type and functionality during backup operation can differ, so check the individual instructions.
Automatic Cat Feeder or Regular Cat Feeder?
An automatic feeder is useful when you want food dispensed according to a programmed schedule or controlled through supported smart functions.
A regular feeder may be more suitable if you do not need scheduling, app control or remote features.
If you are comparing both types, see the wider Cat Feeders collection.
For automatic feeders designed for both cats and dogs, you can also compare the broader Automatic Pet Feeder range.
Cleaning an Automatic Cat Feeder
Where the feeder includes a removable tray or food container, wash and dry the removable parts according to the product instructions before refilling. Electronic components should only be cleaned in the manner specified by the manufacturer.
Smart Cat Care at Home
If you are building a more automated cat-care setup, an automatic feeder can be paired with an Automatic Cat Litter Box.

FAQ
How does an automatic cat feeder work?
Most automatic dry-food feeders store food in a hopper and release a set amount according to programmed meal settings. Some models also offer Wi-Fi app control, camera monitoring or voice functions. The exact controls vary between feeders.
Do all automatic cat feeders use Wi-Fi?
No. Some models use local timer controls, while smart feeders may connect through Wi-Fi and a mobile app. Check the product specification because Wi-Fi support and supported bands vary.
Can I get an automatic cat feeder with a camera?
Yes. Selected PaWz models include built-in cameras. Camera resolution, night vision, viewing angle and two-way audio vary between products, so compare the individual specifications.
Can an automatic cat feeder feed more than one cat?
It depends on the model. Some products use dual bowls or may suit multi-pet homes, while others are designed around a single feeding area. Check the individual product configuration rather than assuming every feeder is suitable for multiple cats.
What food can I put in an automatic cat feeder?
The automatic feeders shown here are primarily designed around specified dry-food sizes. Compatible kibble diameter differs between models, so check the product specifications before use.
What size automatic feeder should I buy?
Compare hopper capacity with your normal feeding routine rather than choosing the largest feeder automatically. Also check dimensions, portion settings and compatible food size.
What happens if the power goes out?
Selected models support battery backup, but backup functions differ between products. Check the relevant product manual for the required battery type and which features remain available when mains power is unavailable.
