Slow Cat Feeder

This project is if your cat is greedy enough!

For my cat i had success from the first try!

Some cheap shelf mounts, a piece of mdf wood, standard 75mm pvc pipe and some bolts and screws are needed to complete the project as you can see from images.

With this feeder i managed to slow down the speed of eating to 30 minutes.

You can found everywhere an 75mm diameter pvc pipe. It used to guide waters.

I made some holes 10mm for the food and 7mm to attach some bolts.

These bolts helps the cat to spin the feeder.

They are also help for a weight step while spinning.

They give more weight to the feeder.

This is why i love my 3d printer. if you have one you can download and print the caps.

If not, be creative and make your own caps.

I design the spining holes on 6.5mm diameter.

a piece of mdf wood is just enough to mount the shelf holders.

I have cut the rest of the holders.

2 x M4 bolts are used for spinning the pipe.

Cats are really intelligent animals.

My cat was able to spin the pipe from first try!

I can add food for whole week without worrying about that my cat ate all its food from date one or tow.

This is a daily dose on the photo.
