Not a lot of options but I ended up getting the Petlibro Polar. It stores 3 servings and actually refrigerates the food. 30 minutes before feeding time, it stops refrigerating the next portion although I bet the food is still a bit cold. My 2 kitties seem to have gotten used to it. There's an app and the feeders have sensors so it will log when it detects that a cat is eating which you can view in the app. So far I'm impressed. Not perfect but I don't know of anything better.

I use the petsafe timed feeder and just freeze the containers and put them out overnight. Has worked fine for years.

I'm jealous, a cat that likes water! I have to put out sneaky water bowls so they think they're 'stealing' my water so they drink more! The silly creatures!

I'm so grateful to the cat that I found, primarily because I learned that I don't actually like cats as a pet. She was so sweet and loved everyone, but I've found that every cat that I pet feels to me like a thawed chicken carcass with the world's most delicate fur. I know that I'm wrong, but it's absolutely a texture thing for me.

Also, she hated any other pets, and we have two dogs. Fortunately, some other family looking to adopt a cat actually wanted her, so I'm glad to know that she's in the perfect home, and that this family is unlikely to abandon her like her first family did.
