"Got this for our two cats because the younger one kept pushing the older one off the food. Had it set up in about ten minutes. First week the younger one kept sitting next to it looking confused, which was pretty funny. Now she just wanders off. The older one eats at her own speed. The only thing I'd flag is to check the batteries aren't running low, because when they die you just get a dead feeder. Other than that, does exactly what it's supposed to."
The Latch is a microchip cat feeder with a motorised lid. It reads your cat’s implanted chip or an RFID collar tag. The lid opens when a registered cat approaches and closes when they leave. Any other cat gets nothing. The feeder stores up to 32 pet identities.
If one of your cats is on prescription or reduced-portion food, the Latch handles the separation. The sealed bowl keeps wet food from drying out and holds around 400ml. Runs on four C cell batteries, not included. You’ll get around six months per set.
Shipping and Returns
Before this, two cats and one bowl of prescription food meant you were the enforcement. Standing at the dish, moving the other cat away, going back ten minutes later to check who had eaten it. The Latch handles that on its own. The lid opens for the registered cat, stays shut for everyone else, and you're out of the middle of it.

First day or two your cat will sniff around the outside and watch the lid. Some investigate the bowl without triggering the mechanism. By the end of the first week most are going straight in without hesitating. The training mode slows the lid down. Nervous cats adjust at their own pace.
Standard bowls don't know which cat is eating. If one of your cats is on a prescription diet, a weight management plan, or just a different portion size, the only enforcement you have is staying in the room. The Latch reads the chip or collar tag on approach. The lid opens for the right cat. Everyone else gets nothing.
Some automatic feeders are larger than expected once you're unpacking them. The Latch is compact enough for a kitchen bench or laundry floor. White finish. The mat underneath keeps it in place. Nothing else to find room for.
