You would not think that the container your cats food is in has anything to do with cat health care but it actually does. An auto cat feeder is a container that an owner can fill and depending on the size of the container, this supply of food will feed their cat while they are on vacation or on a business trip out of town. They have even been know to save a cats life due to their owner being elderly. The elderly person could have a medical emergency and be rushed off to the hospital while these auto cat feeders will be there for the cat until someone comes to get them.
