The Catit PIXI Smart Feeder is the latest addition to the PIXI line, specializing in smart products, under the Catit brand. We have previously had the opportunity to analyze the Catit PIXI Smart Fountain, which made a very good impression on us after thorough testing.

It is, as the name suggests, smart feeder designed for dosing the exact amount of cat food. Both the power plan and the plans are perfectly customizable from an application, the same one we previously downloaded for resource management, that unifies and simplifies the management of both devices.

The clever Catit PIXI feeder comes again to make our lives easier if we spend enough time away from home. Now we will not be the target of food-intensive meowing, but this cat-shaped feeder. We feel a little relieved, we don’t go crazy.

The first impression given by the smart Catit Pixi feeder is that we are clearly standing in front of the device in the same line as the source we have already seen. At Catito, they were able to take perfect care of the design so that both devices fit perfectly. We continue with aesthetic based on the face and ears of the cat (specifically in Pixi, Catit’s office cat), which was so successful because it combines a minimalist but adorable design.

Let’s start by talking about the deposit. we have one Capacity 1.2 kg, which will be enough to make you forget to fill the tank for a few weeks (the time will vary depending on what your cat eats). The ring that closes the tank is airtight, which keeps the feed fresh and crisp for longer, and also includes a dehumidifying pad on the anti-mold lid (changed every 30 days).

The Catit Pixi Smart Feeder can be filled with standard feed croquettes (7 to 9 mm in diameter) and has a quiet motor with a system that prevents food jams (detects if the feed grains are clogged and reverses the direction). However, if an obstacle occurs, Catit PIXI will notify us.

The dinner plate is removable and is made of stainless steel dishwasher safe We can use the mat as an attachment during washing. In addition, the bowl is ergonomic so that the cat’s whiskers do not rub against the edges.

The base has two status LEDs, white for WIFI and red to alert us to low food levels. In addition to this red light, the application will send us a notification so that we can refill the tank when it is below 10% of its capacity.

An aid for your diet

In addition to helping us with the anxious food problems our cat may have, the Catit Pixi Smart Feeder will allow us to divide her food into as many feedings as possible. The meal plan can be divided into up to 12 servings per day, regulating the amount of each dose in one or more portions (each approximately 5 grams). So when you know how much food your cat should eat per day and how many portions you want to give her, you will be able to put together a feeding plan that suits her best. Whether you are at home or not.

You can activate and deactivate this plan on the days you want. For example, if you are at home on the weekend and you feed the cat wet food (which will be a party for her), you can deactivate the feeding plan these days and leave it only on the days when you are away.

We may miss that there is more than one feeding plan, for example if you want to give him dry food one morning (at the same time as always), but you want to modify or cancel automatic feeding in the afternoon to give him wet food and create a mixed plan . This is a purely software issue that may be improved in future updates.

Every time the Smart Feeder Catit Pixi serves food correctly, we will be notified to let you know. This is especially useful when you are away from home, because when you are at home, before you run around a little, you will find that the kitten hits when looking for the feed ration. It’s almost like he hasn’t eaten for 3 days, but he doesn’t. In addition, we can activate an audible alert, which is activated each time a portion is served so that the cat can detect it. Although I’m telling you, it won’t be necessary if you don’t live in a two-story house.

It should be noted that these notifications can only be silenced if you disable application notifications in the phone settings. The downside is that you would stop receiving all, even those that warn of low food levels or possible engine blockages.

In addition to this programming, we can deliver food from the application (and even from the feeder itself, by pressing a button on the nose). In Catit, they are visionaries and this button can of course be deactivated if our cat was too smart to learn to squeeze it.

A very important detail to note is that if you are worried that the feeder may stop working if there is a power failure, It has auxiliary batteries on the back, which would last about 58 hours in the event of a power failure.

More options with the PIXI application

The Catit Pixi smart feeder works with our well-known mobile application Pixi, which gives us the opportunity to communicate with the feeder at any time, whether we are at home or anywhere else. After installing and synchronizing with the device (on a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network does not work with 5 GHz or 5G) with the application you will get access to all these features:

• Food delivery. Immediately dispense one or more portions of food into the bowl.
• Plan your meals. Program the times when the cat will eat in a 7-day cycle. It allows you to program up to 12 meals a day.
• Adjust the portion size. Adjust the amount of feed that the feeder will dispense for each meal.
• Jam or full alerts. You will be notified when the food level is below 10% of the total capacity or if the feeder is clogged.
• Feeding summary. See when the next scheduled resource is and whether the feeder contains enough resources at the current time.
• Activate sound. Play a sound to let the cat know that food is being served. It may or may not be active.
• Share APP. You can control and monitor the feeder by more people after logging in to your account in the application.

Conclusions

The Catit PIXI smart feeder is the ideal tool for improving your cat’s feeding. You will be able to program their feed rations and create a feeding plan that best suits your pet, whether you are at home or not. You can forget not only about the distribution of doses, but also about the condition of the feeder, because the application will alert you if you need to add it, replace the pad … Without forgetting the careful design we already knew with the Pixi source and still love it.
