Dog-Proof Cat Feeder

thingiverse

My Sister's Labrador, Sasha, has been gobbling up the cat food, causing my poor felines to lose weight :(\r\n\r\nSince Sasha is a star in some of my productions, I figured it was time to help her slim down with a Dog-Proof Cat Feeder!\r\n\r\nI've added a short video showing it in action here:-\r\nhttps://youtu.be/cVl03hrmBLQ\r\n\r\nThe early prototype worked great at first, but Sasha soon figured out how to pry the loose cap off the top. So I added a secure screw-on lid.\r\n\r\nHere's how it works: most dogs have almost double the paw width of cats, and the slots in my feeder are too narrow for a dog's paw but just right for a full-size tabby. The cat can paw out its meal, then more food comes down the hopper. Most cats won't overeat, so I trust them to eat from it.\r\n\r\nThe hopper holds about 8 standard cat meals, so if you're away, your cats can feed themselves!\r\n\r\nMy three felines quickly learned how to use it, and now Sasha is getting slimmer for summer :D\r\n\r\nIf you want to get really creative with this print, try using a semi-transparent filament so you can see how much food is left :)\r\n\r\nYou can check out my other designs here:-\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/ScottyMakesStuff/designs\r\n\r\nVisit my YouTube Channel, ScottyMakesStuff, for all my videos here:-\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UChDeVchB6CCF--0wQQYNIhQ\r\nhttps://twitter.com/ScottyMakesStuf\r\nhttps://www.instagram.com/scottymakesstuff/
