Watchtower Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera
Watchtower Automatic Cat Feeder with Camera
The automatic cat feeder with camera that doesn't look like a machine. A 5-litre WiFi smart pet feeder with live video and two-way audio, designed to sit on show in a real kitchen rather than hide in a utility room.
What it does
- Timed feeding. Set portioned meals on your own schedule from the app, and the feeder runs it whether you're home or not.
- Live camera. A built-in 2MP camera streams to your phone, so you can check your cat has actually eaten instead of guessing.
- Two-way audio. Call your cat to the bowl in your own voice, and hear them answer.
- Battery backup. Three AA batteries take over automatically in a power cut. Scheduled meals keep dispensing; app and camera features resume when mains power returns.
- Low food alerts. The app warns you when the hopper runs down, and the smoked hopper lets you check at a glance.
- Anti-clog dispensing. A wide outlet and impeller handle dry biscuits, freeze-dried and air-dried food up to 18mm.
- Easy to clean. The stainless steel bowl and the food hopper both lift out for washing.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Never wonder if they've eaten again.
A 5-litre smart feeder with a built-in camera and two-way audio, designed to sit in a real kitchen rather than hide in a utility room. Set the schedule once and check in whenever you like.
Watch them eat
A built-in camera streams live to the app, so you can check in from work, a weekend away, or the sofa.
Meals on your schedule
Set the portion size and the times that suit your cat. Once it is set, it just runs, whether you are home or not.
Survives a power cut
Three AA batteries take over automatically. Scheduled meals keep dispensing even when the mains drops out.
Looks like furniture

Comparison is against typical sub-£100 automatic feeders sold in the UK. Features vary by model — always check the specification of anything you're comparing.
SIMPLE TO USE
Set up in about ten minutes
Fill and plug in
Lift the lid, pour in up to 5 litres of dry food, and connect the power adapter. Add three AA batteries if you want power-cut backup.
Pair with the app
Download the app and follow the on-screen pairing. Choose your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network — the feeder does not connect to 5GHz.
Set the schedule
Choose your feeding times and the portion size for each. Run it for a few days while you are home before relying on it while away.
GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Everything worth knowing before you buy. Still unsure? Ask a human and we'll reply within a day.
How long will delivery take?
Typically 2 to 3 weeks: 1 to 3 working days to process, then 10 to 14 working days in transit. We ship direct from our manufacturing partner rather than a UK warehouse, which is what keeps the price where it is. You will get a tracking link by email as soon as it is on its way.
What food does it take?
Dry kibble only, up to 18mm, including freeze-dried and air-dried food. Wet, raw and fresh food don't keep safely in a hopper, so the feeder doesn't support them.
What happens in a power cut?
Three AA batteries take over automatically and scheduled meals keep dispensing. The camera and app features pause until mains power returns, but your cat still gets fed on time.
Does it need 5GHz Wi-Fi?
No — it connects to 2.4GHz only. Most UK routers broadcast both bands, but you may need to select the 2.4GHz network during setup.
Can it feed two cats?
One feeder portions one bowl reliably. For multi-cat homes we recommend one feeder per cat, because cats who share a bowl rarely share it fairly.
Is there a subscription for the camera?
No. Live video and two-way audio work through the app with no monthly fee. Footage stays in your app rather than on a paid cloud plan.
What if I change my mind?
You have 30 days from delivery to return it, which is longer than the 14-day legal minimum. Email hello@kittykorners.com and we will send return instructions.
