WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Never wonder if they've eaten again.
A 6-litre smart feeder with a built-in 1080p camera, infrared night vision 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 1080p 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
Four AA batteries take over automatically. Scheduled meals keep dispensing even when the mains drops out.
Looks like furniture
A ribbed smoked hopper and matte body designed to sit on show in a kitchen, not be hidden in a cupboard.
THE FULL DETAIL
Everything about the Watchtower
Full specification
A six-litre automatic cat feeder with a 1080p camera, made to sit out in a kitchen you are proud of.
Most feeders are designed to be hidden. This one has soft square edges, a matte finish and a smoked hopper you can read at a glance, so it can stay on an open-plan kitchen floor without being the first thing anyone notices.
Leave the house without the guilt
Set the schedule once and meals arrive on time whether you are at the office, stuck on a delayed train, or away for a long weekend. Up to 15 meals a day, each portioned to the gram, so nothing depends on you remembering.
Six litres holds roughly two to three weeks of food for one cat, which makes topping up a fortnightly job rather than a daily one.
See for yourself, not just hope
The 1080p camera streams straight to your phone with a wide 122° view of the bowl, so you can watch your cat come and eat instead of guessing. The lens rotates down to frame the tray, and infrared night vision covers a late meal in a dark kitchen up to five metres away.
Two-way audio lets you call them over in your own voice and hear them answer. You can also record ten seconds of yourself once, and the feeder plays it at every meal, which is how a nervous cat learns the routine.
Shut properly against a determined cat
The food hopper locks to the body on both sides, so a cat leaning on it cannot tip it off. The lid has its own catch that only releases when you pull both sides at once — easy enough with two hands, and beyond a paw.
The bowl and the food hopper both lift out for washing, and a desiccant pack sits in a drying box in the lid to keep biscuits dry to the last scoop.
If food ever jams, or the hopper runs low, or the batteries go flat, the app tells you before your cat notices. You can share the feeder with someone else's phone too, so a partner or a neighbour can feed them without borrowing yours.

Worth knowing before you buy
- This feeder takes dry food only, 3 to 15mm. It is not suitable for wet, raw or fresh food.
- On battery backup the feeder still dispenses every scheduled meal, but it sleeps between them: the camera, the app and the recorded message are unavailable until mains power returns.
- Rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended, as they can make the feeder report its charge level inaccurately.
- The base unit holds the electronics and must not be filled with water or immersed. Wipe it with a damp cloth; the bowl and hopper are the parts that wash.
- There is no SD card slot. You watch live and can save a snapshot or a clip to your phone.
- Run it for a few days while you are at home before you rely on it while away.
- An automatic feeder is not a substitute for someone looking in on your cat over a longer trip.
- Orders are dispatched within 7 to 10 working days. See our shipping policy for the full detail.
Setting it up
Fill and plug in
Lift the lid, pour in up to 6 litres of dry food, drop the desiccant pack into the drying box and connect the adapter. Add 4 AA batteries for power-cut backup.
Pair with the app
Install the Pet Zero app, turn on your phone's Bluetooth and it finds the feeder by itself. It works on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi.
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?
We dispatch within 7 to 10 working days of your order, then it is 1 to 2 working days with a tracked courier. Full detail on our Delivery & Returns page.
What food does it take?
Dry kibble only, 3 to 15mm, 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 if my Wi-Fi drops?
Your cat still gets fed. The feeding schedule is stored on the feeder itself rather than in the cloud, so meals keep dispensing on time. What pauses is the remote side of it: the live camera, notifications and feeding by hand from your phone. All of it returns on its own once the network is back, with nothing to re-pair.
Is it safe to leave for a week?
Yes, and capacity is the easy part: six litres is roughly two to three weeks of food for one cat. Two honest caveats. Run it for a few days while you are at home first, so you know your cat takes to it. And for longer trips still have someone able to look in, because a feeder handles meals and lets you watch, but it cannot refill a water bowl or spot a cat that has stopped eating.
What happens in a power cut?
Four AA batteries take over and scheduled meals keep dispensing. The feeder sleeps between meals on battery, so the camera and app pause until mains power returns, but your cat still gets fed on time. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, as they can make the feeder report its charge level inaccurately.
What Wi-Fi does it need?
Either band. It connects to 2.4GHz or 5GHz, so it will work with whatever your router broadcasts.
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 Pet Zero app with no monthly fee. There is no SD card slot and no cloud plan — you watch live and can save a snapshot or clip to your phone.
What if I change my mind?
You have a full 30 days from delivery to return it. Email hello@kittykorners.com and we will send return instructions.
