AUSLITH AquaFeed Automatic Gravity Cat Water & Food Dispenser

A light bowl on a smooth floor is a toy as far as most pets are concerned. This is one solid piece with a wide, weighted base and a shallow drinking tray — there's nothing to hook a paw under and flip.

Which also means no puddle to find with your socks at six in the morning.

Gravity. As the tray empties, the reservoir above releases exactly enough to bring the level back up, then stops. No pump, no power point, no batteries, nothing to fail while you're at work.

Fill the reservoir and it keeps the tray topped up for days rather than hours.

The reservoir lifts straight off the base, so both parts wash separately under the tap. No narrow tubing and no filter housing to work around.

Rinse the tray every couple of days and give the reservoir a proper wash weekly — standing water builds a film regardless of the dispenser.

Yes — the same gravity design works with dry biscuits, feeding down as the tray empties. Use one for water and one for food rather than switching a single unit back and forth.

Dry food only. Wet food will clog the feed channel and spoil in the reservoir.

One-piece build, so there's nothing to assemble out of the box beyond lifting the reservoir off to fill it.
