Becoming a Cat Dad

Sophie was my first experience living with a cat. It took almost no time at all — this little fuzzball waddled into the little spaces of my heart and turned me into a crazy cat dad.  While Sophie is independent and has a relaxed demeanor, a fair amount of my time still goes into thinking about how I can make her life as enjoyable as possible. This is my thank-you note to Closer Pets for helping me be a better Cat Dad.

We made the decision to feed only wet food. I immediately noticed a big change in the time she spends grooming and her coat has never been softer.

But feeding wet food at every meal came with a big question: how could I serve it fresh when I was away from home?

The Closer Pets 2-Bowl Feeder  is the solution I choose for date nights or weekend getaways. Without any electronic buttons or apps, this programmable feeder serves two meals from individually timed compartments. The food bowls are chilled by a replaceable ice pack and can be upgraded to stainless steel to make cleanup easy. One potential downside is that the dial timer isn’t perfectly precise, so I set it ever-so-slightly earlier than mealtime to avoid any potential stress. The lid link clips are great too, and mean that both open at the same time when needed.

Exploring the other items in Closer Pets’ catalog led me to the Closer Pets TreatView . This treat-dispensing camera is great for a couple of reasons. Now I can take peeks of Sophie peacefully sleeping on her favorite couch, and treats can also be set to launch on a programmed schedule. This feature has genuinely improved my sleep schedule.

Previously, Sophie thought it was her job to be my alarm clock, jumping on the bed and purring next to my head when she decided it was time for treats. It took her all of two days to learn that the treats now come from the TreatView. Now she allows me the luxury of sleeping until my real alarm clock goes off.

Thank you, Closer Pets. Thank you for making products that help me spoil Sophie and feel like the world's best cat dad.
