Query: a chore reducer

This product has worked out very well for me and my cat. Perhaps I lucked out with a well behaved cat because he has not once attempted to tamper with the gadget. I have the timer set to every 12 hours which is the exact same feeding schedule that I had while feeding him manually. No longer does my cat wake me every morning. He now waits quietly by the feeder.I was a little concerned about the short spanned battery life reported in customer reviews upon making this purchase. However, I have only had to change out the battery after 7 months using Duracell.I love to travel and this gadget makes it so more manageable to do so. Now I have a neighbor drop by every few days to replenish the feeder, where as before he would have to come by twice a day.
