Poor Kitty

Back before we moved, when we went away for the weekend our neighbors would stop by to feed our two cats. Now that we have only one cat, we purchased one of those timed pet feeders. Ours looks pretty much like this one:

We used it for the first time when we were gone for a couple of days around Christmas, and it was great! We tried to use it on a regular basis so he wouldn't wake us up in the morning, but it turns out that when he "found" food he apparently thought that it was "bonus" food and still wanted to be fed by hand afterward. Oh well. 

So before leaving this past weekend I set it up with a couple of feedings and left it in the kitchen next to his regular food bowl, and off we went. However, when we returned, the entire container was nowhere to be found. Uh oh. We finally discovered it all the way in the dining room, where he had somehow dragged it/pushed it, and managed to flip it upside down... so it couldn't open. Poor kitty went all of Saturday and then Sunday morning with no food! Poor little guy!

So that's it for this feeder, unless we manage to find a way to attach it to the floor so he can't possibly move it. Sorry Pippin!
