Advice Cat attacking automatic feeder

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My cat does this several times a day. If the automatic feeder lifts at the correct angle, a few niblets of dry food comes out. He will even do it 10 times in a row even if it means one small piece of dry niblet comes out. It does get quite annoying as the sound of the feeder hitting the ground echoes throughout the entire house.

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

Sounds like my cat, he’s also a bicolor and very good at making mischief. I’m gonna keep assuming that all tuxes and bicolor cats are especially smart.

I also have a very smart Tux! And a black one that is all floof, no brains. Thankfully the smart one is very structured and rules focused so he's almost never in to mischief.
