Timed pet feeders

[88V8]

Over Christmas we hope to be away a few days.

We have become the new home of a local cat - a long story involving a sensitive cat and a boisterous new puppy.
Hitherto it has gone to its former home a few hundred yards away for food, but gradually the cat has manoeuvred things so that now we seem to be feeding it.

I have just bought a heated pad so it will be cosy in its alternative outdoor accommodation while we are away, but feeding......

On eBay I see a variety of automated feeders that will dispense food 2/3 times a day.
This https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Navaris-Auto ... SwO~lfrapP is a somewhat deluxe version.

Any experience?
