Closer Pets C500 five-meal review
Five stainless bowls of 330 g (11.6 oz) on a digital timer, with two ice packs and a tamper-resistant lid. It is the wet-food feeder for an absence longer than a day.
What we take from it The wet-food feeder that covers a weekend. Stainless bowls, a lid a cat cannot lever, and a footprint to match.
What it is
Five stainless bowls of 330 g (11.6 oz) on a rotating tray, each uncovered at its own
programmed time, with two ice packs under the tray and a lid built to resist a
cat working at it.
The gap it fills
The two-meal Cat Mate covers a day; a hopper feeder covers a week but only
with dry kibble. Between the two sits the weekend away with a cat that eats
wet food, and this is the machine for exactly that.
Stainless, and why it matters more here
Wet food in a plastic bowl leaves a film and, eventually, a smell that survives
washing. Stainless does not, and these bowls go in the dishwasher. On a
machine whose whole job is holding food for two days, that is not a detail.
Ice packs and honesty
Two packs slow the warming of food; they do not refrigerate it. On a warm
weekend, five wet meals sitting out is a food safety question rather than a
machine question, and the honest answer is that dry food and a hopper feeder
are the safer plan.

What we rate, and what we flag up
Strengths
Five meals: a full weekend of wet food rather than a single day out
Stainless bowls, dishwasher-safe — the part that touches wet food is the part that must wash properly
Tamper-resistant lid, for the cat that has learned to open the two-meal feeder
Twin ice packs rather than one
Compromises
Larger footprint than a hopper feeder for the same number of days
Not listed on Amazon US at the time of checking
Ice packs only slow warming — five meals of wet food over a hot weekend is still a bad idea

The questions owners ask
Five meals — how long does that actually cover?
Two and a half days at two meals a day, or a full weekend at the usual pattern of an evening departure and a Sunday return. Beyond that you are into hopper feeders and dry food, whatever the marketing photographs suggest.
What does tamper-resistant mean in practice?
That the lid resists a paw working at its edge. Cats learn quickly which object contains tomorrow’s dinner, and a feeder that can be levered open turns five meals into one. It is the feature that separates this from the two-meal trays.
Can I use it for a medical feeding schedule?
It will deliver several small meals at set times, which is the mechanical part of what such a schedule needs. What the portions should be, and whether the schedule is right, is between you and your vet — this site describes machines, not diets.
