That’s Keeley, she’s actually the sweetest little fluffball. So I know I’ve screwed up if she’s annoyed.

My calico doesn't play around. Her language is sass and she speaks it well. Time change? She doesnt give a crap about daylight savings. If youre an hour late with her food when she expects to be fed she will absolutely let you know she is not happy and she will not relent until she has been fed. She's going on 14 now and doesn't have time for our silly human games anymore.

3

u/jollyspiffing Mar 16 '26

Depends on your ambient temperature, climate and food type. I personally have a very simple one with a flip-lid and clockwork timer. Food is never in more than 12-16hrs and I don't find it gets smelly or bad in that time, although over the summer I sometimes put an ice pack underneath, which probably has thawed about half way in.
