Nowadays, humans are too busy with their daily life which leads them to find it difficult to properly feed and care for their pets. This project aims to develop an automatic cat feeder using Arduino with IoT application to provide automated and controlled feeding for cats. The main objective is to create a system that dispenses precise portion of cat food and drink at a desired times to ensure the cat get a proper nutrition and feeding consistency. The project uses a wide variety of input and output. The input includes user defined feeding schedules through the IoT application and Ultrasonic sensor to sense the level of food and drink for the cat, while the output consists of a motor-driven mechanism that dispenses the cat food and drink, LED to show the food level and buzzer to indicate that the feeding process is starting. Simulation through software has been done and the findings indicate an accurate feeding operations and reliability. This study contributes to help those busy with their daily life studying and working in improving pet care by enabling pet owners to automate and personalize feeding routines, ensuring their cats' well-being even in their absence. Future work could be done in improving the project functionality by involving incorporating some additional features like food level monitoring, activity tracking, and integration with smart home systems. In conclusion such problems could be encountered by using an automated cat feeder system by using Arduino with IoT application
