This report represent about the new design concept of the cat feeder system. Professional Technology (ProTech) Automatic Cat Feeder uses switches and sensors which are connected to an Arduino Uno microcontroller. Weight sensor is used as to detect the amount of cat food in the bowl meanwhile water level sensor to detect the amount of water in the drinking bowl of the cat feeder system. Main actuator of this device is a servomotor and a pump motor. When either the cat food or water in tray were empty, either servomotor or pump motor turn ON as to refill either the food or water in the empty bowl .This device will withdraw a specific amount of cat food and drinks within a specific time. That also have the LEDs where is Blue light will indicate the circuit is ON, while green light indicate the cat drinks in the container is filled and the cat food in the container is filled. The red light indicates that the cat drinks is filled and cat food is filled.
