Actually this one looks like what you want.
Six feeding slots and can be programmed to feed at 6, 12 or 24hr intervals.
30 quid.

I have to say I'd be too bloody terrified that the thing would go wrong and my cat would starve to use one of those things.

I know the c50 has 2 ice packs under the food compartments but i dont think that these would keep the food fresh for a few days?
my sister has the c20 which is a 48hr feeder with ice pack, whichis much easier to use and keeps food fresh.
could you not ask someone to pop in every other day or every 3?

always make sure you set it up and do a trial run before you go away

I am planning to go on a long weekend (4 days). I have a clockwork automatic pet feeder that feeds for up to 36 hours, it has a freezer compartment so I will leave wet food in that (treat for the cat) & I have just bought a gravity dry food feeder (it was cheap & holds 3l of food which means they can eat as much as they like & at any time - I have 2 cats so I don't want them fighting which may well happened with timed feeders) in which I will put dried food. I think they will be fine - I will lock the catflap so that the Tom doesn't leave the other one alone & it will ensure he is less likely to get into a RTA.

I have recently bought a water fountain (yet to unpack it) however on previous ocassions (in warmer times of year) I would make ice cubes & put them on an gravity water feeder.

I will put sillica litter in their trays as they `last' longer than clumping.

I did see a 90 day feeder (dry) but apart from the price I didn't think it was necessary as if I feed mine twice a day when I'm around & have no plans to leave them unattended for more than 4 days. If I am going away for longer I take them to my parents to stay.
