AONBOY Automatic Cat Feeder with 2 Bowls, 5L WiFi App Timer
A capable, well-priced scheduler for two cats, as long as you accept that the splitter divides food roughly rather than precisely.
Best for: Households with two dry-food cats of similar size and appetite who want app-controlled meal timing, a hopper big enough for a long weekend, and don't need a camera.

Best for: Owners of large, escape-prone or off-leash dogs in areas with reliable LTE coverage, who want unlimited-range live tracking and don't mind a recurring subscription.
