Petlibro’s Granary 2 range adds AI-powered monitoring to automatic dry-food feeders, aiming to help owners understand not just when food is dispensed, but how much each cat actually eats. The technology is particularly relevant to multi-cat households, where pets may have different diets, portion requirements or health needs.

The four models cost between $129.99 and $249.99; the tested $189.99 Granary 2 Vision can recognise up to 10 cats using a 1080p camera with night vision. Its built-in scale measures food dispensed and left in the bowl, while the app tracks intake, eating duration, frequency, speed and longer-term changes; feeding can be scheduled or managed through smaller automatic refills.
