Are the Surefeed MICROCHIP PET FEEDERS worth it? 

I would watch this man reviewing anything

Watched it for the cinematography, stayed for the cats.

Philip, as a filmmaker and a cat mum this channel is a god send. Please continue making videos!

This channel is so criminally under-viewed. I am getting my first cats and these are undoubtedly the most info packed reviews I‘ve found. Also, your cinematography is amazing! You make your own home look endless or at least incredibly huge with clever shot composition! Great pacing as well, I usually have trouble focusing on any video but these have me staring at the screen!! Your cats have a great live, I‘m very happy for them :)

You're the first reviewer that mentions and actually shows how to clean them and the difficultly level of doing it. Thank you for that insight!

You’re blessed to have five furry companions. The cats are blessed to have such a responsible hooman.

You’ve got to admire Harriet’s tenacity. She knows what she wants (food and more food) and doesn’t get sidetracked.

This is so beautifully shot. You deserve millions of subscribers and views !

Harriet is the most precious baby and I love her!

The fact that you don't eat meat BUT you're wiling to cook a whole chicken for your cat is so sweet.

I watched all the videos here and don't even have a cat, i also watch all the ads because i hope in someway the revenue goes towards your trips to help the cats. I loved the documentary and actually came originally from the main channel as i just have to watch anything you make because like so many others, i just enjoy your work. Filming editing and sound design is just so much more than we get from any other channe in my opinion. Thank you for all your effort Mr Bloom and good luck with the cat charity in Skiathos.

Favorite Part: Harriet sitting there looking at the Roomba as if saying, "Just go around me."

I LOOOVED the shot of harriet not moving for the roomba. hilarious

I didn't realize how different cats were in regards to their eating until now. I just got my two beautiful Siamese, one a seal point and one a redpoint. Funny little personalities, but I love them already.

Awesome video, and it’s always nice to see a man unashamedly showing love for his little critters. Keep them coming!

I just love the cosy cat pile the boys make. And OMG Harriet and the vacuum bot. i laughed so hard, thank you for that.

Wow, such gorgeous cats and what a wonderful cat dad!!! I have two rescue felines and they are my world. Nothing better than seeing animals that are so loved and well cared for, you are a role model cat dad. I have had these feeders for a few years, they're amazing....sometimes one of my cats may need some medication so it's so easy to make sure only he gets it mixed in with his food. I would never use any other feeder. My only gripe is that dirt/food does get into the very tiny nooks and crannies around the plastic which you can't remove but these feeders really are game changers. Love your videos..please give your precious cats some cuddles from me!

I came here to look for information about the microchip feeders and ended up watching a video with great storytelling and very lovely cats! Thanks for making the video!

I know this channel is not anywhere near as active as you main channel, but please keep them coming! I have been following you for... I don't know how long because of your cinematography but when I learned how much you love cats you have become an even greater man in my eyes, as I am a cat lover myself. Seeing how much you care for your cats and all others is so heartwarming. Thank you, Philip, for being a pawesome person you are!

Philip, no idea if you will see this on this old video but I just wanted to thank you. We purchased 3 of these feeders for our 5 cats. One needed a high protein, one needed weight control and the others just a standard high quality food. Never have we been able to give them each the specific food only they needed. With this we can now and we can already see the health improvements due to them each getting their specialized diets thanks to you making me aware of these feeders. My family owes you a big debt of gratitude.

Bravo Philip, a fantastically sweet video. Greetings from a colleague in Germany - Roman

Got 4 cats and each has their own microchip feeder and yes, they are 100% worth it 😁

Didn't even know these existed. I have 5 total furry ones and 2 of them that really should be on different food types. Will certainly look into these now! Thanks so much for this, Philip!

Hello!! Wonderful documentation, as always! I even watch all the freaking advertisements, which I never do in any other channel...

This was by far the most helpful review I have watched for these feeders. I have 6 rescue kitties, all of which need to lose weight. I’m excited to watch more of your reviews! Thank you for all the work you put into this!

I had 2 different cats on different diets and I loved the Sure Pet feeders. They were awesome and simple to use. I 100% recommend them!

Ok so I just got sad that a cat food dispenser video ended. This video was brilliantly put together. Loved the little interstitials. Clear voiceover. Really fun and enjoyable video. Just a great job all around.

Love the quality and effort into your vids!

Love your review Philip and loved the more intimate look of Harriet enjoying life in the Bloom household. Hope your doing well and thank you for the post.

I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos! Your videography is out of this world beautiful, and your content is fantastic. I’m making my way through all of your content now 😊 A big hello from Canada!

Another brilliant review. So freaking entertaining I can't stand it! Okay, I discovered these bowls in the US about 8 months ago. Bought four of the basic ones, but wouldn't you know it, they sent one of the ones with the scale. So off I went and bought the necessary hub. They're pricey, but worth every penny. After I talked about mine, my sister bought them for her two rescue kitties...one eats everything in sight and the other likes to eat throughout the day, so even if you're not monitoring how much they eat or dealing with a special diet, these feeders can be very helpful. Thanks for the great video...I will share it with other cat owning friends.

I found the video after already having 6 of their feeders, 4 connect and 2 standard as we have 6 cats, 3 diets and 2 cats that can't eat any other food. It's a an excellent review. I find the feeders have some bugs. Even with the back plates and the fastest closer, other cats can get into a different feeder. All 6 have microchips but 3 need to wear their special microchip tags on collars as their own chips don't work consistently. One cat's built in chip works with the standard version but not with the connect version for example. Overall we couldn't manage without them but they're not perfect.

I'm kinda Furious this channel hasn't gone wildly viral. Amazing job. Every time.

5:39 Did I… did I hear a Pitch Meeting joke in there? In all seriousness, I love your channel and your reviews. They’re really helpful!

I know you are not meant to have favourites but I'm in love with Harriet. 😻

I've been debating getting one of these for awhile. I took in a stray who was a tiny, fluffy, starving, sweet kitty. It's been two years and she is now a huge Maine Coon mix who eats everything, except for the dog's food. My other two cats like to graze and my oldest (he's 16) has been losing weight simply because the fat cat keeps eating everything. Obviously I want them all to be healthy, so I think I'm going to buy one of these. Thank you for reviewing it!

Harriet is so cute 😆

I absolutely love not just watching your cat videos but also listening to you. You have an amazing voice, thank you for sharing with us.

I feed two very, very diets to two very different eaters, lol! My goal was to have them both on the same diet, period. For years, they were on a 50% kibble, 50% canned diet, the wet fed once in the am, once in the pm, with kibble almost 24/7 (with occasional unintentional gaps, like in the morning before we got up to refresh the dish). Well, Moki (the great maw in my profile picture) started gaining weight. And eating his brother, Beemer's, wet food. It was literally years of my nigh constantly chasing him away, getting immensely frustrated, and losing the joy of having both my boys (but no, separation or getting rid of either was never an option). I looked into raw diets, as i had seen incredible results in dogs and just wanted to see if or how it's done for cats. HOLY COW. So cool!! I researched for several weeks, adjusted the way i fed my cats (24/7 food was immediately stopped, and soon the kibble was taken away entirely, and we had 3 wet food meals a day), then took the plunge when Beemer started getting picky about his food. Bought 30 lbs of raw ground mixes that only contained meat, bone, and organ; no dumb additives like fruit or veg, not even supplements or salt. just plain, REAL cat food. Beemer ate some of it for a while, and to make a long, complicated, stressful story short, we put him back to an all canned food diet, bc he has hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease, lost a lot of weight fast, and now refuses to eat anything but a few choice flavors of Tiki Cat after deciding he hates his usual 9lives pate (which, btw, the tiki cat is more expensive to feed than the raw i feed my other boy). ANYHOW. Moki is now completely raw and doing fabulously. he has lost fat, gained muscle, is more alert and playful, and obviously feels better. he loves chowing down on his meals, and feels full afterward; he doesnt have the same endless obsession with eating his brother's food. doesnt mean he wont try or take a chance when one presents itself, but he gives up almost immediately and can go take an after-breakfast nap. now Beemer is on a 'if you'll eat, do it' diet of canned food. he has constant access, day and night, however, like i said, moki will help himself if given the chance. so my poor mom feeds beemer on her bed, and he wakes her up to open a container for him. by biting her face. lol, its a good thing we adore him. but its becoming really hard for mom to keep up with that, so i think we'll be picking up a microchip feeder. Moki will never go back on kibble, ever, bc i doubt he'll ever become a picky eater, and besides that, kibble has so much wrong with it. cats become addicted to the flavor of it, and being cats, they dislike trying new things. THAT SAID. your kitty already likes roast chicken. wouldnt be hard to add the roast chicken to her kibble, slowly transition her away from kibble entirely, then cook the chicken less and less until it's pretty much raw, then add the bone and organ (after you do ages of your own hard research bc you need to know how to feed raw correctly for it to be worth doing; 'Cats Completely Raw and Proud (Cat CRAP)' on facebook is a great resource; theyve helped me so much). i guarantee that your calico, a former stray, will go crazy for a raw diet. it's possible she wouldnt need much of a transition. she will likely lose her obsession of the food bowl, and will be more satisfied, lose that stubborn weight, and find mealtimes to be more stimulating (the goal is to get them on more whole-foods; bone-in, skin-on chicken wings, chunks of appropriate organ, even whole prey, yall). raw diets have great benefits, ranging from allergy relief or healing to weight loss to improved activity level. you owe it to your obligate carnivores to at least check it out. Perfectly Rawsome . com has wonderful info, the aforementioned facebook group has beginner recipes that are super simple, or you could even do a freeze-dried or other premade raw. there are loads of options out there. i feed pre-made grinds from Hare-Today, but they are not complete/balanced, so i do make some adjustments when feeding, and i follow a PMR, or Prey Model Raw, meaning no fruits or veg, no grains, nothing but meat, bone, and organ. i bought the 30 lbs mid-july, and i still have 10 lbs left. my boy is not the most rambunctious, neither is he a kitten with endless energy, so he doesnt need as many calories as other cats may. All this to say, Moki eats about 3 oz=$1.02 worth of food daily (my food calculator said he should be at 4.5, but he was gaining/keeping weight on at that amount; we'll probably go to 3.5 within the next couple weeks and he should be good to go). Beemer eats or tries to eat between 4-5oz= apr. $2.44 worth of food daily. i hope to eventually get him on raw, but right now i just want him eating, so we'll take it slowly and see what happens. :) thanks for coming to my ted talk. i know it was long and rambling, but it was nice to get it talked out. EDIT: oh my goodness, i forgot to mention. Moki's raw poops are NO LONGER STINKY!!! same goes for his farts; in fact, the only fart ive smelled from him since switching was after he had accidentally got into some kibble (naughty booooy ;) nah, stupid human left kibble out where he could find it. smart boy.) his poops are firm, fairly dry, uniform, and crumble into nothingness within a few days if they were to be left to decompose instead of getting scooped out of the litter box.

Oh my goodness, I clicked on this video fully expecting to click through to the review parts and couldn't look away! Love your videography, music, the cat stories, everything.

I was so intrigued and immersed watching your three litter box reviews and then this one that I can't even remember how I got to your videos in the first place (wasn't looking for information on automated litter boxes either), but boy, was it lucky that I did! Loved all of the ones I watched. The little snippets of story behind how you got each of your cats and their personality traits, while staying on topic, is great! The way you speak and include humor in your videos makes them engaging and gets a few chuckles out of the watcher. Love it! ♥

I love your cats and your videos! I'll sometimes watch your videos on TV and my cat, Sammi, who like Jack, is also black, will get up on my lap and watch all the videos with me. Thank you for caring enough to rescue and knife enough to love.

I just found your channel, and I just love it, and your love for your cats. Love your humor that you add. I see you see them as your children, and love it. Thank you for sharing your family with us. P. S. Love the music as well.

I also have a “Harriet”. My overweight calico is Sophie - unfortunately she has learned to wait until poor old Sid has activated his feeder, bulldoze him out of the way and quickly haul out an armload of his biscuits before the lid comes down! 😆

Wow wow wow wow wow. Microchip feeders are tight!

Your videos are so delightful. Finally a reviewer I feel like I can trust ❤️

You, your cats and your style of filming is amazing. Thank you 🐈🐈

brilliant work! I love the storytelling, the cinematography, and how much you love your kitties

Man… I came to see how these work and I get some Netflix cinematography with beautiful cats ! Aside from that, all the info I needed, thank you for making this video .

Your videos are superb! Your kitties, comments, quips and musical selections are a delight! Oh yes, your recommendations are useful and your explanations easy to understand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you!

Bravo Philip! I'm so tickled by it all. Your narrative made it so fun - (Beth from Los Angeles)

This is the best cat video I’ve ever seen.

I just love watching his videos! I just love his kitties, they are all so sweet

Lockdown took me to some surprising places. 🤣 Your cinematography was a Godsend! I am still watching and enjoying your channel and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your content. lol Harriet(?) is an amazing speed bump 😗

Ah, so glad you made this and your other videos (the litter robot 3 one especially! Deff. going to buy 2 after your detailed video). We have 4 very differently sized cats with very different food preferences and without a doubt your review has convinced me on these feeders. Thanks!

Your videos are amazing. The care for you cats comes through in the video. I rarely say this but its heart warming. I hope Bertie and Percy bulk up soon! Thanks for the review.

Omg Harriet became a chonk! So cute

another beautiful video. gosh, i don't know why you don't have a billion subs. loved the stories behind your kitties as well. oh, harriet. love your British humor - keeps me smiling.

This is exactly what I was looking for when I went looking for a review of this feeder. Thank you. Also, subscribing because the video was great

This is the best and most useful channel. I have landed here a couple times trying to find info on automated cat stuff and these videos are amazing and comprehensive and somehow also precious and moving? I love your cats!

I don’t know if my 4 cats can sense the love and care you have for your cats. Or maybe it’s comforting for them to hear your voice. But when I put your videos on they will sit for hours watching your reviews; especially recently your automatic litter box reviews. But anywho your videos are very informative and definitely helpful on items to buy for them in the future.

I absolutely love your video. I have just purchased the Surefeeder and am in the process of learning how to use it correctly. I have four cats one of which is on a special diet or, he ends up in hospital. So I need to stop him from accessing the other three cat's foods. Right now I'm going to try it with one feeder and see if I can manage. If not, I will purchase more. Thank you for your delightful video. It was Meowzing!!!

Sorry wasnt finished. Its wonderful to see your reviews. 😊

This is fabulous, I'm just now facing trying to separate out what 3 cats eat; 2 senior kitties on senior diet, but one eats too much whilst the other isn't eating enough, and then a boistrous young fella who eats anything and everything. Watching your gang happily using this system makes me think I might just lash out on a joint christmas present for us all! Thanks, love your content :)

I don't own a cat so I don't need a pet feeder or auto litter box. Have I watched all your videos? Yes I have and loved them. I also just subscribed to your main channel and watch all the commercials that pop up in case you see any $ from them. Your channel is so great.

First time viewer. Subscribed immediately. Thank you so much for your honest review and fantastic content. And most importantly, for the way you love your kitties. ❤😻🙏🏻

Very informative video Philip, thank you. I see you have the red beads on your Christmas tree. I have these too and my cats like playing with them although they haven't shown as much interest in the tree this year as they did last year. The young ones are growing up...

My strange cat was over the moon for potatopeels. So much that he reacted when they peeled vegetables on the tellie.

such beautiful cats...i wish i had 5

Just discovered your vids, I love them! The filming, the narration, the cats of course, all of it! Keep doing what you do, you have a new dedicated subscriber 😁

Genius! You've done it again, Philip.

I love cats. I don't have one at the moment. But, when I do, I have your cat channel to turn to for great advice and content. As a fellow filmmaker, I think you do an amazing job of writing and editing your videos. They are always engaging, informative and entertaining. Happy Holidays.

Thank you for this review. You have great pacing and a nice voice. The detail is helpful, too, to really understand how these work.

This really answered all my questions about this device. Thanks so much!

OMG.... I LOVE LOVE LOVE your video review! I just purchased the feeder as my cat who was born outside is OBSESSED with food! She is growing plump as her sister is getting thin. Your review was excellent! Thank you!

Hi Mr. Bloom, I discovered your channel today through the "Black with No Cream" podcast in which Valentina Vee mentioned your name and your crazy skills as a videographer. I logged in and saw "One Man Five Cats" channel, are you kidding me?? Not only a videographer, but a cat lover as well. Wow!! I am One Woman Two Cats (at the moment) kind of gal, but so far, I've watched two videos and I loved them. I'll be checking out all videos in this channel shortly. Thank you so much for loving and rescuing cats. I love Harriet so far, but I'm sure as I learn more about the rest I'll be sold as well. Cheers!!

Wow!! Congrats on your channel! So well done, relaxing and satisfying to watch! I'm eager to keep watching and get to know your family better. Greetings from one woman, three cats and two dogs 😊

Love this guy and his vids very useful and very well made!

Amazing review Philip 😻

I love your videos, the cats and the information. Thanks

I have really enjoyed your videos. And was over the moon when you brought home the 6th cat! I can see you love for the animals, the strays of Skiathos, and especially Harriet and Severus. Please keep making videos... I am gonna find the Catio one and give it a watch. Thank you for sharing your cat family and your love of the cats with us.

You are the best! I plan to get one after watching your review. Thank you!

I didn't even realise these were a thing! I have one who is probably 18 and has cranky kidneys, one who is 9 and super prone to bladder stones, another who is 9 (brother of bladder stone kitty) who barfs on BOTH kidney and bladder stone food, and bladder stone kitty bullies the smallest cat and keeps her away from the food. This could absolutely be a life changer for me! THANK YOU! (Although holy hell are they gonna bitch about going from free-feed to a smaller dosage...)

That was so enjoyable. As well as informative. Thank you.

Poor Harriet. I have a chubby cat that likes his food too much. I have total of five cats, one who may soon need special urinary support diet . Hence why I'm here watching your amazing video.

The best recommendation I've ever got on RU-vid! I myself have 4 rescue cats, and would live to meet a man like you one day to marry ! 😭 nothing more attractive than a man who takes care of his animals 🙌🏽

I really love your videos. Thanks for making them 💕

Thank's a lot for this review. I was hesitating getting one of these feeder after taking a former feral cat at home, he is just crazy about food ant it is a pain to keep him away from my other cat food, who is a super fussy eater taking 3 bites at a time... Reviews like this are helpful as a buying guide. I finally got the standard version, for only one cat (the other swallows all his food in 2 seconds!) and I do not regret it. Took 3 days for training and changed my life for the best!

What a well done video. Very entertaining and relaxing to watch.

One man 4 cats here and i say YES! 👍😁

Honestly, I don't know if I love you or the cats more.

Thank you so much for this interesting and lovely video all around - Harriet is the cutest and made me laugh xx

Amazing review! Your cats are beautiful 😍 This has made me decide to purchase two feeders. I now have two different diets in my house and I was told to only feed morning and night. Both my girls enjoy grazing their dry biscuits and I don't want to change that part of their routine (both suffer anxiety) and cause them stress. Thank you so much as this gave me all the info I needed 🙂

You’re cats all get on so lovely with each other. I have two and one likes to bully the other. With two dogs as well it can get chaotic.

Jaunty and helpful too!

Harriet super cute

Your the best I worship my cats they are everything

Fantastic video!

Nice video! I just bought that feeder because my vet told me that it could be helpful for my newer little boi, he needs food always every 3-4h otherwise he may tend puke and he is food sensetive, the problem is one of my other cats is a walking black-hole, therefore this is fantastic! I also recommend it!

thank you so much it was lovely
