Microchip cat feeders, one each. Sorted - although you may need to get both cats microchipped if you have not already done so.

I second that, they are brilliant and will also allow you to leave wet food down for them if you want to as the lid shuts tight and keeps it fresh longer. I got mine for 2 cats with different diet needs and one with food anxiety, now down to 1 cat but I still would never be without the chip feeder.

If you google "microchip cat feeder" you will find lots of options. Best buy will depend where you live and what specification you want (eg room for an ice pack if you are feeding wet food). They have also been discussed on this forum if you use the Search option in Quick Links.
