Cat feeders · Choose by your needs
If food weighing in the bowl would be useful but is not essential, mark it as a preference rather than a hard filter. Some models document bowl-scale capability; the feature reports food weight, not which cat ate or whether a feeding plan is appropriate.

| Model | Model | What weighing adds | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| PETLIBRO Granary 2 PLAF105 | PETLIBRO Granary 2 PLAF105 | Monitors food weight in one bowl | Hard, flat floor and calibration required |
| PETLIBRO Granary 2 X PLAF305 PLAF305 / AF305 | PETLIBRO Granary 2 X PLAF305 | Bowl weighing plus visual-recognition lid | One bowl; recognition is not chip or tag reading |
Choose it when: The standard PLAF105 configuration documents bowl-weight monitoring without a camera, so it is a direct choice when weighing matters more than remote video.
The limit: It is a one-position dry feeder and does not tell which cat consumed the food; setup and calibration surface conditions matter.
Choose it when: PLAF305 combines bowl weighing with photo-based pet recognition controlling the lid, unlike the standard no-camera PLAF105.
The limit: The visual-access feature requires exact photo setup and supervised checking; it is not an implanted-chip reader and does not provide two feeding positions.
Because weighing is optional, other feeder types remain eligible. The documented scale models include Granary 2 PLAF105, Vision single and Duo, and Granary 2 X; each has different camera, bowl and access arrangements. Choose based on food and household routine rather than treating the scale as a quality ranking.
No. It measures food in the bowl. It does not identify which animal ate, guarantee that one cat stays away, or replace a veterinarian's feeding plan.
