Can a British Shorthair use an automatic feeder comfortably?

Yes, they adapt quickly. British Shorthairs are not picky eaters and are generally calm, so the sound of the feeder won't stress them. Just make sure the bowl is shallow enough for their flat face to reach easily, and test the portion size so they don't overeat.

I have a British Shorthair myself and she took to her automatic feeder like a dream. The key is getting one with a slow-dispensing mechanism so she doesn’t inhale her food-those flat faces can make fast eating a bit messy. Once she realized the feeder meant meals on schedule, she actually started waiting by it a few minutes before feeding time, which is adorable. Just set it up in a quiet corner away from high-traffic areas, and your kitty will likely feel totally at ease.
