Feeding several cats from the same home can turn mealtime into a guessing game. One pet may eat too much, another may eat too little, and it can be hard to know which cat finished the food. Petlibro’s Granary 2 series takes aim at that problem with AI recognition, portion control, and intake tracking built for multi-cat households.
“Petlibro’s new AI-powered feeder is a game changer for multi-cat homes,” Lauren Forristal wrote. The series sits in a crowded smart feeder market, where companies are adding AI cameras and health tracking to products that once focused only on dispensing food at set times.
Four Granary 2 models cover different feeding needs
Petlibro’s Granary 2 series is designed for dry food and includes four models priced from $129.99 to $249.99. Each model offers app-controlled feeding, precise portioning, and intake tracking, but the higher-priced versions add tools for homes with multiple pets or different dietary needs.
The $189.99 Granary 2 Vision adds an AI-powered camera that can recognize up to 10 cats and track each pet’s eating habits. The $199.99 Vision Duo goes a step further with two separate dispensing chutes and bowls for multiple pets, giving each animal its own feeding space.
The most expensive model, the Granary 2 X, costs $249.99 and uses AI recognition to provide individualized portions for pets with specific dietary needs. The tested version also uses its camera to identify which pet is eating and connect that meal with the correct profile.
That distinction matters in a home where cats share space but do not share the same feeding plan. Instead of treating every meal as one household total, the feeder can build separate records for each recognized pet.
Food tracking goes beyond the size of each portion
A built-in scale measures food in the tray, recording how much the feeder dispensed and how much remains. The Granary 2 also tracks intake, eating duration, feeding frequency, favorite eating times, and eating speed.
Over time, the companion app builds a picture of each pet’s normal eating patterns. That gives owners a record to review when a cat’s usual routine changes, without requiring them to watch every meal in person.
The feeder offers two primary feeding modes. Smart Refill Mode supplies smaller, fresh portions through the day and stops when the daily food limit is reached. Scheduled Mode lets owners choose specific feeding times and portion sizes.
The camera-equipped version adds night vision, two-way audio, and the ability to play recorded messages. The feeder can also send instant app alerts for low battery, low food levels, and food jams, while a built-in rechargeable backup battery keeps it running during power outages.
Those connected features come with extra costs. Some advanced tools require a Petlibro Care subscription starting at $59.99 per year, while cloud recording and playback on camera-equipped models require a Video Cloud plan priced at $119.99 per year.
Choosing the right litter for a multi-cat home
A smart feeder addresses food routines, but cat owners still need to choose litter based on material, clumping ability, scent, dust level, tracking, and whether the product suits multi-cat homes or automatic litter boxes. The top recommended option is Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Slide Platinum Cat Litter, which costs $26.99.
That litter masks odors well, clumps, and slides out of the box, making it suitable for multi-cat homes. Chewy Clumping Clay Cat Litter is the budget choice at $18.99; it costs less, clumps well, and also suits homes with multiple cats.
Dr. Elsey’s Ultra Cat Litter is the top clay litter, while PrettyLitter Health Monitoring Cat Litter Original Unscented leads the crystal category at $33.98. Plant-based litter is represented by Tuft & Paw Really Great Cat Litter, which costs $57.98, is made from tofu, infused with charcoal, and designed for low tracking.
Fresh News Original Recycled Paper Litter is the paper choice at $12.99. Ôkocat Original Wood Cat Litter costs $19.97, clumps well, and masks odors with a natural woody scent.
Together, the feeder and litter choices show how much daily cat care depends on matching a product to a household’s routine. The Granary 2 focuses on identifying each pet and measuring food, while litter options differ in the ways they handle odor, waste, tracking, and cleanup.
For multi-cat homes, the clearest appeal of Petlibro’s system is the attempt to separate one pet’s eating record from another’s. Its AI camera, built-in scale, feeding modes, and app tracking turn a shared food station into a system that records individual meals, though the most advanced camera and cloud features add subscription costs.
