What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title specifies 400g per bowl, while the capacity field says 800 g total. The box list names only an automatic feeder, although feature text claims an ice pack. The listing also describes the feeder as Cat Mate C200 with an ice pack in one item-type field, while the model number is 401. Confirm the exact model, per-bowl capacity and selected package contents before buying. Battery type and quantity are not specified.
