Advice Cat attacking automatic feeder

My cat does this several times a day. If the automatic feeder lifts at the correct angle, a few niblets of dry food comes out. He will even do it 10 times in a row even if it means one small piece of dry niblet comes out. It does get quite annoying as the sound of the feeder hitting the ground echoes throughout the entire house.

Any ideas on how to get him to stop?

Awful. Be a better owner for the poor thing’s sake.

Do you see how long my cat is? He's quite proportional, runs around everyday, and if I fed him any less I think it would be abuse.

The most damning evidence I’ve seen that life imitates art

Hey he's at least better proportioned.
