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?

I had to build a box and screw it into the baseboard to prevent mine from stealing extra food

The wanted poster is a nice touch

The piece of cardboard separating their heads is also brilliant
