Is there any difference between this and the catmate other than the significantly cheaper price?

Size. The Cat Mate is smaller and does not hold as much food. I have 3 cats and the Dog mate works better and will hold about 8 days food. One cat has figured out how to get snacks by hitting the spout with his paw. But only gets a couple of pieces. Won't work outside. I had a raccoon come through and he could reach up under the spout and trigger the food. Cleaned out a feeder in a few minutes.

our dog (Min Pin) got very angry with the dogmate and chewed the entire dispenser. We had to disgard the dogmate.

Same everything.... I use mine as a cat feeder in the garage for my 2 barn cats

I'm pretty sure the Dog Mate and Cat Mate are the exact same. If I remember correctly, the instruction manual even listed both. I have cats but I bought the "dog" one because of the cheaper price!

The dog ran off, so I filled it up with Purina Cat Chow for my cats. It works fine.

I'm wondering the same thing. From the photos in the manual it seems that both the auger and the nozzle are slightly different. We have a D3000 and our hungry and enterprising cat worked the nozzle off after two nights. I've asked Pet Mate and am hoping they have a catproof nozzle to offer.

Yes, the catmate is set up to handle small size cat food. We have both of them, the cat and dog one. We love having them both!!

I got both when I got it because I wanted to see the difference. I think Feliway works better for calming, in a carrier, at the vet. But I think Nature's Miracle cost less, so I use it on furniture/rugs when I've brought in new animals to stop or prevent marking or scratching. Because 1 of my cats is a huge bully, literally & personality-wise, I always have a plug-in with Feliway going to try to reduce her intimidation tactics.

From the reviews I read, the multiple cat formula clumps better. The multiple cat is the only one I've used. I used it with 3 cats at first but lost my two senior kitties within the past year. Since I don't want to mess up what's not broken, I have continued with the same litter for the one kitty I have now. It's usually about $2 difference in price.

There is no differance, i have one of each. Get the cheaper one it is the same as the other. I was wondering myself that is why i got one of each, they are exactly the same.

Not sure but I have tried both and it serves the same functions and I see no difference in both except pricing.

We bought one over 7 years ago for 2 cats, and only replaced it this year. Mostly because we were moving house, and wanted the new one to be delivered to the new house. Well worth the money. We had tried pretty much all the other types of automatic litter boxes, and had to replace $200 units every other year, and they didn't have a very big collection tray. This one, is quick, clean, simple, and they cats hear know when it has rotated, and run to use their clean box. Besides, LR customer service is first rate! I had a problem many years ago with flashing lights on the front panel. They talked me through everything, were patient. We bought one over 7 years ago for 2 cats, and only replaced it this year.

I went with the less expensive model. It was durable and my cats played with it-my goal. They were 10 years old when I bought the unit and the male figured out he could lay on the unit and reduce the amount of distance the mouse traveled...then he continued to swatch the mouse until he caught it. It's held up well for me...I'll have it again for my next round of kittens and the fun will begin all over again.

To be honest I am not sure, what I heard is that the only difference is the box that the keyboard comes in. Get which ever one is cheaper

Descriptions are the same. Go with the less expensive one. Difference in price is significant.

It looks like the only difference is the special attachment for pet hair. We tried to compare them very closely. If you don't need that it is less costly.

I really don't know the difference but I can say the one I bought from Amazon is very low quality. It needs to be reset every day. I'd look for a different option.

I honestly have no idea. I don't think there is any difference. The cheaper one has a bunch more reviews so I'd say go for that one. Just remember the plastic part scratches pretty easily

I did not even know there was two models, but I looked at the HA model and it does not have the cat pump. I think the cat pump is better of the two

Well I feel stupid because I never noticed the two different versions of this. I have been buying the pet urine one but will definitely get the cat one next time to see it if works better. My best guess (and this is from experience with both dog and cat pee) cat urine stinks up the house a lot worse than dog urine so possibly the cat urine product would be stronger and more effective on cat odors.

I have both, as far as I can tell there is no difference. They both work the same. Buy whichever cost less. I think it's more of a style thing...

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)
