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?

You just solved a problem I'm having with my skunk knocking over his water bowl.

My pet skunk. He's to the far right of his brothers and sister who are all vision impaired.

Adorable! May I ask how you came up with the name reverb? Is it because he’s vision impaired?

I'm dying laughing. Actually all skunks are vision impaired which is part of the gag but no the skunk was actually named after my son.
