CES is a wonderful world of curiosities when it comes to newly announced products, and oftentimes this includes many quite innovative and actually useful technologies, like the Pet Feeder Match G1 from Cheerble at CES 2026 . This advanced automatic pet feeder uses Edge- AI facial recognition to match your cat’s face to a specific corresponding diet so they get the right food.
It’s intended for multi-cat homes, and is designed to ensure that each cat is getting their designated food. Most pet owners know that some pets can be a little greedy and sometimes eat food that doesn’t belong to them. With the Pet Feeder Match G1, this wouldn’t be an issue, as the dome opening wouldn’t physically open unless the cat matches the facial recognition data. This can also stop dogs in the home from going for cat food if that happens to be a problem you encounter.

While it might not be like this for every cat owner, many who own multiple cats may have specific diets for every single one. This is where the Pet Feeder Match G1 comes in. The facial recognition ensures that only the right cat is getting access to the food of a specific diet. It supports up to six cats, as well.
The feeding dome also only has enough room for a single cat at any given time. This blocks both other cats from trying to squeeze in and grab food, and dogs from reaching in as well. What’s more, is that the feeding bowl is shaped in such a way that it’s supposed to reduce whisker fatigue. Cheerble also insists that the camera used for the facial recognition only processes data on the device. So nothing is stored in the cloud. There’s also no mic that records audio, promoting privacy.
What about food freshness? It seems like Cheerble thought of that, too. There’s an integrated ice tray that will preserve food freshness for short periods. So you shouldn’t have to worry as much about the food spoiling if your cat doesn’t eat right away. Cheerble says the Pet Feeder Match G1 will be available for pre-order starting in Q2 for $259.99.
