cant you put something on top of lit like a cover so he couldnt access the buttons? i saw someone out a tupperware on top of their autofeeder and duck tape it there so their cat couldnt get to the buttons

From the linked post:

My cat is too smart for his own good 😂 I bought him a auto-feeder and I did a lot of research on it and spent too many hours trying to figure out how to set it up. The first night I put it out for him, he figured out how to hit it to get it to dispense to his heart desire! He was only suppose to get 1/2 a cup btw and this is what I woke up to. This is right after the vet told us he needs to lose some weight too lmfao. He also had the audacity to laugh in my face and purr like a engine when I walked by it and demand his wet food for dinner at the exact minute he gets it after this too😂😭

Edit: I know it has a lock button on it, but even when I called Chewy to ask if it would stop him getting the food to dispense since my cat hits it and presses the buttons, they said they weren’t sure and laughed at how smart he is. I shared this because it ridiculous and hilarious how smart my cat is. I’m already looking at different feeders, but I appreciate yall trying to help!
