ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Last fall, we added a new member to our family: a one-year-old black cat named Gilligan. And while I've had my orange tabby, Norbert, for eight years, there have been significant adjustments to making the transition from one cat to two (to say the least).

I need all the help I can get during this period of two cats getting used to each other and learning how to coexist and share resources, so I have a list of pet tech items I plan to purchase during the Memorial Day long weekend. Here are the best Memorial Day pet tech sales I've found so far.

For long weekends away (like Memorial Day), we don't like to leave our cats home alone for more than two nights, but this automatic wet food feeder will allow them to still get their wet food dinner even when we aren't there to physically give it to them.
