The guilt of having a pet

If you can't or don't want to get an automatic feeder, pick up a bunch of small plates or saucers from the thrift store, Buy Nothing group, etc. and use the dishwasher. You can use a grabber to move the plates and a ladle to put food down without having to bend all the way down. I got a couple of simple stainless steel water fountains. They were about $10 each. IDK if they were on sale because they were new but I switch them out so there's always a clean one available. The pump needs to be hand washed but it's a lot easier to wash it by hand than the entire fountain.

If you can get a Litter Robot, I *highly* recommend it. They're really expensive but if you have enough friends and family who want to go in on a present for you, it's a HUGE help. There are other systems that are easier to clean like the Breeze Litter Box. Their litter and pads are pricey but you can use regular pine pellets and puppy pads instead which are less pricey.
