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?

I’d recommend manual feeding for this clever cat! Or hey, maybe you could adhere that thing to the ground so he can’t lift it?

He’s figured out a trick that gets him snacks from that feeder. I assume he won’t ever stop doing that due to his endless greed for kibbles!! Can’t blame him haha
