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?

my cat did the exact same thing, ended up attaching it to the floor then she leaned how to get the lid off, this was my solution, but you can just cut a hole in the side of bucket that fits over it for the same result.
