I mean, for myself I have a button that creates an alarm on the phone for the next meal. Because I'm forgetful and have a whack schedule, but have to shove food in the stomach before it dissolves itself with acid.

With cats, though, a regular schedule might be better. A friend has an automatic feeder, and their cats straight up know when they should be fed. However, some automatic feeders can be dangerous to cats.
