I used to rely on GFW_Feedomatic to feed my hunter pet.  Made feeding

since CATA came out, despite several updates, including one just
yesterday.  I have been forced to open my bags, click the 'feed pet'
action item, click the appropriate food, close bags routine.

Anyone know of a trick to get GFW_Feedomatic working again, or a better
alternative to replace it?

I think that the best option by far is the Glyph of Mend Pet (a minor
glyph). It makes it so that your Mend Pet ability also adds happiness
to your pet (the same effect that feeding your pet has). It is the
single best "quality of life" glyph for a hunter, IMO. No more
carrying around stacks of food, just pop Mend Pet whenever Fluffy gets
a little upset! It doesn't matter whether your pet actually needs any
healing; the happiness gain happens regardless of the amount actually
healed. Although, like the regular healing from Mend Pet, the glyph
adds happiness over a few seconds of time, not in an instant burst
(i.e. wait for it to get applied; mashing your Mend Pet key
continuously does not help). Best of all, you probably have Mend Pet
somewhere on your bars already, so you don't need a new button, a new
macro or yet another addon to make it work. OK, it costs a minor
glyph slot, but I think this is far and away the most useful one of
the lot.

Totally agree, I haven't needed to feed my pet since I got this glyph,
very very worth it! Price unfortunately may well be an issue,
especially as I think Burt plays solo so may well not know a scribe he
could ask to craft it for a reasonable price, but if he can lay hands
on one it's extremely worth it.

For added insurance, there are pet talents that add to happiness too,
but those only work as an added effect of Growl (i.e. must be in
combat; can't be done at will in town) and are not available until
higher levels (32 for Ferocity pets, 44 for Tenacity). The most
similar talent for Cunning pets requires them to feed on the corpse of
a dead enemy, so it is even less practical.

The Ferocity one actually is a chance off the pet's attacks rather
then proccing off Growl, not that it makes much difference but I will
say since I got that talent I've not even needed to use Mend Pet much
since he's always happy and on high health unless I'm fighting
asomething that hits *really* hard!
