The cat will be waiting and meowing at his bowl for 18.3 seconds.
The time it takes the cat to reach the bowl = 3.7 seconds (17/10 + 2)
The time it takes the woman to reach the bowl = 17 seconds (17/1)
The total time it takes the woman to put the food = 22 seconds (17 + 3 + 2)
Waiting time = 18.3 seconds (22 - 3.7)
Distance to the cabinet = 12 meters
Distance to the bowl = 5 meters
Total distance to be covered = 17 meters
Speed of the cat = 10 meters/s
Speed of the woman = 1 meter/s
Thus, since the time it takes is dependent on the speed of both, the cat will be waiting and meowing at his bowl for 18.3 seconds.
