CatGuru Cat Bowls, Whisker Friendly Cat Food Bowl for Indoor Cats, Reliefs Whisker Fatigue, Wide Pet Bowl, Non Slip Pet Feeding Bowls, Shallow Kitten Dish (Set of 2, Ceramic, White)

I don't have any cons, just pros. Worked well for a disabled kitty. We have a cat who had neurologic brain damage after surgery. He's slowly improving and we still hope for full recovery, but one big problem was feeding him. Initially I had to feed him canned food with a syringe, then by hand using a spoon. He wasn't eating independently from a bowl, or at least for only a few seconds. The bowls had non-skid bottoms, but were smooth inside and he didn't have the coordination to eat food that moved around.The design of the CaGuru bowls worked great. It concentrates the food in the bottom center. I suspect the Concentric rings also helped him visually and tactilely... he was initially blind but now has most of his vision back. The kibble was our first experiment. I didn't expect much, so gave him a small amount. He gobbled it and wanted more, which of course we were delighted to provide. The canned food, surprisingly, took a bit more time. When the kitty gets tired, his brain and body don't work very well. When he is rested, he eats the canned food quite nicely. One bowl is used for canned food, and one is for kibble.The bowls are very easy to clean and have survived drops from a 4 ft high kitty litter tree (the kitty can once again climb to a nice box cave on it and likes eating there - see the image). I also like the small cut out on the bottom edge. It makes the bowl easy to pick up and move around. Great simple design which has helped our kitty's recovery... he can eat independently with kibble available 24/7. Good nutrition, rest and time are helping him get better.

These are perfect for my kittens! The height and width as well as the texture really help then get all their wet food up instead of just pushing it around. These do cause some small amounts of food to spill off the side of your have a rambunctious eater, but I honestly don't care. It's easy to wipe up :) These are sturdy and the quality seems really good. I've already ordered a second set for their dry food!

my cats eat well out of these dishes, although sometimes food gets pushed out of them. but, they are nice and flat and wide so they can both easily access the food without whisker strain. They clean up easily in the dishwasher. My favorite thing is how neatly they stack together for storage.

I feed a feral cat who always acts like he’s starving, he gobbles and always has to rush through. Result is he pushes as much off the plate as he eats. My own indoor cat is a dainty eater so I’ve never experienced this, had no idea how to solve it. I was searching for a heavy dish that didn’t move easily and one that sat flat on the surface without a raised edge like typical bowls or even saucers have. I got tired of cleaning up the wasted food that got pushed off the plate and wound up tucked just out of reach under the lip of the bow/plate. Even though I’ve fed this cat for 2 years…..twice a day every day, as a true feral, he’s still cautious of humans and won’t approach the food until I go in the house and makes sure I closed the door. So I can’t rearrange the position of the food dish or scoop up the food once he starts eating if he’s pushed it off the plate. This bowl solves all the problems.Note, it came with a note from the owner saying the newer bowls comes without the silicone strip that pops on the bottom rim, instead they send a silicone mat with the newer versions to keep it from sliding. They added that if I preferred a mat, let them know and they’d send one right out. I thought that was a good idea and pulled off the strip and just placed it on a silicone mat I have. No slip, but really this is such a nice heavy bowl I doubt it would move anyway.This bowl is so well designed. Because of the graduated sides, the juicier part of the food would stay at the bottom so not likely to get pushed out and slop out the edges. There’s also a cut-out on one side so you’ve got a spot to slide a finger in when picking the bowl out. How clever. Since it sets so flush to the surface, it would be hard to pick up otherwise. A note from the seller encourages you to reach out to them if you have any questions, issues or problems. Great customer service. Great product. My feral eats every bite and licks it clean without losing some over the edge. This is a very heavy duty stainless steel, very easy to clean, and won’t harbor bacteria like plastic can. I didn’t want to use glass outdoors so this was perfect. I really love this.

This was the second set of these we had bought. I love that they don't slide around with the rubber feet, they are easy on my cats's whiskers, and they're easy to clean. My only complaint is, between purchasing the first set and the second set, they made the dishes a little taller and they no longer fit easily in my dishwasher.

I like these bowls and so do my cats. My cats do not grab their food and move it to the floor before eating, as they usually do with other bowls. So obviously they find these bowls to be less stressful on their whiskers and more pleasant for mealtimes. They are easy to clean. I usually soak them for 15-minutes, then pop them in the dishwasher. I especially like that they are easy to pick up, as they have a cutout in the side for an easy grip.Update: I still like the melamine bowls with one exception. I've never had one break and I drop them ALL the time. (I'm a clutz and have weak, arthritic hands.) The one thing I don't like is that my cats' wet food dries on them like iron before I get them from the sink to the dishwasher and it doesn't wash off completely in the dishwasher. I invariably have to scrap the food off either before or after the dishwasher and, often, both before AND after. Therefore I'm back today to buy the stainless steel Cat Guru bowls. I didn't even know they made them or, maybe, they are new. I love the shape of these bowls and they work well for my cats. I'm hoping the stainless steel will be just a little easier to clean.

I have 6 of these and they are really really good!

Our cat loves it and it solved many problems we experienced in feeding her. Thank you!

Wir haben bereits seit 4 Jahren Näpfe der gleichen Form aus Keramik, die aber sehr viele Abplatzer bekommen haben. Durch die flache Form mit den Rillen können die Katzen schnurrhaarfreundlich fressen und das Futter bleibt nicht in den Ecken/Rändern hängen. Ich bin happy diese Näpfe jetzt aus Edelstahl gefunden zu haben. Sie lassen sich super reinigen, sehen schlicht und appetitlich aus und dürften viele Jahre halten.

Great, cat likes them, easy to clean . Nice product

Highly recommend. Great product, light and easy to clean, so happy it relieves whisker fatigue, would buy again for sure.
