Bowls & Feeders33 products

Standard bowls come in stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic — stainless and ceramic are easier to keep hygienic, since plastic scratches and harbours bacteria that can trigger feline acne on the chin. Slow feeders like LickiMat mats spread wet or raw food across a textured surface, extending mealtime from thirty seconds to five or ten minutes. Water fountains (Catit's flower fountain is the common one) keep water aerated and moving, which many cats prefer over still water and which encourages the daily intake that matters most for urinary and kidney health. Automatic feeders handle scheduled dry meals when you're out.

Cats are notoriously bad at drinking enough water — a chronic problem in Australia's warmer months and one that contributes to urinary crystals and kidney issues in older cats. If your cat is on a mostly dry diet, a fountain or a second water station away from the food bowl often bumps intake noticeably. For flat-faced breeds like Persians and Exotics, a shallow wide bowl is easier on the face than a deep narrow one.
