> 3 dayMy cat is the worst for making a mess with his wet food. Hes whisker sensitive and needs flat bowls, but he always licks the food over the side and onto the floor. These bowls have been fantastic in preventing that: the bowl is wide enough that it doesnt aggravate his whiskers, and the lip is curved just enough that he cant push his food out. It keeps his placemat clean and keeps us both happy :)

> 3 dayI was excited to give these bowls a try as I thought they would solve the problem of my cats knocking their dry food out of their dishes and also thought they would enjoy the wider, shallower dish design which is supposed to be more comfortable for cats to eat/drink from due to alleviating something called whisker fatigue. Unfortunately, both of my cats seem to prefer eating/drinking from their regular dishes. I have left both the old and new dishes out with food/water in both and the old dishes empty before these new dishes. I also am finding more food spilled out of these new dishes than with the old ones! These dishes are very nice looking and appear to be of good quality. My cats, for some reason, just dont seem to like this dish design.

> 3 dayI actually bought this for my small dogs because they dont like eating out of metal bowls. These bowls are wider and more shallow than deep. Perfect for my dogs who like to eat together and share their bowl.

> 3 dayI have purchased two sets of these bowls. The bowls themselves are great. My cats eat out of them just fine, they are easy to clean, etc. No problem there. The problem is the horrible packaging. The first set of bowls I purchased came as expected. I pulled them out of the box (upside down, which I didnt know at the time) and one of the bowls flew out of the packaging and broke on the ground. The flimsy lid did not secure the bowls in place. Had it been taped down, it would have prevented that bowl from breaking. I do own up to that, but still, Ive seen better packaging for similar items. I liked the first bowl so much, I decided to order another set. One additional bowl for the other cat, with a backup. Thought it would be great. This time, I opened the package very carefully to ensure I would have two, intact bowls. They stayed in the package just fine, but, one was broken on arrival. I again blame the poor lid. If the box gets jostled too much, it will just break. I included a picture in my review. So, all in all, I had to throw two out of four bowls out. I dont have a spare. If and when I need to order a replacement, I will probably try something else because I cant trust the packaging on these at all. I regret both purchases I made.

Greater than one weekI got these bowls because I came across reviews talking about whisker fatigue - Ive had cats for the majority of my 60+ years and I had never heard of it before. Apparently cats will hold their whiskers back so they dont touch the sides of the bowl because they use their whiskers for information on their surroundings and they can become sensitive. Anyway, though I didnt notice my cats exhibiting and problems (and what do I know?), I decided to be proactive and try to keep them comfortable. Once we started using these bowls, in addition to placing the bowls where they no longer had to step on a rubber mat (our Chrissy used to like to scratch at her water bowl and using one with straight sides and putting it on a mat saved a lot of cleanup), they started eating directly over the bowl most of the time, which is helping control the usual mess. The bowls have a slightly inward curving lip, which helps the food stay inside the bowl, and the downward sloping sides reduces the real estate for the food, though not by much. Cats generally self-regulate their food intake when they are brought up that way, so we just leave dry food out 24/7 and they nibble thru-out the day and night, though they get a small amount of wet food (canned or pouch) when we change out for fresh dry food at dinnertime. (We did have one cat who gained too much weight, but the high fiber diet the vet put her on worked well to help her lose weight and kept her from gobbling up the food all at once when I tried limiting how much I put out, which only made her vomit it back up. We also got one cat at 2 yrs old who must have been fed like a dog [who dont self-regulate] and although she stayed at the food bowl for much longer periods of time, she eventually stopped doing that and started nibbling like the rest of the cats and lost the excess weight she came to us with; her previous people gave her lots of treats because she was always hungry). Anyway, this bowl is big enough for 24 hrs of food for 2 cats, at least the way my cats eat. We also now have two skinny 4 month old stray kittens who showed up in our backyard and who are eating us out of house and home, but they are starting to slow down after a week of all the food and water they want and a full bowl of dry kitten food lasts them well into the morning after replacement at dinnertime the night before. I expect they will slow down even further as they fatten up again. One of the things I dislike about bowls for cats is that they generally have some silly cat motif, which I can do without and my cats generally take some time getting used to seeing in the bottom of their food or water bowl. We recently got some 8 pasta bowls to use as water dishes, both for volume and the whole silly motif thing. Both are an easy cleanup in the dishwasher. I recently got a few more sets of these bowls since I expect to need (at least) 2 bowls for dry food once they kittens start co-mingling with the adult cats, and I think the pasta bowls are just too deep for food for any of them, now that I know about whisker fatigue. All and all I like these bowls and highly recommend. And as an aside, these bowls were very well packaged for shipping. Really good foam padding. It would be have to be dropped very very hard for them to break.
