Title: Designer drinking bowl?
Post by: Gillian Harvey on April 28, 2009, 13:43:20 PM

My cats love to drink out of the shallow terracotta plant saucers I've got outside on the patio and thought I'd do something similar indoors, instead of the metal bowls. I used the metal frame (you know, the type that holds two bowls?) - tried it with the china dish (which I already had) sat on top, was a bit wobbly, so turned the metal frame thingy upside down, and it was perfect because the rubber feet kind of cradle the dish and hold it stable - worked a treat! Looks good too - well I think so anyway (Angie - want to comment on taste?!!!  :evillaugh: ) Anyway, here's Sam, giving it his seal of approval...

You are on to a really great idea. Cats that get sick (colds, CRF, liver, whatever) have to eat with their heads up to try to prevent a regurg but this is the first time I know of that they can drink with their heads up a bit too. And drinking can make them sick. I think you should market them! It looks good too and so does the model in the photo  :hug:

That's a really good idea, Gillian.

Have some really nice wall mounted bowls, sadly I can't really afford them!

LOL! - yes it does a bit doesnt it?


Here's mark 2 - the one I made for upstairs (well, when I say made.... :innocent: ) - thought I'd go for a diferent colour dish, but I don't like it as much as the white dish, and this dish doesnt fit quite as well - its a bit wobbly, needs some refining methinks.....
