They're stunning, but like Shona I couldn't afford them....and why does the black cat bowl have blue eyes? :shify:

EDIT: Should have stipulated - I think the dotty ones are stunning. The others freak me out a bit. :shy:

I think they're lovely, really nice - BUT, I don't think I could ever see myself spending £15 on a cat bowl - let alone two cat bowls at £15 a throw.

I bought something very similar with a cat face in the bowl from a cat show one year-its still in the cupboard -not one cat would eat out of it for some reason !? :Crazy:

I have no idea why but they just didn';t like it .

Being realistic the ears would get badly chipped, the faces are awful but that doesnt matter they`d be hidden by food  :rofl: I think these have been painted by a non cat person as there have no character.Even the names are written on too big, hows a poor cat with a name like Bigboycockaleakyniagara going to cope, the dish would need to be giant size  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Sorry you did ask, so my £15 goes on 72 sachets of cat food to put in normal bowls  :rofl: :rofl:

I like the shape of the bowl with the ears  :)  but I'd prefer plain black or white.

I don't like my food on highly coloured plates so maybe your cats don't either.

I'm another one who doesn't like them.  I prefer stainless steel bowls that will go in the dishwasher or can be be easily sterilised without the glaze getting crazed

Well, I quite like them, but would have to have one each and that's £60 (not sure if I could justify the cost).
How much would it set back Liz I wonder? :rofl:

Would just like to clarify my comment, it's not that I don't think they're worth £15 each as I'm sure a lot of work goes into them. Just that I personally couldn't bring myself to spend 15 quid on a bowl  :shy:

Not being funny but if you have 7 cats you are looking at £105 to get each cat a dish and then if you have dogs you would have to find a similar item for the dog, god only knows how much they would be.

I am now trying to imagine how Liz would ensure each cat used their own bowl.   :shocked:

We would be over £800  :shocked: :rofl: but are they a reasonable size as we only have 2 doggies :rofl:

I like them but with my practicality and cost hat on, I would buy them as it would be £30 for 2 and I prefer the kind you can put in the dishwasher, lazy sod aren't I!

:evillaugh:

As someone who has hardly lived anywhere with a dishwasher this is not a concern of mine :evillaugh: So I still like them, I've had similar in the past but they didn't cost £15. Also, I have 3 cats so would need to fork out £45 for them. Perhaps once I'm no longer a student and earning a proper wage agin!
Title: Re: What do you think of these?

Never had a dishwasher!

Title: Re: What do you think of these?
Post by: bunglycat on February 23, 2011, 21:58:55 PM
Me neither Gill - never actually wanted one either - it seems a lot of hassle-rinsing first, putting and stacking in dishwasher -could have done them by hand in 1/2 the time.

Minds't you - there is only me and the 5 cats .

Although I really love them (I know, no taste  :innocent: ), that thought occurred to me; I then went on to wonder about cost of replacement if ears were chipped (OH does washing up) or whether the appropriate pud would care.... then I thought not replacing chipped one would show favouritism and perhaps would have to make up with an extra Dreamie for the affected mog and it all got rather complicated .....  :-:  ;)

Oops, should really re-read things before I send them!

I like them and I'd probably order one for Maizie, but she is an only cat so only one cost involved!

I rather like them but £15 is a bit above my budget too with 5 fuzzies!

How about personalised plastic place mats to go under dishes as a cheaper option (suggested by OH) ?

They're cute but as mentioned, you wouldn't see the face when food was in the bowl.  I do favour simple, plain bowls.  I just use the brown earhenware saucers that cost about £1 each!

Thanks you so much for the replies :)  I have passed on your thoughts to the maker :)

Now that is something i thought of a while ago to addon the personalised place mats we can do in the Purrs shop. I have the A3 size (standard place mat size) photo insert mats ready for that Purpose! They are heat resistant and washproof and have a rubber bottom for non slip.  I was thinking of  doing various fun designs to frame your pic of your cat or cats pics and names/captions.
What price would be reasonable for those ya fink?
