Title: No Bowl Feeding system
Post by: Cherry24 on April 25, 2016, 13:53:07 PM
What do people think to this?
Gimmicky? Glorified puzzle feeder? Or worth giving a go?

I'm not sure myself. My cats do sometimes 'scarf and barf' as they put it in the video but having two cats, I like to know how much they've eaten.
I can imagine my male cat finding and eating all the food while Freya gets left out.

Well yes, that's the other thing. It totally depends on you feed them.

Geez had to switch off that american!

Cats should not eat just dry food and my cats wouldnt bother with this.

If you get rid of all the bowls where do you put the water!

Sorry dont like the4 idea at all

Well that's the thing, I would need bowls for the water and the wet food anyway so it kind of defeats the point of the concept. My cats do like using puzzle feeders though and I sometimes use their dry food instead of treats.

Interesting idea, but I don't like to feed cats dried food only.  Ours get dried food as a "snack" but in small quantities.   Good idea though for adding a little fun to feeding or play times, especially for young cats.

My cat hardly ever eats dry food and certainly does'nt need any enticing to hunt for prey, so far this week, he has brought in four baby chicks, an adult Dunnock and a vole (the vole was still alive).

Well, the concept is nice and I'm glad that reached the final goal. Though I won't buy it, I think everything will be messy and covered with food. I prefer to feed my cats in a classic way, but with one exception. Has anybody ever heard about raised bowls like this (https://catademy.com/raised-cat-food-bowl/)? I think they are very handy because they prevent neck joint strain.
