Are Slanted Cat Bowls Better?
Cats, especially flat-faced breeds also benefit from eating in a high or higher position. Cats by nature stand on four legs. Persians seemed to suck their food off their plates, and then gulped it down along with air. A natural tendency to vomit later or after that.
They also split food on the floor as they eat. Their whiskers get bent during floor-level dining. It makes them feel uncomfortable. Raised feeders are used for dogs, especially those who are likely to experience to get swelling but they are also good for cats.
When there is a choice between raised level or floor level dining, cats always choose the first thing just mentioned.
When you choose a bowl, the material is the thing that matters. Usually, you choose from ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel bowls. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic Bowls is often the cheapest but can wear away over time, leaving plastic bits that can be indigested. Plastic also encourages biofilm (that slick coating of saliva, food, and bacteria) and needs to be scrubbed often. The same is true for ceramics, which are also breakable and can sometimes contain paint or other materials that can be dangerous.
Stainless Steel Bowls with rubber non-slip are recommended mostly because they are easy to clean, durable, and don't slip across the floor as the pet is eating.
Before Buying:
- Consider the number of cats that will be using the feeder, whether or not to include the water bowl in the feeder it is a good idea to do so.
- Keep in mind that cats are natural "bending-down position" eaters they do not like to eat in a standing position.
- The ideal height for a raised feeder is the cat's knee height (about 4" to 6"), this eliminates the need to lift the head while eating or drinking.
- Avoid the use of deep bowls in elevated feeders. Most stainless or glass bowls fit easily into elevated feeders.
- With minimum effort on your part, your cats can eat from clean dishes at every meal since glass or stainless bowls are dishwasher safe.
Before ordering a slanted feeder, be sure about the size, style, material, and height that will be best for you and your cat. The finished product will add a "touch of rich beautyâ€, and cats will look more elegant, beautiful, cute, and attractive while dining.
