Cats need bowls for water and food. Keeping the feeding area clean is important, so a placemat can come in handy. Food needs secure, dry and pest-resistant storage. If that storage preserves fresheness, so much the better. Here are several items and ideas for you. Many can be cleaned in the dishwasher if desired. Don't use ceramic outdoors in winter, since it may crack.
Ceramic Bowl with classic styling is great for food or water.
Cat Feeding Mat - Fish DesignThis cute feeding mat is easy to clean and is large enough that even the messiest cat won't leave food all over the floor!
Stainless Steel Non Tip 24 Oz Bowl These come in several sizes. I use 1/2 cup sizes for wet food and wash them before every use. They are easy to keep clean, scrub well, and don't harbor bacteria.
Embossed Stainless Steel Bowls Are a cute addition. Unbreakable, bacteria resistant, dishwasher safe. Great for indoor/outdoor use. Various sizes available.
Bistro Feeder by Doskocil, small. This feeder is gravity-fed, so no power is not a concern. Water is held up by suction/gravity and such (physics fails me at the moment) and the bowl will not run over as long as the bottle integrity is not breached. The food only comes out when there is room for it in the bowl. A truly easy-care situation for your pet! Combine with the Automatic feeder for a weekend getaway!
