Hey guys,

How do you guys serve your cat's meal to him/her, do you put it on a raised
platform or leave on completely on the floor?

cheers,

I use a flat stainless steel dish that sits on the floor. When I used a
stainless steel bowl on a platform, she would pick the food out and eat it
on the floor. Then I got smart and put the bowl directly on the floor.
Turned out to be not so smart because she still picked the food out and ate
it on the floor. I finally got wise to the bowl problem and tried meat
trays (it was experiment, hence the washed meat trays which I disposed of
regularly) on a platform but same problem. Finally, put the trays on the
floor and no more problem! When I finally figured out what worked, I
splurged (not really splurged--it was only $1.39 Cdn) on the stainless steel
plate.

What was the question? I seem to have rambled on and on and on.... :-) I
would prefer putting her food on a platform, but since she doesn't like it,
I put it on the floor. Whatever works best for her works for me, too!

I put the meal on a plate and then I put newspapers under it. My cats are
extremely sloppy eaters :)

Mine's on the counter divider between my kitchen and living room so the

Hey, if you got it flaunt it! If you don't, stare
at someone who does. Just don't lick the TV screen,
it leaves streaks.

Usually their canned food goes on a plate which goes on the floor. When
feeding large pieces of raw chicken on the bone, which will end up on
the floor anyway, I just plop the meat down and let 'em at it.

Hi ,
I feed Kim on a table because we have a dog who although is tiny,
would pester her or eat what left.

In stainless steel bowls rimmed with rubber on the bottom, on the floor.
Water in a large dog sized bowl. I have ceramic tile floors and just wash
the mess with a paper towel after meals.

I can only please one person a day.
Today is not your day.
Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
